A remnant of radio.

 

I miss the intelligent writing and action-packed adventure. Almost everything nowadays is condescending/watered-down and seems to follow the path of the modern Sesame Street.

 

The title theme song. Many back in the day were one minute long, but some were almost two minutes long. Some pilot episodes went even longer than two minutes for their opening titles!

'Too Many Cooks' had a somewhat long theme song; that was nice.

 

Less time spent on commercials!

 

Not using a piece of contemporary music as a time-fill.

 

You guys get those ads. I thought that was just a joke. Here in Canada you get one of there things (Life/Health Insurance, Allergy medicine or vitamins) and even then it’s like maybe once every 30 mins or so. I guess our moral advertising rules are a little higher than our friends to the south

 

it's just going to get worse...

 

Oh, no. Why do you say that?

 

I've noticed this lately...less respect, more disgusting.

 

That’s a shame, i wonder why our advertising laws are so much stricter?

 

I have no idea but it is literally impossible to watch broadcast commercial TV these days...it's just insulting, rude, crude and sadistic...they love to torture one at dinnertime especially...the worse bodily functions! I have to laugh...

 

That sounds horrible.. I guess we don’t realize how good we got it. TV ads are somewhat annoying, sure. But that level of disgust.. I can’t understand

 

it's not worth trying...they don't care...

 

We Canadians aren’t very posh people (furthest from it) but hearing this makes us look like we’re watching the queens personal tv channels

 

If you are ever in the States check it out! Just put any broadcast commercial TV Station on...You'll get a good laugh and feel good about where you live!

 

I am actually going down to New York State/Buffalo this Thursday-Sunday for holiday shopping. Will have to take note of the tv commercials

 

LOL...cool.

 

Not to mention the Trans World/Four Point/Samuel Goldwyn logos on American Gladiators too.

 

funny dialog, morals, and pretty much everything that was good...

 

Dad sitting at home on the lounge watching TV in a suit and necktie.
Mum waking up in the morning with not a hair out of place.

I used to love seeing Simon Templar (The Saint) after a fistfight with unmarked face and not a hair out of place.
Pretty cool to be so victorious wearing a three piece suit. Loved it.

 

I remember the 4 Point logo from Wake, Rattle & Roll, which came after the Hanna-Barbera Flintstones 30th Anniversary custom logo (First 30 Years, 1960-1990; design by Mike Kazaleh) and before the 1988 Worldvision "WHOOSH" logo.
