I think the first two were Banacek and Columbo, but others were added later: McMillan and Wife and Cool Million come to mind.

George

Actually, I watched McCloud all the time (as well as the other "Mystery Movies" it rotated with). It's funny, because I was thinking that most of the (non-Aaron Spelling) shows of the 70's were cop shows, but this was a western theme song. I shoulda known!

George

I post a puzzle with four pictures of women and you don't chime in until this?

George

Yes.

George

"Be good, be gone, or be dead!"

This reminds me of the small-church-group movement that we're seeing in my church, but without the anchor back to the Church. It also reminds me on the surface of TWI, but not when one looks at it: as there does not appear to be the classes, the money-grubbing, or the hierarchy.

Yet.

The only time "bathroom on the right" even reached my consciousness was when a DJ said it jokingly. I understand that often lyrics were hard to make out, but that just doesn't make any sense! On the other hand, two lyrics that I misunderstood may not have occurred to the rest of you, either, but at least there was some logic there:

You don't need a pinhead (penny) just to hang around. (Down on the Corner)

What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain, when I needed sunshine on my brain (sunshine, I got rain)? (I'm a Believer)

Kathy, is Paw a gambler?

Sudo, I watched a lot of TV in the 70's but I don't recognize that theme.

George

I remember that one. I also remember that Anne Murray did Daydream Believer after the Monkees.

Right. But Anne Murray didn't write "Daydream Believer." Neil Diamond did write "I'm a Believer."

George

Yo! Pawnbroker!!!

George

Sudo,

With the pasing of Don Knotts, that song has been heard quite a bit lately. What a fine show. Times were simpler then.

George

I thought so. Hopefully, someone else will get it, too.

George

Neil Diamond recorded his hit "I'm a Believer" after the Monkees, if I remember correctly.

George

The band was Manfred Mann's Earth Band (the 70's version of 60's group Manfred Mann, famous for "Do Wah Ditty" and "The Mighty Quinn") What made this song special? I dunno.

George

It sounds a lot like Haydn or Handel (not quite inventive enough for Mozart). As to who may have performed it in the 60's -- no idea.

It does remind me of several disco "remakes" of some classics: "Thus Spake Zarathustra"*; "Night on Disco (Bald) Mountain"; and my favorite, "Joy," a peppy version of "Jesu, Joy of Man'd Desiring."

George

* best known these days as the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey"

I was a little confused about those two as well, but it was my best guess.

Anyway:

George

Ken,

It seems that most of us know the name of the western, so go ahead and give it away!

George

P.S. I knew this one when I first heard it. I just didn't hear it until now!

I think we need another clue.

George

"Remember the Titans"?

George

Kathy's second pic was from "Dr. Strangelove," or more properly, "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."

George

As far as the Western theme he posted, I alway's thought Brisco County, Jr. from the 90's was just a cheap ripoff of that show.

Rick

Ah, but Bruce Campbell has a charm all his own. I loved his work in "Xena" and "Jack of All Trades," as well as "Brisco County, Jr." And you've got to love the title of his autobiography: If Chins Could Kill.

George

He's insinuating that it's from "Babes in Toyland."

George

She is a big baby when she's hurting.

So is this a prayer for HER or for YOU??

Praying for her healing.

George

And I, as well.

Sometimes we try to give God options: Well, complete healing would be best, but at least remission, and if not that, then a quick and painless death, so at least he's not suffering a long time.

Might as well pray for the best!

George

It's an 88 Magnum. It shoots t'rough schools!

George

Okay, to wake the rest of you up (and to move this thread to the top -- so there, Sudo, nyah, nyah!), here's one that SHOULD give it away:

My father hung me on a hook once...ONCE!

George

If I were to make a wild, wild guess, I'd say it's a western. B)
