I picked the groundbreaking show from the 1960s: Laugh In. Probably the songs won't mean much if you aren't familiar, but just to say it was a groovy, funny, catch-phrase laden sketch-variety show. Check it out!

Songs
Laugh In Theme Song
Goodbye Cruel World - James Darren
The Beat Goes On - Sonny & Cher
Laugh Laugh - The Beau Brummels
Sock It To Me Baby - Mitch Ryder

This was fun: to do a picspam/mood board for a show/fandom using only stock images, and avoid even location shots. Hope these qualify. See if you can guess...

...for a challenge at

tv_universe. Two fanmixes of theme songs from the 60s and 70s—one with just instrumental, one with lyrics.

I could have done this forever. When you talk to me about television and “Remember When?” my first memory is the theme songs. I so miss the days when:
--Everyone watched TV together and at the same time (so no skipping through the credits)
--The Theme Song and credits were at the beginning of the show; no cold opens! I sometimes turn on a show 20 minutes through and they are still blipping up the credits over the action!
--The Theme Songs were instantly recognizable. You’d hear the first few notes from the kitchen and be all “Oh! It’s on!”
--For some, and especially comedies, they had the concept that you could tell from the first minute or so, whether through words or images, exactly what the show was all about. Theme, characters, tone, storyline. Just check these out to see what I mean.

( Song Links and some lyrics and bonus tracks! )

For a challenge at tv_universe to "Make a TV Show." Mine's a spin-off of...well, you'll see.

Title: A Broad Abroad

Untitled-2

Synopsis: Martha Rodgers has decided to leave New York behind her. With her mystery-writer son Richard Castle getting married to NYPD's Kate Beckett, and her granddaughter Alexis doing a university year in Spain, she decides to split the difference and take up a position in a small Shakespearean theater troupe in outer London. She hopes this will give her career a boost—and her life, which had, let’s be honest, gotten into a bit of a rut, even with all the excitement of The Big Apple, Alexis’s hijinks, and the romance and homicides of Richard’s and Kate’s daily fare.

She adores London and relishes the notion of a regular acting job, though she knows her parts will be smaller and fewer. Still, the life of the theater, the footlights, the camaraderie, and above all the PLAYS—what can it be but wonderful?

Little does she know what history there will be in the histories, what drama in the drama. And that touch of black in the comedies. But she will soon find out what it is to be…A Broad, in London!

Sleepy Hollow! I wasn't going to watch this because I'm not a huge fan of horror, but a bunch of you persuaded me, so I gave it a try. Liked it, in that "oh this makes no sense but it does and it has cool music and the actors have good chemistry and it HAS JOHN CHO!" kind of way.

Great fun. I'm sticking with it to, if nothing else, find out the answer to this question posed at The AV Club:
"Is Sleepy Hollow the next Fringe or the next Cape?"

Watch along, and judge for yourself.

Tomorrow, Brooklyn Nine Nine. Because I have a weakness for Andre Braugher and loved Barney Miller, which it keeps being compared to.
