Listener comments!

	12:04pm βrian: Hey, nice intro.

	12:07pm Duane: Hey Good Afternoon Y'all! Thanx Cecile, I'd love one of them there days off sometime soon.
	12:08pm Cecile: Aren't you living the dream? Work as play? :D
	12:10pm Duane: Cecile: No complaints here:)
	12:13pm pierre: bonjour summer people
	12:31pm hubba: Good morning everyone. From where I'm at... today is going to be better than yesterday!
	12:32pm Cecile: Renee Geyer! I lived in OZ when she was big. Great singer, wished she would have done better here.
	12:32pm Mike East: @hubba - I'm hoping that is true for me as well. So far so good.
	12:33pm T-Zero: I'd never heard of her. That was wonderful.
	12:33pm Daniel: Man, that was a sweet, warm set. Summer going strong.
	12:34pm Cecile: She'd be on shows like Countdown in among Abba and Skyhooks and AC/DC and all that mayhem. Classy singer. Jaye P. Morgan! She was on the Gong show.
	12:34pm Cecile: this was in the mid 70s.
	12:35pm Cecile: i mean Australia. Jaye P. Morgan was all over the damn place in the 70s. She was a game show star.
	12:35pm ?: JP Morgan? wasn't she the Jane Fonda look-alike who was on all the game shows acting sexy?
	12:35pm Duane: Loved Jaye P. on Gong Shopw..and she could belt it out!
	12:37pm Cecile: Yes, ?, she was. And a good singer.
	12:38pm Cecile: I was thinking, as I often do, "why doesn't RuPaul do a homage to the Gong Show on Drag Race? And invite Jaye P. to judge?"
	12:39pm Dead Corporate Eyes: RuPaul is still around? haven't heard that name in years!
	12:40pm hubba: I never understood why the gong show was syndicated... on USA I believe... as a kid I just thought people were mean spirirted. Big bucks no whammy, on the other hand, loved that show.
	12:42pm Cecile: Ru has two shows on Logo now: Drag Race and Drag U. He's also back to making records and they are quite entertaining dance pop.
	12:42pm Duane: Gong Show was an after school fave for me and my sis when USA ran reruns!!
	12:45pm hubba: This is stupid great... chopped Beach Boys Maybe a Gong Show segue every once in a while?
	12:46pm Cecile: I saw it first run. Yes, I'm old. I loved the absurdity. And! Gene, Gene, the Dancing Machine.
	12:47pm hubba: duane, have you played tracks off this comp before? There is a track penned by Neil Young that is on here... do you know who that is/was?
	12:49pm hubba: Cecile, I can't imagine you as "old," but as a worldly teenager, scoffing at, and chain smoking with, the world...
	12:49pm Hooty Sapperticker: Wow, we were just watch GGTDM on YouTube last night.
	12:49pm Dead Corporate Eyes: I used to watch it as a kid, too, with my sister after school. Man...
	12:50pm Cecile: Remember when they wheeled out the coat rack with Gene's hat and coat when he was on vacation?
	12:50pm Daniel: Gene Gene! Amazing shot of him as a double amputee in "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind". Still a dancing machine.
	12:50pm Duane: hubba: Yeah I have. The track you're referring to is "flying on the ground" by Summer Snow. I've played it before on here. Great comp!
	12:51pm Cecile: My only wordliness was vicarious through Rolling Stone and Circus.
	12:54pm Cecile: Wow, this is a great fact about Gene from Wikipedia: Gene was the first African-American member of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, Local 33.
	12:58pm Cecile: I have this Don Covay album. I like Homemade Love, that's a fun mess of a song.
	1:03pm Carmichael: Hi Duane. Just back from meeting. Damn, I missed Bobbie Gentry. Used to have a kid crush on her. And Joey Heatherton.
	1:06pm Duane: Carmichael: Joey Heatherton! I only remember her from an old episode of Laverne & Shirley. She was hot tho!
	1:08pm Cecile: She really did the Vegas/Talk Show/Game Show rounds. I think she was a fringe Ratpacker
	1:10pm Carmichael: She used to hang around with some of the Dallas Cowboys, too. Lance Alworth, as I recall, and maybe Roger Staubach.
	1:11pm Cecile: ha, someone should do a mashup of "Smooth" with "smash">
	1:11pm Cecile: Whoops, I mean Dioubo.
