Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 1

So here we are – the number one theme of the 1990s.  However, before entering into our last and greatest entry, I present to you the previous nine entries:

10. “Second Time Around” from Step by Step

9.  “I’ll Be There For You” from Friends

8.  “Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs” from Frasier

7. “I’m Always Here” from Baywatch

6.  “The Simpsons Theme” from The Simpsons

5. “Theme of Law & Order” from Law & Order

4.  “As Days Go By” from Family Matters

3. “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

2. “Theme from Beverly Hills 90210” from Beverly Hills 90210

Quite a list huh? We’ve certainly come a long way baby. In looking back at the top ten, I can say that my only regret would be the uncreative titles many of the theme writers gave their moving works of television nostalgia.  Seriously, 4 of the last 5 on the list include the show title in their theme name.  Of course, I guess that’s my fault for choosing mostly instrumentals and a referential theme that directly addresses the main character of the show as four of the top six. Thankfully, the number one television theme song of the 1990s breaks this mold.

It’s no surprise to anyone who grew up in the 1990s:

Your Comedy Moment

From this past weekend's SNL, two great clips of Back to the Future screen tests.  Bill Hader and Jay Pharoah steal the sketch, but Jon Hamm doesn't do half bad for himself.  Make sure to watch the clips before they're taken down by NBC.






Plan is to have the last entry into the top ten on Tuesday. However, on a serious note, I will be attending my grandmother's funeral tomorrow so I'm not sure whether I'll have time to finalize the write-up.  She was a good woman who this blogger will miss a great deal.

I'll be thoroughly impressed should anyone get this one correctly.

ETA: Knowing my hobbies and special interests may guide you more clearly to finding the correct answer.

Your Comedy Moment

To keep with the 90210 theme, I decided to choose a scene of Tori Spelling first attempting to act and then attempting to model.  She fails on both counts. But it is hilarious.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 2

In delving into the annals of television theme songs, I always tried to pick one specific version of the theme to feature for the countdown – at least as far as choosing my favorite for the list.  When it comes to number two, however, I cannot narrow my choices down to just one choice as different seasons of the show featured variations both on the theme and the intro.  At number two, the “Theme from Beverly Hills, 90210.”

Beware, plenty more videos after the jump:

The difficulty in naming this cartoon may have more to do with its relatively recent creation as opposed to obscurity.  Who watched the occasional cartoon in their tween years?

Your Comedy Moment

With The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as our featured theme song today, could "Your Comedy Moment" be anything but Alfonso Ribeiro doing "The Carlton?"


First, here's a compilation of some of the best Carlton dancing scenes set to Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual." The second video (after the jump) is an unedited version of Carlton's dance with that laugh track clear as day.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 3

As I touched on in my review of “I’ll Be There For You,” sometimes the theme song of a show crosses over from television theme into part of the American consciousness. “I’ll Be There For You” showed its relevance to the country pretty immediately as it reached as high as #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 (when those figures still mattered). The song at number three, however, has shown its reach of the American consciousness by being the one song (outside of “Happy Birthday”) that everyone aged 20-35 can sing off the top of their head.

Podcast?

Wanted to throw it out there to my readers before beginning the process, but would any of you be interested in listening to a podcast (either weekly or monthly) regarding my views on television both past and present?  I figure a podcast format would allow me to comment a little more in-depth about shows I'm digging without running into my problem of over-writing or repeating points.


Anyway, leave your opinion in the comments if you think it'd be something you're interested in or not.


Here's a shot of the cast of Mad Men in honor of their excellent 4th season which concluded on Sunday.

Your Comedy Moment

Today I wanted to share with the audience one of my favorite South Park moments. I can't help but laugh out loud whenever I see (or I guess hear) this clip. Remember new episodes of South Park are running Wednesday at 10/9c on Comedy Central.

