Whether it be from years ago & no longer running or something currently being aired.Maybe it’s an annoying one that you can’t get out of your head.

When that show first came out in Britain the powers that be replaced the word ninja with hero.Apparently for fear Britain would have an epidemic of kiddy ninja’s terrorising the neighbourhood.Nanny state, pathetic really.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies My mom recorded it. That and Coke is it. Used to play it on her cassette tape with a bunch of oldies but goodies, She is very loyal to Coke. LOL. We could not go to Burger King because their contract was with Pepsi. But I digress. I think we were thinking sit-com not commercials.

Hogan’s Hero,but not by choice. My parrot whistles it a lot,so it’s like it’s just there,in my head.

You’ve got it on your mind,
You can’t pretend it wouldn’t be nice.

Goodies!
The version I linked to is one of my ringtones. I’m such a dork. :)
@Wow yeah.Can you remember ooh ooh ooh The Funky GIbbon.I used to watch that avidly as a kid.Bill Oddie was my favourite.I loved their bike.
Ah, the Trandem.
We had it on here in the US for 6 months or so on some Public TV stations in the 1970s, and I happened to see a few episodes. The “Kitten Kong” episode is the one that sticks out most in my memory. I was reacquainted with it again whilst in Australia. It was on weekdays after school when I was there some years ago. I just had one of my UK friends send over the DVDs recently.
@aprilsimnel- I haven’t seen The Goodies since PBS used to run the show over thirty years ago. The only thing I remember of the theme is the beginning:
Goodie goodie, Yum yum.
“Who Are You” by The Who, from CSI.
and, OMG the Goodies! I haven’t seen that in decades. I loved it when I was a kid.

‘All in The Family” and “Mash”
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Holy crap! Watching your clip of Mission Impossible, from the first season, I realized the original leader of the group was Steven Hill, who later played Adam Schiff on Law & Order! I never made that connection before. Boy, did he not age well!
Actually, a theme tune I like to sing, because Donny Hathaway (RIP) was the bomb, is from the old Bea Arthur show, Maude.
My eyes are gettin’ weary,
My back is gettin’ tight,
I’m sittin’ here in traffic,
On the Queensborough bridge tonight,
But I don’t care cuz all I wanna do,
Is cash my check and drive right home to you,
Cuz baby all my life I will be driving home to you.
Instant lurve to who can tell me what show that song is from.
The King Of Queens.
Now where’s my lurve?
