Wacka Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 All in the Family - I love that show. Although I don't remember it all that much when I was a kid. I think my parents watched it though... Thank goodness for TV Land. CW 510903[/snapback] I remember the first show. Archie tells Edith a a black man at work is a "Black beauty". He said he got that from the guy's bumper sticker-"Black is Beautiful". Meathead starts complaining to Archie about putting down people. Edith says "It's a lot better than when he called them coons." My father calls my mother into the room and says see this show- they actually called a black guy a coon! We knew this show was different from the start.

Beerball Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 How come none of you he-men has mentioned The Mary Tyler Moore Show (the great Paul Williams) or Rhoda it's spinoff? Now those were catchy tunes. Who can turn the world on with her smile? Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well it's you girl, and you should know it With each glance and every little movement you show it Love is all around, no need to waste it You can have a town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all You're gonna make it after all How will you make it on your own? This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone But it's time you started living It's time you let someone else do some giving Love is all around, no need to waste it You can have a town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all You're gonna make it after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 About 10 years ago, Shredd & Ragan did a TV theme song CD for charity. Buffalo bands did their favorite theme songs. I have it lying around somewhere. Songs on it I remember: Unkown Stuntman (Fall Guy) I'll be There for You (Friends); Goo Goo Dolls did this one Theme from Maude Movin' on Up (The Jeffersons); This one is on there a couple of times Those Were The Days (All in the Family); John Valby and Edge DJ Kit Missle Theme from The Banana Splits Both themes from WKRP in Cincinnati Cheers Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard Instumental Theme from Barney Miller There's a bunch more that I'm forgetting.

rockpile Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I was about 18, and I was walking through the living room. All of a sudden I hear this rough voice on the TV say something about the coloreds and the kikes. I stopped dead in my tracks to see what show this was! You could not say anything remotely like this on the air around 1970. That was surely a show that really pushed the limits. All in the Family - I love that show. Although I don't remember it all that much when I was a kid. I think my parents watched it though... Thank goodness for TV Land.

Wacka Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 There was a reggae song that used the La-La La part of the Banana Splits song. Someone I worked with who was born in the 70s didn't believe me that it was from the cartoon until I found a web site with the sound file on it.

That is one episode that keeps you rolling. Millbank posted the WKRP sound file earlier in the thread. It would be great to find Les Nessman's "on air" account during that episode on a sound file!