Your Comedy Moment

What Family Matters thought of as a "comedy moment," here's a compilation of the one and only Steve Urkel:

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 4

Though I’ve expressed my occasional enjoyment for instrumental theme songs (and looking at the countdown, both number five and number six would qualify), there is something even more special about a cheesy, emotional theme with lyrics written specially for the show.  No one did it better than Jesse Frederick, who previously made an appearance at number ten and makes another here at number four.

Hate Jim Rome, but in honor of former LSU Tiger Brian Wilson's performance in the NLDS here is his appearance on Rome is Burning from September.  Oh yeah, Wilson is crazy.

No one got last week's cartoon; so here's a new image from it to make it easier:

Now onto this week's:

Your Comedy Moment

I wanted to feature some great, clever pre-title lines of the late Jerry Orbach as Det. Lennie Briscoe on Law and Order, but I can't seem to find any compilations online.  Thus, in his place, I'll use the poor-man's version.  Here's some horrible lines from David Caruso on CSI:Miami.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 5

In the Top 10 90s TV Theme Song countdown, the themes picked all contain two separate yet equally important features: listenability which makes me want to hear the song again, and memorability which keeps me from forgetting it. This is one such song. BUM-BUM

Top 10 90s TV Theme Song #5 “Theme of Law and Order” by the great Mike Post from NBC’s Law and Order.

Sorry for lack of a real intro, couldn’t find a version that would let me embed it.  Here’s Season One’s intro though if you don’t mind following a link.

Big Ups to Blackened Out

Just wanted to throw some props to the folks at Blackened Out for the Twitter shout out today.  Blackened Out is my favorite blog dealing with New Orleans food. Rene and Peter do a great job and update it daily. Check it out for all your New Orleans dining needs.


Now, because I know how big a Les Miles fan Rene is, I figured I'd unveil my sequel to "Where Les Miles Happens" to my blog audience.  Revel in the genius of Lesticles.

To go with our theme song of the day, here's a collection of some great The Simpsons clips.  This will be out biggest clip post in blog history, so if you love The Simpsons you'll be in heaven. You're welcome. 


Sorry for having to use Hulu, Youtube Simpsons clips tend to suck.  More clips after the break.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 6

I’ve made it a point in these countdowns to exclude themes from Saturday morning cartoon-type shows and their live-action brethren because of plans to produce a later countdown based solely around them.  Still, if a cartoon was regularly aired during primetime, it can qualify for this list.  Today we have a just such a cartoon.

Top 10 90s TV Theme Song #6 “The Simpsons Theme” composed by Danny Elfman

Because I'm still pissed off...

Working on a new one; but here's a gem from last year:

Name the Cartoon Contest

Congrats to Tickles on another cartoon victory.  Let's see if you can figure this one out...

The Search for Rod Belding

Found this video on Tigerdroppings.  Has potential to be an awesome, awesome movie.  Based on the story of two Beldings...one of which is balding.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 7

What can I say? I’m a sucker for really cheesy themes, and there is no theme cheesier than our number seven pick.

Top 10 90s TV Theme Song #7 “I’m Always Here” by Jimi Jamison from Baywatch.

...and More

Again, I often forget the title to this blog gives us the potential to journey beyond the constraints of television.  Thus, I figured today would be a fun time to put my long-ago recut trailer for Can't Buy Me Love on the blog.  I'm guessing a number of the readers have already watched this bad boy but figured it can't hurt to get one or two more eyes on it.  I think I'll be re-cutting another movie in the near future so I'll be sure to post it on here when it's done.

Your Comedy Moment

Eschewing some popular scenes that feature Niles heavily, I thought that for today's Frasier-centric "Your Comedy Moment" I'd feature a clip from the episode "The Show Where Diane Comes Back." I think anyone who's seen both Frasier and Cheers will quickly realize what's happening in the scene; however, I must point out Kelsey Grammar's hilarious facial reactions to the play he's watching as well as the slow boil that leads to the excellent last forty second of the clip or so.  