	1:14pm T-Zero: Joey Heatherton I only recall from 70's tv shows.
	1:14pm T-Zero: errr, 60's and 70's.
	1:16pm hubba: Would she be like a Jessica Simpson of today?
	1:17pm hubba: and... what is "the frug?"
	1:17pm Carmichael: Catherine O'Hara based her SCTV character Lola Heatherton on her.
	1:19pm hubba: She posed for Palyboy at the age of 52... from wiki
	1:20pm hubba: and one last piece of info, and i'll get back to work: In 1969, Heatherton married Lance Rentzel, a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys.[1] In November 1970, Rentzel was arrested for exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl.
	1:21pm Parq: Hubba, yeah, I was thinking of that PB shot, too. Pretty impressive. And may I note, belatedly, that Jay P.M. was on "The Odd couple", as Oscar's then-current flame in the "Happy and Peppy and Bursting With Love" episode.
	1:22pm Catherine O'Hara: I DID NOT pose for Playboy.
	1:27pm Parq: @Miss O'Hara: more's the pity.
	1:28pm EXW: wrong speed?
	1:29pm Wild Neil: Funky country! Rock ON, dude!!!!! I love Dolly....
	1:29pm Wild Neil: waka jawaka, waka jawaka waka jawaka....
	1:29pm Duane: EXW: No, Kelle's voice is pretty high:)
	1:30pm T-Zero: hubba: http://tinyurl.com/42p4vz9 The Frug
	1:30pm Crow Magnumb: Fantastic cover. our uke band does this song, but not this good. damn.
	1:30pm EXW: crazy :-)
	1:35pm T-Zero: hubba: skip it forward to about 0:58
	1:38pm hubba: @T-Zero... I can't! I'll have to wait till I get home... they won't let me play at work. Thank you!
	1:38pm Wild Neil: COOL, I didn't know Duane would play this jangly stuff (woolen kits)
	1:40pm chris: I'm totally flashing back to being a latch key kid.. Eatin' cookies and watching afternoon repeats... wow.
	1:42pm T-Zero: hubba, in that case, note this link instead. It's a better example. The first one is a mix of Sweet Charity rehearsals and execution, the latter is just the application http://tinyurl.com/3r63fsx
	1:56pm hubba: @T-Zero - noted! I can't wait!
	1:59pm T-Zero: If you search wikipedia for "The Frug" it will give you some background and references such as the line in Rock Lobster. The frug is actually 3 dances combined. (The links were for you tube shots of Sweet Charity where they do the frug) Pronounced froog btw.
	2:02pm Nathan: This track has all the glitter I like in a great disco track. Nice breakdown.
	2:04pm T-Zero: What was that variety/comedy show in the early 70s with the two brothers? (in the US)
	2:05pm hubba: Streets of San Francisco
	2:05pm Wild Neil: Barney Miller covered by REM?
	2:06pm Parq: TZ, the Smothers Brothers were the late 60s -- is that what you mean?
	2:06pm chris: Starsky and Hutch
	2:06pm Wild Neil: The Smothers Brothers?
	2:06pm hubba: Smothers Brothers?
	2:06pm Frank: Request: Theme from SWAT!!
	2:06pm Cecile: That Girl.
	2:07pm T-Zero: Yeah! That's it. Thank you. I couldn't think of it. Anyway, the reason I was trying to think of it, is they used to do the Frug on that show with the dancers quite a bit.
	2:07pm chris: SWAT... great one!
	2:07pm Detroit Mac: How about The Avengers?
	2:08pm disastrogirl: I would love to hear the theme for the British show, UFO. It rocks. The closing music is good too, in a very different way. Also, I just read that the original theme song for Six Million $ Man was sung by Dusty Springfield. I would love to hear that.
	2:08pm Cecile: gotta grab lunch. Later!
	2:08pm DrTeeth: The Streetbeater!
	2:08pm still b/p: The Name of the Game.
	2:09pm Jenniqua: Baretta or the Rockford Files
	2:10pm hubba: Yeah! Cars flying over hills! sparks fly!
	2:10pm Wild Neil: UFO with scantily clad brit girls and ultra funky music....please please please yes, that one, is SO good, you WILL like it!!!!!!! Rockford ROCKS also....
