And just like that, my brain goes “there’s 104 days of summer vacation….”

And school comes along just to end it.
So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it - Like Maybe...

The only good theme tune from DD2's childhood. The Stephen Universe theme is musically good as well - the chords are so pleasing.

Smallville - " Somboddyyy saaaaaaaaaaave meeee".
I'm on series 2 at the moment omg it is literally insane. The only character with semi normal psychology is Lex Luther!
Jonathan Kent is particularly nasty and aggressive, although he does have some wonderful Bo Duke moments.

I frequently get "Bread" stuck in my head.

Not the greatest, but definitely catchy 😖

WobblyLondoner · 24/08/2023 17:49

Has nobody mentioned Bergerac yet? Or am I just showing my age...

Monkey Magic
Golden Girls
Dallas
Hawaii 5 o
Streets Of San Francisco
Diff'rent Strokes ( I see somebody else thinks so, too)
Banana Splits
Minder
Incredible Hulk ( I learned the word " poignant" off of that theme tune).
Yeah, I' m GenX!

@mum2jakie Stuck in my head since 1985!

Round the Twist

I was just about to say this ☝️

The Smurfs tune!

Another vote for Red Dwarf and The Fresh Prince has to be up there.

woodhill · 24/08/2023 18:06

I like Theme from Brushstrokes by Dexy's

Sgtmajormummy · 24/08/2023 18:32

University Challenge old version (Boooooooing….ding dang dong).
Antiques Roadshow.

PresentPrincess1 · 25/08/2023 19:26

The old rainbow theme tune is always running through my head.

woodhill · 25/08/2023 19:33

Play away and Cheggers plays pop

The Old Grey Whistle Test. Fantastic tune. BBC4 is currently showing an episode featuring a set by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.

An oldie, queen of the pant suit, Mary Tyler Moore

You're gonna make it after all