I always hated Shelley Long; this clip does nothing to change that hate.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 8

As we’ve discussed before, complexity is not always a recipe for a successful television theme.  In fact, “simple” songs can yield some of the best results. Number eight on the countdown is probably the “simplest” song on the list but completely unforgettable.

Top 10 90s TV Theme Song #8 “Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs” from Frasier.

Name the Cartoon Contest

It's getting harder to think of different cartoons to use for this feature.  This one may be too easy, but it's from an awesome cartoon that still holds up today.

Your Comedy Moment

Again, not too big of a Friends fan so I'm unfamiliar with much of their later, humorous hijinks. I always like a good Chandler clip though so here you go:

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 9

I realize one of the flaws with my original Top Ten 80s TV Themes list was my lack of properly weighing cultural significance to a show’s placement in the charts.  A late-coming reader had correctly pointed out that the Dallas theme was iconic throughout the 80s, and unfortunately I left it completely off my rankings and honorable mention.  (Same thing with The Dukes of Hazard theme but luckily I caught that and admitted the mistake).  Thus, though I may not particularly enjoy this song as much as others, its cultural impact is far too large to ignore.

Your Comedy Moment

I've recently decided that repeating television shows in the "Your Comedy Moment" feature isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world.  Having said that, I've been plowing through a few hard to find, classic SNL clips that I could remember to search for.  From May 1992, here's one of my favorite bits from a Tom Hanks hosted episode. 


One of the problems with the early 90s SNL was the need to fit such a large cast into the show. That tended to lead to a number of skits where the goal was to get as many cast members into the sketch as possible.  The "Sabra Price is Right" skit is an example of one of these extremely full sketches that works very, very well.  My favorite moment is probably what happens once Chris Rock arrives, but the whole thing is great.

Childhood Flashback - Doug

Taking a break from the countdown to delve into the depths of Doug, the story of an annoying young boy, Doug Funnie, living in Bluffington, his annoying dog Porkchop, and his really annoying best friend Skeeter Valentine.  Oh wait did I forget his annoying crush Patti Mayonnaise? Or what about that annoying rich girl Beebe Bluff? The annoying assistant principal Bone? God, looking back at it, the only one on the show who was actually funny was Roget Klotz – the class jerk and main antagonist of Doug.  Which begs the question – why did I watch this show?

Your Comedy Moment

So my genius idea for Your Comedy Moment was to run a scene from the show listed in the Top 10 TV Themes Countdown for that day.  What I failed to realize was that Step by Step isn't quite as funny to me today as it was to me in 1995.  Still, I've resigned myself to this setup so here's today's "Your Comedy Moment" featuring the lovely Staci Keanan* acting a little too high, out-broading even the Code-man.


* Also, someone needs to sign Staci Keanan up for another sitcom. Between this show and My Two Dads we're talking two of the better themes over the last thirty years.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 10

So, after a small delay in getting the true countdown rolling I am proud to present the #10 greatest television theme song of 1990s primetime television.  If you read the comments frequently, you’ll note that Mr. Tickles need not fear the lack of Frederick in the countdown because he’s already claimed the number 10 spot (as well as at least one more).   Frederick devotees will also remember his inclusion with the outstanding Perfect Strangers theme on our prior list, and here we have another similar strong that resonates just as strongly. 

Here it is, “Second Time Around” by Jesse Frederick (& Bennett Salvay) from Step by Step.

100th Post

100^th Post           

To celebrate reaching the century mark for blog posts, I wanted to briefly re-summarize my goals behind this blog.  Primarily, I’m hoping to share with friends and random visitors little snippets of my own life as expressed through the medium of television.  Mainly this site is about nostalgia (even of the immediate variety) where you can hopefully remember the entertainment that you once got from a particular show or rediscover things long thought forgotten. 


Of course, to put this in a much better way than I can say, here’s a clip from Mad Men that better relates the feelings I’m trying to get across.  Don’t worry, no real spoilers in it.