	2:10pm T-Zero: I don't remember the theme for The Mod Squad
	2:11pm disastrogirl: I also like Mission Impossible: and Big Valley.
	2:12pm DrTeeth: Gotta do the full funky 3-minute version, tho'...
	2:12pm fcunmys: And My Mother The Car!
	2:13pm hubba: Hardcastle and McCormick...
	2:13pm Parq: Re Smothers Brothers and their times, dig Listener Kliph from the blog last winter: http://tinyurl.com/lismosnix
	2:13pm fcunmys: Mr. T & Tina!
	2:14pm hubba: well then... Quincy!
	2:14pm Jenniqua: Odd Couple! Love it!!
	2:14pm Wild Neil: Odd Couple Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:14pm Matt: Great American Hero?
	2:15pm fcunmys: The Man From Atlantis!
	2:15pm Jenniqua: Didn't realize there were lyrics to it. Kinda like when I found out when MASH had lyrics. These lyrics are better than the MASH ones though.
	2:15pm T-Zero: @ Parq: Oh! Laugh-In, that was the one I was seeing in my mind. I'd conflated the two into one show.
	2:16pm MD: OH no!!!! lyrics!!!!!!!!!! GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:16pm disastrogirl: I didn't know there were words for Odd Couple.
	2:16pm Frank: What about the Hawaii 5-0 theme sung by Sammy Davis Jr ("You Can Count on Me")
	2:17pm Wild Neil: There was a more electric guitar-y UFO them also , right? Beginning rock, the end Jazzy like this??
	2:17pm Droll: I didn't know the Odd Couple Theme had lyrics... I wonder if there's a way to unknow it now that I've heard them. Mission Impossible theme is a classic Lalo Shaffrin jam.
	2:18pm still b/p: Don't know who the lyricist was for that unexpected Odd Couple vocal, but he or she was no Johnny Mercer...yeeesh.
	2:18pm Gerry from Brantford: Electric Company. We gonna bring you the power!
	2:21pm Droll: How can we forget the Inestimable Quincy Jones: Sanford and Son theme
	2:21pm caver_mike: I suggest "Stairway to Gilligan's Island. It is on a DJ premium from a few years back.
	2:21pm T-Zero: @Duane: It Takes A Thief (60's not the remake)
	2:21pm hubba: ...and then a Gong Show reprise!
	2:22pm still b/p: How about Medical Center or Marcus Welby, MD?
	2:22pm chris: wtf was Robbi, Tobbi and Das Fliewatuut? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358872/
	2:22pm DrTeeth: Droll, I said that a while ago. It's called The Streetbeater. The full version is FAR funkier than the TV edit.
	2:22pm Wild Neil: Most Impressive, Duane!
	2:22pm Jenniqua: @carver_mike - check this out http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6hDZt1e0ofY/SXAWq5tFH3I/AAAAAAAADDE/PBa7dVLmWvs/s400/ufo+moonbase+gilligan.JPG
	2:22pm weiterso: klick, klick, klasse!
	2:23pm hubba: Gnarly!
	2:23pm still b/p: You could frug to this!
	2:23pm DrTeeth: Holy cow.
	2:23pm Carmichael: Sammy also sang the Baretta theme song. And a funky Alka Seltzer commercial (plop plop, fizz fizz ...)
	2:24pm T-Zero: lol, still b/p
	2:24pm hubba: oh man... I've gotta go. This est rad! Thanks Duane!
	2:24pm Jenniqua: Whoa boy. You are WARPING MY MIND WITH THESE LYRICS. Next yer gonna tell me that Kaey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy on Scooby Do.
	2:25pm Parq: The Sammy-5-0 is a semi regular Music To Spazz By Favorite -- always welcome. May I be so bold as to suggest the Nutley Brass take on Lalo, "Chicken Impossible".
	2:26pm Jenniqua: In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy
	2:26pm Parq: Jenn, here's another for you -- the voice of Freddie on Scoob was also nearly all of the animals in all of the Disney movies from "Beauty" on.
	2:28pm Jenniqua: Patrick Duffy with webbed hands swimming through the water! I tried to swim like him in our above ground pool.
	2:28pm still b/p: If you want to hit Sunday night: The FBI or NBC Mystery Movie.
	2:28pm Wild Neil: It was like waterworld, kinda except he was a modern superhero...David McCallum I think was the Man From Atlantis, unless he was the invisible man..or something, who cares, it was the 70' s TV wasteland of crap...
