I like things I remember
I went for a little trip down memory lane, looking up the intro themes for some shows I used to watch as a kid, it’s chilling to see them again after so long, some of them only at the edge of my memory
The Green Forest, I had only enough recollection of the title to search for it. At first I wasn’t sure, but with the end of the song, it all came flooding back.
Rarely saw it, but the song always stuck in my mind. It wasn’t until that damn SNL sketch I saw years later that I remembered it at all
The Racoons, who cares about the intro, it was the ending theme that I loved. Come with us, I see passion in your eyes, run with us.
Ewoks theme, pure goodness. Except there was a second intro, but a retooled show which was just terrible. This was the good stuff.
Droids, honestly, a show I didn’t much care for, but I liked the intro (when I think for everyone else, it was the reverse.. whatever)
The Littlest Hobo, as a kid I never actually watched the show, but I loved the theme. So did you, admit it.
Care Bears (with other animals), there were different themes, but this is the show I remember. Is it a bad sign my favorite character was Noheart? Yeah, probably
Teddy Ruxpin, this show pissed me off, because it was a serial and I could only ever catch bits of it. Also, airships are cool.
Wonderful Wizard of Oz, bringing together Oz and anime in a serial I quite enjoyed, even though I was getting on in years.
You Can’t Do That On Television, I have the vaguest memories of this show, mostly involving slime.
Fred Penner’s Place, I always wanted to find a secluded grotto connected to the outside world only by a hollow log. Now I do, it’s called my apartment.
Mr Dressup, back with Casey and Finnegan, the only Mr. Dressup I ever knew. The newer stuff is non-cannon dammit
Polka Dot Door, where Polkaroo was constantly missed, the dolls remained dolls, and to the best of my knowledge, every day was imagination day.
Read All About It, saw this in elementary school, and it creeped me out.
Today’s Special, it’s about to appear… I really liked the security computer. Ah, foreshadowing.
Stop remembering TV and get back to work

Friends with Detriments
XKCD hit the nail on the head with this comic, the dawning realization of familiarity is both surprising and incredibly depressing.

You already know how this will end
I’ve never played Gears of War, 1 or 2. I don’t even know the gameplay mechanics other than it being something akin to a first person shooter, and I’m not particularly interested in playing it. But I’ve seen ads on TV for Gears of War 2 and I found the animation and the music intriguing for some reason. Each commercial I saw seemed to actually be a 20 second or so slice from the main trailer I was able to find on youtube
Last Day trailer
Of course, course, the song alone is where most of my interest turned out to be, and the whole thing is, again, on youtube. Very nice.