Mad Men ´The Carousel´ from Emilio on Vimeo.

Thanks to all the regular readers I’m aware of (Matt, Scott, Allison, Rene, Ross, and Mr. Tickles) as well as those of you who lurk out there in internet anonymity.  Hopefully the next hundred posts will come as frequently as the previous hundred. There certainly isn’t a lack of media to pull from or memories to recall.

It's Always Sunny Back!

I had briefly forgotten that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was coming back to television tonight (10/9ct on FX).  Thus, instead of starting the actual theme song countdown this afternoon, I wanted to present a few great clips from past Sunny episodes.  Think of it as a smorgasbord of wacky hilarity.  (More clips after the jump).

Your Comedy Moment

For today's "Your Comedy Moment" I wanted to include an entire, bizarre interview that David Letterman did with Joaquin Phoenix circa February 11, 2009.  Though Dave has gotten a little more crotchety in his old age, I wanted to give an example of how quick-witted and humorous he still can be.  Regardless of the validity of Phoenix's condition, Dave handled it quite well.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Honorable Mention Pt. 2

I figured what better hump day surprise then the back end of the Honorable Mention for our Top Ten 90s TV Themes countdown.  We'll have a new Your Comedy Moment later in the day, Number 10 on the countdown tomorrow, and a special 100th post of the blog on Friday.  Watch out world, I'm planning things ahead of time!*
*Note: Wanted to remind all the readers that we're avoiding children's television shows in this category as we'll delve into those at a later date.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Honorable Mention Pt. 1

Due to the overwhelming success of our first television themes countdown, I’ve decided to go back to the well for more public adoration.  This time the focus will be on the decade of prosperity, presidential promiscuity, and productivity – the 1990s.  So, get out your DayGlo t-shirts, strap on some British Knights, and maybe bring some flannel because it may get cold before we’re done.

However, before we can get to the official countdown, I wanted to share with you the first part of the honorable mention, the television themes that – while quite good – were just not good enough to make it on the list.

Figured I'd give a comedy bonanza today.  Three different clips.

Your 09/02/10 Comedy Moment

In honor of today's date and our good friends at Hogs for the Cause here's some unintentional comedy as only the folks at Beverly Hills 90210 can deliver.

Your Comedy Moment(s)

In recognition of O'Brien's announcement earlier today, we're going to feature a few random clips from Late Night with Conan O'Brien.



Hopefully Coco's TBS show will feature delightfully over-the-top elements like "Robots, Bears and Lincolns."


Great work by Carrey.  Always funny no matter how many times I watch it. "Andy Richter" casting is great as well.


FAGERSTROM!!






Good collection of clips. Note Matt Walsh of UCB fame in the first one and former mayor of NYC Ed Koch in the second.

Conan Announces New Show Name

Live Music on TV

Moving away from concerts or performances in front of an audience, a different take on the "Live Music on Television" format can be found on the Sundance channel with their broadcast of the UK Channel 4 station's Live from Abbey Road.  The show eschews traditional music presentation by leaving the band alone with its instruments and a camera to perform their songs in a bare-bones environment which "look like a movie and sound like a record."  I can thank this show for introducing me to a few artists of today that I actually enjoy listening to.


Thus, for your viewing and listening pleasure, here's the 2009 performance by The Black Keys. The three song set includes "I Got Mine," "Here I Am I Always Am," and "Same Old Thing."  More performances from this show will certainly follow in the future.

Childhood Flashback - Rocko's Modern Life

Going to try and put a spin on the constant "Your Comedy Moment" posts and instead start a (ir)regular feature called "Childhood Flashback" where we'll either discuss some past cartoons or post some humorous links dealing with the cartoon in question.

For the first show in this feature, I decided to pick the Nicktoon that I watched most as a kid.  No, not Rugrats or Ren and Stimpy or even Doug, I'm referring to Rocko's Modern Life.  


Note the wacky theme song later performed by a few of the B-52's.