	2:29pm Fact Master 23,000: Man From Atlantis was the first American TV series to be shown in the People's Republic of China in 1980, with the title translated to "The Man from the Bottom of Atlantic".[
	2:29pm T-Zero: Oh. The Mod Squad was composed by the same guy who did the Andy Griffith Show.
	2:29pm Jenniqua: @Parq - that does not disturb me as much as when I learned that Kasey Kasem was Shaggy. The twain shall not meet in my mind. They are just polar opposites in my book.
	2:30pm CBradio: The bloodhound gand themesong is my favorito
	2:32pm Gary Gnu: The Great Space Coaster
	2:32pm Frank: I was a dead ringer for "Miguel" from the Bloodhound Gang back in the day...
	2:33pm Jenniqua: Gary Gnu, where no gnews is good gnews. The only tv program guaranteed to contain NO gnews what-so-ever!
	2:34pm Parq: Jenn, Kasey voiced a bunch of Hanna Barbara sat morning toons in those days, as did Ted Knight of "Mary Tyler Moore" -- always wanted to ask Kasey if he had any inkling at the time that Scooby was going to break out of the pack.
	2:35pm Mike: For TV theme songs, how about Invaders and The Name of the Game?
	2:36pm Jenniqua: Hey Duane, not sure if you were aware of this "Odd Couple Sings" link on Beware of the Blog. I downloaded all the songs. You're So Vain is by far my favorite. http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/03/365_days_74_ton.html
	2:38pm Jenniqua: Parq, yeah I finally figured out that Kasey was Robin from Superfriends. Then realized he was on lots of shows. Thankfully this was after the fact. I took cartoons WAY too seriously as a kid. That woulda killed me.
	2:42pm still b/p: Mike - I suggested Name of the Game earlier, though I couldn't recall what it sounded like. Checked it on YouTube and it instantly hit a familiar button. If Duane could find the Time Tunnel, or Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, or Land of the Giants themes, he would be the Great DJ Superhero.
	2:43pm jw: banana splits theme?
	2:45pm Bruceleh: GIGANTOR!
	2:46pm Jenniqua: Didn't the Dickies do a cover of the Banana Splits song? And Gigantor?
	2:48pm Hooty Sapperticker: They certainly did.
	2:48pm Jenniqua: OH MY GOD. I remember this show. Angie was a waitress who married a millionaire. Whoa.
	2:49pm T-Zero: I don't remember that at all, but the song made me think of The Love Boat.
	2:50pm Bill W: continuing w/ Mike Post themes... The Rockford Files
	2:56pm cbradio: theme song to the prisoner?
	2:56pm Jenniqua: Poor Freddie Prinze. That's all I think when I hear this song.
	2:56pm T-Zero: The Mod Squad was Earle Hagen
	2:58pm kata: yes the prisoner theme is so good!
	2:59pm T-Zero: This show certainly took off with a life of its own. lol Thanks Duane.
	3:00pm Duane: you guys rule!! thanks for a fun one today
	3:00pm still b/p: Good to the last fading center-screen dot.

	1:03pm Carmichael: Hi Duane. Just back from meeting. Damn, I missed Bobbie Gentry. Used to have a kid crush on her. And Joey Heatherton.
	1:06pm Duane: Carmichael: Joey Heatherton! I only remember her from an old episode of Laverne & Shirley. She was hot tho!
	1:08pm Cecile: She really did the Vegas/Talk Show/Game Show rounds. I think she was a fringe Ratpacker
	1:10pm Carmichael: She used to hang around with some of the Dallas Cowboys, too. Lance Alworth, as I recall, and maybe Roger Staubach.
	1:11pm Cecile: ha, someone should do a mashup of "Smooth" with "smash">
	1:11pm Cecile: Whoops, I mean Dioubo.
	1:14pm T-Zero: Joey Heatherton I only recall from 70's tv shows.
	1:14pm T-Zero: errr, 60's and 70's.
	1:16pm hubba: Would she be like a Jessica Simpson of today?
	1:17pm hubba: and... what is "the frug?"
	1:17pm Carmichael: Catherine O'Hara based her SCTV character Lola Heatherton on her.
