I’m stealing this post from my abandoned Myspace blog, written April 24, 2007, a much simpler time.
Ok, TV played a semi-prominent role in my childhood as is true for many of my friends and, thus, there are a lot of emotions and pleasant memories tied to certain shows. Unfortunately, I believe that this is no longer true for many of today’s youth. Today’s children’s programming appears very shallow, teaches nothing, and seems poorly thought out. What happened?
Well, thanks to the ever-amazing YouTube, I’ve been able to locate some shows which I haven’t seen in 10-15+ years and take a wonderful trip back in time. Please – do join me.
What I find most fascinating is my attachment to the theme songs of these shows. I haven’t heard them in years but they’ve never quite left me. And the first few notes send me racing back to the days of my youth, lying on the carpet and glued to the TV. Here I offer a brief smattering of my youthful delight. Let me know if you were raised on these shows or do tell which ones won your attention.
Today’s Special
I found this online a while back but when I did I wished again that I, too, had a magic hat.
Adventures of the Little Koala
This first notes of this theme immediately take me back. Thanks, Nickelodeon.
and why not an actual episode of the Little Koala?
David the Gnome
This show is beyond cool in my eyes. Full of adventure, the theme song is absolutely inspiring.
Grimm’s Fairy Tales
Ok, I have always loved this show and I’ve secretly been in love with the theme song since I heard it. I have never admitted that because I thought the song was too girly to love with the children’s choir and all; but no longer – I will say I love the song and dream of adventure whenever I hear it.
Pts. 2, 3 (Can’t leave you hanging)
Happy watching.
