Nostalgia

From the Classic TV Links Page:

"When I was a kid growing up in the 70s, I enjoyed the shows on network television like Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Love Boat and Charlies' Angels. But what I even enjoyed more were the syndicated shows of: Gilligan's Island, Hogan's Heroes, M*A*S*H, Brady Bunch and McHale's Navy. What I remember the most though is the actual song from those classics. How can anyone forget songs like the Munster's theme or even Edith singing and playing the piano on All In The Family. This website will focus on the classics which I was able to find and put together, but most importantly, the theme song in its an MP3 format. Though these songs generally take anywhere from 45 seconds to 2 minutes to download, this entire site is FREE for everyone. If you know your show, just click on the LETTER that the show begins and you will go to the next index page where all that LETTER's shows are listed."

My comments:
  • Of all the shows listed, the only ones I ever saw (other than being held hostage or walking past a TV when those shows were on) were All in the Family and M.A.S.H.
  • However, I was a character in McHale's Navy once. Read my memiors for the details.
  • When I recognize one of those theme songs, I get a strange kind of nostalgia. F'rinstance, when I hear "Charlie's Angels," I think of my lil' bro, who had a gigantic poster of Farrah Fawcett on the wall in his room. I wonder if he still has a crush on her....


By the way, I have no idea about the status of copyrights on the music offered at the site. I am not encouraging anyone to break any laws. 10-4?
