Oh my goodness I could go on forever about kids' tv programme themes: White Horses, Belle and Sebastien, Dr Who ( :wink: ), Follyfoot, Flambards, Black Beauty, The Banana Splits, Little House on the Prairie....and The Waltons. Will stop there for now.

 

Today's telly? Love the Black Books theme too - very Tom Waits. Larkrise ( :oops: ), always loved Blue Peter, Shameless....not as many!!

There was a programme on in the late 80's/early 90's called "Midnight Caller", it was a fabulous show, I loved it, and it had the coolest TV Theme ever.

 

I look every couple of months to see if someone has seen sense and released it on DVD - alas not yet :(

 

It ran for 3 series and had the closing catchphrase "Goodnight America, where-ever you are" delivered in the gorgeous dulcet tones of Gary Cole :P

 

(As an aside, the female lead was called Devon, and I have often wondered if that is where Cinnamon got her inspiration for her daughters name..... well Cinnamon?)

No,but thats really interesting.

I got it from a book I read during my late pregnancy - its commonly an ethnic male American name,& rare in females :D

 

Oddly another female Devon was born a couple of weeks before her in Henley too. Both girls went to the same secondary school & the 'other' Devon bullied my one for stealing her name :roll:

 

Mine was supposed to be called Sophie,but the gas & air made me a bit mad & I insisted she be called Devon instead. Hubby dared not argue with me :roll::lol:

I agree, we love the Firefly theme tune. Such a shame they cancelled it as it was such good fun. Our kids love it too. They've not watched Serenity though - we'll wait a few years.

 

Waltons (or is it little house OTP?) - makes me think on Sunday mornings :)

 

Love F1 theme too - Fleetwood Mac The Chain - goosebumps everytime.

 

Spooks

 

Black Books is such an original theme which goes so well with the programme. Watched it last night on Dave I think. Not seen it for ages. My fave episode is the drinking of the very expensive cellar :lol:

 

erm . . . can't think of any more right now, but there are loads more I like.