I haven't had the opportunity to revisit the show in recent years, but I must say that what I remember was how off-the-wall crazy the show tended to be while never failing to throw in a life lesson.  Here's an example of the catchy, somewhat subversive songs that littered the series.  The fact that I can still sing both songs from memory is a testament to how entertaining the songs are and how much TV I used to watch.


This first song contains the great "Can't Fight City Hall" and the reprise to "R-E-C-Y-C-L-E."


This would be the more complete, original version of "R-E-C-Y-C-L-E."


Despite the obvious hippie slant, I found this show totally engrossing as a kid. Of course, I think that even though many jokes went over my head entirely; I could still tell that this show was not designed entirely with kid's in mind.  See, for instance, this clip which apparently only aired once:


I'll leave it up to you to decide why this clip never aired again.


Still, I have only fond memories of catching this show after church on Sunday mornings.  It was weird and hilarious and everything a 10 year old kid could want in a cartoon.  If you're interested in re-visiting the show, check out youtube as it appears there are entire episodes available to watch whenever it strikes your fancy.


Live Music on TV coming in a few.

Sorry for the lack of an embedded clip, but here's a great bit from MTV's The State.

iConfess - An Admission of Television Guilt

Everyone has his or her favorite television shows.  Whether its critical darlings llike Mad Men or Breaking Bad, or popular hits like Two and a Half Men or NCIS; these are shows that the average television fan will openly admit to watching.  Then, there is an entire subgenre of television shows that are rarely discussed outside of a whisper.  These are the shows that you watch in secret.  Shows that, for fear of embarrassment, you are too afraid to bring up to your friends.  Yes, I’m referring to the guilty pleasures of television.

In a means of combating this closeted state of television fandom, I thought it appropriate to out myself for watching one show that most certainly falls on the guilt list (no, friends, I’m not talking about the WWE – you all know I am a fan of that already). I’m referring to a little program on Nickelodeon called iCarly. 

This post is a long one so take the jump if you dare.

Before my very long post later today, here's an unintentional comedy moment from that Saturday morning classic, Saved by the Bell.

Sorry for the lack of variety of updates this week; my business has seen an increased workload over the last few weeks and that has kept me from providing the detailed, varied updates I originally strove for. Still, I will make sure to provide something every day and hopefully some more quality updates.

Now, who knows what cartoon this is? Mr. Tickles, I'm wondering if even you remember this gem.

Your Comedy Moment

For our last day of classic "Your Comedy Moment" week, we're going to the pilot episode of The Cosby Show.  Right out of the gate Bill Cosby and company created a memorable, hilarious television program that made an immediate impact on the audience.  The clip below features two separate, but related, scenes that are already etched into the consciousness of regular television watchers like ourselves. Though I know what the punch lines to the jokes are, Cosby's delivery kills me every, single time.

Live Music on the Television

Time to hit the recent nostalgia button for today's "Live Music on the Television" as we journey back to 1997 - when many of the blog's readers were either in or on the cusp of high school.  Bill Clinton was still in the first year of his second term, the Indians and Marlins had yet to secure their World Series appearances, and a band named Jamiroquai was dominating MTV's airwaves with their [still] unique "Virtual Insanity."

Here's the similarly odd and fun performance of "Virtual Insanity" from the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.  The vocals may strain a little bit at times, but that minor issue only adds some character to the show. Hope you enjoy.

Your Comedy Moment

From the classic WKRP in Cincinnati first season episode "Turkeys Away," it's one of the craziest, funniest scenes in 80s sitcom history.  Not too much background is needed except that the manager has decided to have a big Thanksgiving Day promotion for his station that involves a helicopter, a banner, and live turkeys.

Your Comedy Moment

Continuing the classics week for "Your Comedy Moment," here's one of the more memorable clips from the first season of Saturday Night Live.  Less than three minutes long, this sketch truly embodies all the strengths of early SNL.  Risky, racy, and uproariously funny this scene holds up more than thirty-five years after it was conceived. Great facial expressions from Pryor really throw it over the top.

