NEW LINK OVER THERE. Yeah, over there. In the recommended links list on the right hand side. Go look under TV Intros.com and you will find a wacky little site that has a strange little credo: "Where all that matters is how the show starts." You guessed it; they have countless videos of TV show theme songs. I mean, come on . . . we all know that the best part of most TV shows is the theme song -- once the actual programme starts it's often all downhill. So here we have the beginnings of MUCH TOO MANY shows where you can see anything from the theme song to SILVER SPOONS (Hi Fink!) to the godawful duet singing that opened JOANIE LOVES CHACHI. Oh, and another favourite is the several BATTLE OF THE NETWORK STARS show openings on offer on the very same site. And they've got THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN too, folks! And it looks like every damn season of SURVIVOR (Hi Cheeks!). But there's just one thing I wanna know: how come I've never heard of BATFINK until I saw it on this site?!?!?! And why haven't we seen MORE of him?!?!?!?
So, go on have a look. You know you wanna. After all, we can't all be sitting around a Rustler Steak House table listening to a TV Toons tape and talking about that old show SMOKE GUN. . .