	1:19pm hubba: She posed for Palyboy at the age of 52... from wiki
	1:20pm hubba: and one last piece of info, and i'll get back to work: In 1969, Heatherton married Lance Rentzel, a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys.[1] In November 1970, Rentzel was arrested for exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl.
	1:21pm Parq: Hubba, yeah, I was thinking of that PB shot, too. Pretty impressive. And may I note, belatedly, that Jay P.M. was on "The Odd couple", as Oscar's then-current flame in the "Happy and Peppy and Bursting With Love" episode.
	1:22pm Catherine O'Hara: I DID NOT pose for Playboy.
	1:27pm Parq: @Miss O'Hara: more's the pity.
	1:28pm EXW: wrong speed?
	1:29pm Wild Neil: Funky country! Rock ON, dude!!!!! I love Dolly....
	1:29pm Wild Neil: waka jawaka, waka jawaka waka jawaka....
	1:29pm Duane: EXW: No, Kelle's voice is pretty high:)
	1:30pm T-Zero: hubba: http://tinyurl.com/42p4vz9 The Frug
	1:30pm Crow Magnumb: Fantastic cover. our uke band does this song, but not this good. damn.
	1:30pm EXW: crazy :-)
	1:35pm T-Zero: hubba: skip it forward to about 0:58
	1:38pm hubba: @T-Zero... I can't! I'll have to wait till I get home... they won't let me play at work. Thank you!
	1:38pm Wild Neil: COOL, I didn't know Duane would play this jangly stuff (woolen kits)
	1:40pm chris: I'm totally flashing back to being a latch key kid.. Eatin' cookies and watching afternoon repeats... wow.
	1:42pm T-Zero: hubba, in that case, note this link instead. It's a better example. The first one is a mix of Sweet Charity rehearsals and execution, the latter is just the application http://tinyurl.com/3r63fsx
	1:56pm hubba: @T-Zero - noted! I can't wait!
	1:59pm T-Zero: If you search wikipedia for "The Frug" it will give you some background and references such as the line in Rock Lobster. The frug is actually 3 dances combined. (The links were for you tube shots of Sweet Charity where they do the frug) Pronounced froog btw.
	2:02pm Nathan: This track has all the glitter I like in a great disco track. Nice breakdown.
	2:04pm T-Zero: What was that variety/comedy show in the early 70s with the two brothers? (in the US)
	2:05pm hubba: Streets of San Francisco
	2:05pm Wild Neil: Barney Miller covered by REM?
	2:06pm Parq: TZ, the Smothers Brothers were the late 60s -- is that what you mean?
	2:06pm chris: Starsky and Hutch
	2:06pm Wild Neil: The Smothers Brothers?
	2:06pm hubba: Smothers Brothers?
	2:06pm Frank: Request: Theme from SWAT!!
	2:06pm Cecile: That Girl.
	2:07pm T-Zero: Yeah! That's it. Thank you. I couldn't think of it. Anyway, the reason I was trying to think of it, is they used to do the Frug on that show with the dancers quite a bit.
	2:07pm chris: SWAT... great one!
	2:07pm Detroit Mac: How about The Avengers?
	2:08pm disastrogirl: I would love to hear the theme for the British show, UFO. It rocks. The closing music is good too, in a very different way. Also, I just read that the original theme song for Six Million $ Man was sung by Dusty Springfield. I would love to hear that.
	2:08pm Cecile: gotta grab lunch. Later!
	2:08pm DrTeeth: The Streetbeater!
	2:08pm still b/p: The Name of the Game.
	2:09pm Jenniqua: Baretta or the Rockford Files
	2:10pm hubba: Yeah! Cars flying over hills! sparks fly!
	2:10pm Wild Neil: UFO with scantily clad brit girls and ultra funky music....please please please yes, that one, is SO good, you WILL like it!!!!!!! Rockford ROCKS also....
	2:10pm T-Zero: I don't remember the theme for The Mod Squad
	2:11pm disastrogirl: I also like Mission Impossible: and Big Valley.
	2:12pm DrTeeth: Gotta do the full funky 3-minute version, tho'...
	2:12pm fcunmys: And My Mother The Car!
	2:13pm hubba: Hardcastle and McCormick...
	2:13pm Parq: Re Smothers Brothers and their times, dig Listener Kliph from the blog last winter: http://tinyurl.com/lismosnix
	2:13pm fcunmys: Mr. T & Tina!
