This show kind of freaked me out when I was a kid...

Oh, dear Lord...

Wow, I forgot that show even existed. And I liked it that way.

I'm convinced all 70s children's shows must have been somehow drug-inspired.

the UK version of The Office

Errr, it isn't the UK version of the Office, it is The Office.

 

The original and equally as bad as the US version of the Office.

Cheers is a favorite of mine too... I miss that show.

I don't "miss it" exactly, since I still see it plenty. One of the cable stations plays "Cheers" from 1AM - 4AM every weeknight.

 

Favorite theme songs? I don't know. A few good ones which sound too perky and hokey now - like Maureen McGovern's song for the short-lived Donna Pescow/Robert Hayes sitcom "Angie," or the theme from "Perfect Strangers," or "Family Ties" and "Growing Pains," etc.

 

I also like the bass-heavy theme songs because I'm a bass player: Barney Miller, Night Court, and Seinfeld.

 

There's probalby a bunch of others I'm forgetting.

Yeah, '70s kids shows were probably all created by '60s hippies who'd moved into broadcasting and children's education.

 

I remember one kids show being so trippy, I couldn't even watch it as a KID without having an acid freak-out. Turns out the show was made by the New York State Department of Education and was on local PBS, so not many of you will know it. It was called "Vegetable Soup," and they did a running segment called "Outerscope" about a group of puppet children who build a wooden spaceship in their backyard and have adventures on strange planets and in other dimensions. That's psychedelic enough, but the freakin' puppets would give anyone the creeps: they had dead eyes and large human hands (out of proportion to their bodies) which seemed to come directly from their shoulders - no real arms to speak of. You can see them here.

"St. Elsewhere"

I used live right over by the building used as "St. Elsewhere" in Boston. It's actually apartments for elderly. You can even see the old elevated orange line on Washington Street towards the end. That's no longer there. It's underground now.

That was written by Dave Grusin, who also wrote some moving incidental music for the movies "On Golden Pond" and "Tootsie."

 

 

 

Good call on "Courtship of Eddie's Father" and "Welcome Back, Kotter," guys.

 

How about

? "Believe it or not,
. Please leave a messaaaaage, at the beep. I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home." laugh.gif
