A Life in TV Theme Songs

April 9th 2011 17:02
All that I desire to point out is the general principle that Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.-Oscar Wilde



Feeling nostalgic, I set out to find a little slice of my childhood—the cartoons I used to watch, the theme songs I’d never forget. As I searched, I was reminded more and more of all TV shows I used to watch, grinned at the memories they brought up, and even felt a little tearful at a time in the world we’d never get back. Things just seemed so much simpler back then.


As more familiar shows began popping up in related videos, I decided, why stop at cartoons? And so began my search for all TV shows I remember watching (that I could actually find the credits for anyway). I couldn’t believe how many shows I’d actually forgotten about that, cue the theme song, brought about a laugh of surprise, followed instantly by the sudden need to go watch again.

Thus, I present to you, a life in TV opening credits! Some shows I only caught in reruns, some of them are just a hazy half-remembered memory, but all of them have brought me to where I am today. So thank you creative minds of the past, present, and future! You have inspired me more than you will ever know!

Emmy snubs. Who would you nominate?

September 19th 2008 03:07

In three days, the people of TV will get together to congratulate each other on their awesomeness of making it through a Writers’ Strike shortened season. But a look at the list of nominees makes me think, wait a second, there’s some good people missing here…

Sure, we all have our favorites who we just “know” should have made it not only through to the nominees, but all the way to win right? Sure, maybe somewhere deep down we secretly know that, okay maybe they weren’t the best…but still…Haha

But in all seriousness, I do think there were some very good actors and actresses who were overlooked this year.


First off, let’s talk about Henry Ian Cusick, otherwise known as Desmond on Lost. Does anyone else think that he did an awesome job this year? I mean, seriously, I became a huge Desmond fan this year, and The Constant was a very complicated, very well acted episode. I’m so glad he and Penny finally found each other!


While I’m on the subject of Lost, how about Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim playing married couple Sun and Jin Kwon? I do believe their storyline was the one that made me cry the most this last year. So very sweet, and when Sun’s screaming at the end of the season when the boat blows up? I was screaming and crying just as hard! Jin’s death was just wrong! I mean seriously, he was SO CLOSE! I--Ahem, yes, well, you can see how I feel about that one…


Moving on, let’s talk a little bit about the boys of Supernatural. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles have portrayed the Winchester brothers Sam and Dean better than any two actors I’ve ever seen play brothers. Their chemistry is amazing and don’t let the fact that this show is on the CW make you believe this is anywhere close to fluff acting. These guys are not mere eye candy people, they can seriously ACT! The depth of emotion they can play is amazing. They make me laugh, they make me cry, they make scream at the TV when anyone messes with my Winchesters! Oh yeah, and the Impala? Awesome.


If there was an award for best ensemble cast, I would have to give it to the cast of Bones. This is one show where I actually love all the characters. And that doesn’t happen to me often! David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel have great chemistry, and the writing on this show is fantastic. Finally a crime-fighting show that actually has fully well-rounded characters that I can care about! It’s not all about the cool CSI effects, it’s about real people, witty banter, and chemistry. And I’m not talkin’ just the scientific kind.


And then there's Heroes. Granted it's definitely an ensemble cast, but if I had to pick only one person it would definitely be Masi Oka playing Hiro Nakamura. What can I say? I love the guy. His character is the one person who selflessly just wants to save the world.


On the comedy side, Zachary Levi is great in Chuck. His work as the Buy More Nerd Hearder turned secret spy computer is sweet, and funny, and the chemistry between Chuck and Casey, and Chuck and Morgan is fantastic. Maybe it’s just the geek in me, but I love these guys! And I love how the show is both a spoof and a spy show in and of itself.


David Duchovny. ‘nuff said. Oh wait, you need more? Okay, how about his work as Hank Moody, a character that we all should hate, but we can’t help but love. Honestly, I don’t think I’d like Californication if anyone else was playing Hank. David’s honest vulnerability and well-known fantastic dark wit makes Hank a guy we can all love despite his many flaws.


Finally, let’s talk about Moonlight. I know you guys know I still have a serious problem with CBS for cancelling the only vampire show I’ve ever loved (and I do mean LOVED!) Alex O'Loughlin was brilliant in this show as vampire/private investigator Mick St. John. The way he portrayed Mick, strong yet vulnerable, gave the guy an intensity and wonderful heart. Jason Dohring as witty and lovable Josef, Mick’s 400 year old best friend was great. These guys had a friendship that could rival the best of them. I so wish Moonlight would have been given another chance. With all the vampire hype this year (Twilight anyone? Tru Blood?) I bet CBS is wishing they hadn’t staked and burned our beloved Mick St. John now, huh?

Okay, well, there’s my two cents. I’m not saying that the people who were nominated didn’t deserve it, I’m just saying that it would be nice to see some of these people who’ve worked so hard for some many years on some great shows get the recognition they deserve.

So how about you guys? Who would you add to the list?

It’s been a year! Celebrate with an original song parody!

June 16th 2008 03:59

I can’t believe it, but as of yesterday, it’s been a year since I took over the blogging of TV Chit Chat, and what a year it’s been! Aside from the (dare utter it?) Writers’ Strike and lack of awards shows, there were some definite quotable quotes, *GASP!* moments, and great new shows actually worth watching. And so, in honor of this season, I thought it only appropriate to recap the year in the form of…*ahem* original parody of a popular song
