Theme Song Thursday: Roseanne
Why Roseanne this week, you ask? No other reason than that the Chicago Bears are in the Super Bowl, and that Roseanne was set near Chicago in Illinois. (I thought Lanford was supposed to be near Chicago, but over at Wikipedia, you find that the actualy location of Lanford varied depending on which episode you were watching. Wikipedia also goes into the whole Becky switch thing that went on. That bugged me.) That’s it. Nothing more.
Roseanne entered the sitcom arena with a bang, at least in our house. We watched this show together …read more

Theme Song Thursday: Kids Incorporated
Kids Incorporated. One of those Saturday morning shows (at least I think that’s when it aired, when else would it have?) that I remember loving, but I no longer have any idea why I liked it or what the plot was even. Kids dancing, that’s what I remember. You can head over here to see what Wikipedia remembers about it.
Enjoy the theme song, and watch for Fergie (Stacey Ferguson) of the Black Eyed Peas. She’s the first one to be credited. Crazy, huh?
Theme Song Thursday: Small Wonder
Okay, so I’m gonna go ahead and make a Thursday Theme out of this whole theme song thing. Hmmmm…that was a lot of “th’s” in that sentence. Odd.
Anyway, we both know that you could look these up yourself, but we also both know that you won’t. I will, because it’s my job. (heehee, this is my job. That still floors me.) And besides, if you were to look these up, you’d actually have to remember all of these often ridiculous shows. Unlike me, I’m sure you’ve relieved your poor little brain cells from …read more
Spence as Mr. Belvedere
I’m sitting here watching King of Queens, and it’s the episode where Doug’s (Kevin James) friend Spence (Patton Oswalt) becomes the houseboy for Doug’s other friend, Deacon (Victor Williams). And, all of the sudden, they do a bit where Spence is very Mr. Belevedere-like and play they theme song to the show. Very fun for me.
I was sad to hear that King of Queens will be ending this May. It’s had a good run, and has cracked me up for years. In a world dominated by reality shows, though, the sitcom seems to be …read more
Facts of Life Theme Song
Since it’s been stuck in my head since my last post, I figured I’d make you suffer along with me. Actually, I really like this theme song, and it’s fun to see all of the characters again. Jo (Joanna Marie Polniaczek—and I remembered all of that, except for the spelling of the last name—scary) was too, too cool. If only I had the The Facts of Life – The Complete First & Second Seasons, I could see it whenever I wanted! One of these days.
And go here for fun quotes from the …read more
Too Close for Comfort
It must be 80’s Sitcoms Theme Song week here, because I keep getting drawn back to these videos on YouTube.
Too Close for Comfort came up when I was with my sister and my friend playing the Trivial Pursuit 80’s Edition game a few months back. I was so frustrated because I could not come up with the name of the show. I just kept picturing Ted Knight with that dumb cow puppet on this hand. And there they are, Ted and the puppet, in the opening credits.
Enjoy:
