Curses, whoever posted that link to retrojunk in the "ABC Movie of the Week" thread. Every time I go look at that site, I spend an hour there at least. :P

Here's today's nostalgia trip:

I remember loving this show when I was a kid. How come they don't write great theme songs like that any more?

Here's another one that was awesome but no one has posted video. Surely someone out there has the intro for this on VHS? If they released it on DVD, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, even though it probably isn't as good as I remember.

Here's the theme song anyway:

Lisa, I hate to turn you on to something that's an even more addictive timewaster, but YouTube is filled with stuff like this. You can find SEARCH there too. And this opening from a NAME OF THE GAME episode:

THE NAME OF THE GAME Open

EDIT: Link is fixed

I am well acquainted with youtube, but I couldn't find NAME OF THE GAME there -- just a bunch of Crystal Method videos. I guess I didn't dig deep enough.

Actually, your link appears to be broken. Try this one:

Because hip-hop has become synonymous with crime, so crime shows now have to drag in some dreary ersatz "street" music to sell their cod verite. Of course, NYPD BLUE wouldn't have worked with the strings-n-things score of PROBE (you can practically smell the velour and vermouth in that opening title) but maybe people would see the horsehit of the LAW & ORDER and CSI franchises if they had scores that didn't do so much covering for them.
