vagabondage put up this TV MEME a while ago so thought I'd try it. Some of her answers I just *kept*, heh, cuz, me too. You're supposed to give five examples for each question asked. I'm not tagging anyone but feel free to copy and answer if you haven't already.

2. The barber realizing "Daniel died!" and crying like a fan, on the fannish meta ep of StarGate SG-1.

"Tossed Salads And Scrambled Eggs": 5 TV Theme Songs You Know (and Love) By Heart:
God do I *hate* that Frasier theme song! I turn off the sound when it plays.
1. Smallville (less so now, but at first it blew my mind)
2. Perry Mason (though it has no lyrics, oh well)
3. Highlander
4. DaVinci's Inquest end theme, till they changed it.
5. NCIS
If they have to have lyrics, substitute Drew Carey (both "Five O'Clock World" and "Cleveland Rocks"), Sugarfoot, and Hotel de Paris, a little-known Western whose hero, the Sundance Kid, was celebrated in the theme song by a MALE VOICE singing, "Sundance, Sundance, anywhere you wander/My heart's ridin' with you." No it wasn't a great song but gosh! And: Greatest theme composer of all time? Mike Post.