Your Comedy Moment

Following along on the theme of classic sitcom scenes, here's a hilarious scene from Taxi.  No real background is necessary to understand what's going on with the cast; however, it should be noted that Christopher Lloyd is awesome.

Your Comedy Moment

For Monday's "Your Comedy Moment," I always try and find a larger than normal clip to help that day pass a little quicker for all you office dwellers.  Today's feature is no different.

Taken from the iconic I Love Lucy, its the classic Vitameatavegamin bit.  There is a great bit going on in the clip, from the setup prior to Lucille Ball entering the skit to her amazing facial expressions to the not-so-subtle way she plays the effects of the multiple servings of Vitameatavegamin on her.  I was never a huge fan of I Love Lucy, but I really love this scene.

Live Music on the Television

For today's "Live Music on the Television" feature, we're going back to 1971 for two separate, solo performances by Mr. Neil Young.  Featured first is Young playing "Old Man," a song that made it to #31 on the Billboard Hot 100.  This particular concert was done for the BBC and can be found here.

Congrats to the creepy but active Mr. Tickles for winning last week's contest.  He had a $100 donation made in his name to The Human Fund.  Let's see if you can get today's cartoon.  Here's a hint, if you don't know then you probably never watched much TV as a kid.

Your Comedy Moment

With all of the previous “Your Comedy Moments” we’ve presented scenes that are intended to be funny. Today I wanted to show a “dramatic” scene that may be funnier than anything else I’ve posted.  If you’re a fan of The Soup you’ve probably seen it before, but dammit  if you won’t enjoy this scene again. Thank you One Tree Hill for this gem.

Your Comedy Moment

After yesterday’s Apatow-inspired Freaks and Geeks post, I figured I’d follow it up with his follow-up, Undeclared.  Also featuring Seth Rogen, among many others, here’s a humorous scene that really doesn’t need a setup.  Go check out Undeclared if you haven’t seen it before.  It was another great, short-lived show.

Live Music on the Television

From the 1960s on Monday to the 1990s today, here's an awesome performance of "Lithium" by Nirvana.  Of course, if you pay attention at the beginning of the song, Nirvana seemed to throw MTV for a loop by starting to perform "Rape Me."  Quickly, though, the band went to its originally planned song and gave a great show.  

This particular performance may be best remembered not for the song itself but for what happens to bassist Krist Novoselic towards the end it.  Additionally, Dave Grohl has some humorous words for the frontman of Guns N Roses as the destruction of the stage continues behind him.

It remains a reminder of the "anything can happen" vibe that live television coupled with live music can provide.

More Your Comedy Moment

Saw this yesterday for the first time, and I couldn't resist posting it today.  


From the mind of Mary Elizabeth Ellis (who many of you would better recognize as the Waitress from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) is a hilarious parody of a Bravo reality television show.  Featuring a quiet cameo from fellow Always Sunny star (and real-life husband) Charlie Day as well as another celebrity cameo at the end, this video is pitch-perfect in recreating the mindless television teaser that is often found in reality programming.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Your Comedy Moment

Freaks and Geeks was the inspiration behind starting this blog, so why not feature one of the show's funniest moments for today's "Your Comedy Moment."

You'll recognize both Jason Segel and Seth Rogen from their recent success, but when Freaks and Geeks was shot they were relatively unknown.  Playing "freak" friends on the show, Segel (character name Nick Andopolis) and Rogen (Ken Miller) often found themselves playing off one another in the scene.

Here, Nick decided to test a song he had written for the object of his affection Lindsay (played by Linda Cardellini) with Ken first before debuting it for Lindsay.  What follows is a beautifully horrible song that Segel actually wrote for his character.  Enjoy the witty banter that follows after the song itself as well as what happens when Nick decides to play it for Lindsay.
