I spent a great portion of my childhood watching TV. Some folks may say I spent too much of my childhood watching TV. Looking back, at times I feel like the kid in the opening credits to Dream On, and I start to think that maybe those folks were right because a lot of my childhood memories are in some way tied to television.
For instance, I remember taking karate with my sister and the Rossi's in 1981, the year that The Greatest American Hero premiered, which quickly became my favorite show during its short-lived run. I also remember talking to my friends in school about that show and The Fall Guy, starring Lee Majors. I remember writing episodes to Manimal, Automan and Whiz Kids in third grade (1983) with my buddy, Rob Willard. My friend Dave and I used to discuss Pee-wee's Playhouse back in sixth grade (1986), and in 1987 I developed a crush on Kimmy Gibbler of Full House when that show premiered. I became friends with Adam Repka the year The Facts of Life (thankfully) went off the air (the year was 1988. We were in the 8th grade).
See what I mean? Should I go on? I can relate everything to movies, as well, but this post is about television shows because I found TelevisionTunes.com Check it out. It's a lot of fun. I found so many shows I had not thought about in years and it was really cool hearing their theme songs again. Enjoy!

I wish I could remember things. You should write more blog.
All hail Andy, the giver of wonderful internet distractions.
