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!

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…*CUE PIANO MAN MUSIC*
(Why am I having a Bones moment? Oh right…
) *sits down at the piano and pulls out the harmonica*
And here, for those of you who like to read parodies along with the actual song...

On with the show!!
It’s nine o’clock at my computer
The regular fans loggin’ in
There’s a TV sitting next to me
Still wonderin’ what happened to Jin.
He says, “Sun can you bring back the time machine?
I’m not really sure where it is,
But it’s buried, once cone-shaped, now probably black
Locke knows, but Jack’s better with this.
la la la didi daaa
la la didi daa
daa dum
Play us a show, you’re the TV set
Play us a show tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a tragedy
With comedy written in just right
Now Dean in the car is a friend of mine
And Sammy yeah he’s in there too
They’re quick with the joke
Or to pull out The Colt
But there’s demons and more than a few
Dean says, “Sam, I believe this is killing me,”
As Bela ran away with the gun
“Well I’m sure that I could get out of this deal
But dude, you for me, that’s not fun.”
Oh la la la didi daaa
la la didi daa
daa dum
Now Bones, she’s a best-selling novelist
Who never has time for a life
She and Booth in therapy, and Sweets doing pottery
And still no Squint wedding in sight
And the “Mc” thing is still on at Seattle Grace
And Dr. House and his cane are alone
Because Wilson and Amber are now a thing
And poor Sloan is now all on his own
Play us a show, you’re the TV set
Play us a show tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a tragedy
With comedy written in just right
Mick and Beth have to deal with the “human thing”
And Josef redecorates with a smile
But they know Coraline and the writers will try
To tease, break them up for a while
And the music brings tears to my little eyes
And the lighting reminds me of noir
And if it doesn’t come back and they stake Mick St. John
As Josef says, CBS “It’s SO ON!”
Oh la la la didi daaa
la la didi daa
daa dum
Play us a show, you’re the TV set
Play us a show tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a tragedy
With comedy written in just right
Whoohoo! I just wanted to say THANKS to all the TV fans who visit TV Chit Chat and all you Orblers who've welcomed me in! You've all made this a great first year, and here's a virtual toast to many more to come!!
