No, I cannot let you say that and not get chastised. Qbert is not a game about getting to the top, it's about color changing squares on a pyramid. what else are you getting wrong?
@GENXPERIENCE 22 сағат бұрын
H, you're right. It is about changing colors. It'd been so long since I played. Thanks for the clarification. What else? I know, watch every single one of my videos, make a list, and make sure to chastise me. Thanks for the views in advance.

What about "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" from "The Beverly Hillbillies"?
@GENXPERIENCE Күн бұрын
It is true, although from 1962...it clearly was before Gilligan's Island's 1964 storytelling...so truly that is probably earliest.

For me Leon Redbone was an aquired taste but I did like his theme to "Mr. Belvedere". My sis and I thought it was going to be cheesy fluff but it was actually prettt funny.
@GENXPERIENCE Күн бұрын
Okay, I see where you are going with that. I will admit that Mr. Belvedere wasn't memorable for me...but that doesn't mean I didn't watch it. But I thank you for watching and for the comments.

Not so much story telling but it does set the mood: Maureen McGovern's theme to "Different Worlds" is pretty catchy and I think it got radio airplay as well. Also the chorus theme to "Its A Living" and the Sherman Hemsley show "Amen". And I liked the instrumental theme to ALF and honorable mention to the theme to its animated series.
@GENXPERIENCE Күн бұрын
The instrumental for ALF is a Winner in my book. I did think of Diff'rent World...but it wasn't quite fitting my criteria, lol. I watched Amen, but going to have to revisit that one. Thank you

We didn't know they were Mid - Low quality. There were fun at the time! Pac Man was the most influential, because they actually made the proto- SMB PacLand! (Also, Pre-Simpsons, notice?) Now it's non-canonical with a more sonic-like identity for Namco's Pac Man

A theme song fanatic here! When I was a kid and got a tape recorder for my birthday, I was on cloud nine. I used to tape the theme songs of TV shows as well as the shows themselves and listen to them later. Very weird, I know, especially by today's standards, but this was before the VCR and even those are now obsolete. (But I still own one.) Thanx for all the memories, Victor!

@@GENXPERIENCE I just think it was a tired retread of the infinity better Foul Play.

I'm a baby boomer and even I remember a lot of these shows that were on Saturday mornings.

I miss those days in the 70's and the Saturday morning TV shows.

We had a nice cross over there in the early 70s for sure. Plus reruns helped a lot for some of these, but there is no arguing how great it felt. The simply Saturday morning life for a kid. Thanks for watching.

Theme songs are definitely a lost "art." Even instrumental ones like MASH and Taxi hold up -- in that regard, some did last into the modern era (by that I mean a decade or so ago with shows like The Office and Parks & Recreation having themes that are memorable). When you constantly strip things down to the bare bones, you lose something, and I think the dumping of theme songs to free up more commercial time or to just save time and money is one of those moves that has really taken away from so many shows.
@GENXPERIENCE 3 күн бұрын
Agreed. And yes, instrumentals (even those that came later) can be so very nice and still work in that same way. But those abrupt starts, the lack of build up is just missed by me...and others, I think.