	2:14pm hubba: well then... Quincy!
	2:14pm Jenniqua: Odd Couple! Love it!!
	2:14pm Wild Neil: Odd Couple Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:14pm Matt: Great American Hero?
	2:15pm fcunmys: The Man From Atlantis!
	2:15pm Jenniqua: Didn't realize there were lyrics to it. Kinda like when I found out when MASH had lyrics. These lyrics are better than the MASH ones though.
	2:15pm T-Zero: @ Parq: Oh! Laugh-In, that was the one I was seeing in my mind. I'd conflated the two into one show.
	2:16pm MD: OH no!!!! lyrics!!!!!!!!!! GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:16pm disastrogirl: I didn't know there were words for Odd Couple.
	2:16pm Frank: What about the Hawaii 5-0 theme sung by Sammy Davis Jr ("You Can Count on Me")
	2:17pm Wild Neil: There was a more electric guitar-y UFO them also , right? Beginning rock, the end Jazzy like this??
	2:17pm Droll: I didn't know the Odd Couple Theme had lyrics... I wonder if there's a way to unknow it now that I've heard them. Mission Impossible theme is a classic Lalo Shaffrin jam.
	2:18pm still b/p: Don't know who the lyricist was for that unexpected Odd Couple vocal, but he or she was no Johnny Mercer...yeeesh.
	2:18pm Gerry from Brantford: Electric Company. We gonna bring you the power!
	2:21pm Droll: How can we forget the Inestimable Quincy Jones: Sanford and Son theme
	2:21pm caver_mike: I suggest "Stairway to Gilligan's Island. It is on a DJ premium from a few years back.
	2:21pm T-Zero: @Duane: It Takes A Thief (60's not the remake)
	2:21pm hubba: ...and then a Gong Show reprise!
	2:22pm still b/p: How about Medical Center or Marcus Welby, MD?
	2:22pm chris: wtf was Robbi, Tobbi and Das Fliewatuut? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358872/
	2:22pm DrTeeth: Droll, I said that a while ago. It's called The Streetbeater. The full version is FAR funkier than the TV edit.
	2:22pm Wild Neil: Most Impressive, Duane!
	2:22pm Jenniqua: @carver_mike - check this out http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6hDZt1e0ofY/SXAWq5tFH3I/AAAAAAAADDE/PBa7dVLmWvs/s400/ufo+moonbase+gilligan.JPG
	2:22pm weiterso: klick, klick, klasse!
	2:23pm hubba: Gnarly!
	2:23pm still b/p: You could frug to this!
	2:23pm DrTeeth: Holy cow.
	2:23pm Carmichael: Sammy also sang the Baretta theme song. And a funky Alka Seltzer commercial (plop plop, fizz fizz ...)
	2:24pm T-Zero: lol, still b/p
	2:24pm hubba: oh man... I've gotta go. This est rad! Thanks Duane!
	2:24pm Jenniqua: Whoa boy. You are WARPING MY MIND WITH THESE LYRICS. Next yer gonna tell me that Kaey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy on Scooby Do.
	2:25pm Parq: The Sammy-5-0 is a semi regular Music To Spazz By Favorite -- always welcome. May I be so bold as to suggest the Nutley Brass take on Lalo, "Chicken Impossible".
	2:26pm Jenniqua: In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy
	2:26pm Parq: Jenn, here's another for you -- the voice of Freddie on Scoob was also nearly all of the animals in all of the Disney movies from "Beauty" on.
	2:28pm Jenniqua: Patrick Duffy with webbed hands swimming through the water! I tried to swim like him in our above ground pool.
	2:28pm still b/p: If you want to hit Sunday night: The FBI or NBC Mystery Movie.
	2:28pm Wild Neil: It was like waterworld, kinda except he was a modern superhero...David McCallum I think was the Man From Atlantis, unless he was the invisible man..or something, who cares, it was the 70' s TV wasteland of crap...
	2:29pm Fact Master 23,000: Man From Atlantis was the first American TV series to be shown in the People's Republic of China in 1980, with the title translated to "The Man from the Bottom of Atlantic".[
	2:29pm T-Zero: Oh. The Mod Squad was composed by the same guy who did the Andy Griffith Show.
	2:29pm Jenniqua: @Parq - that does not disturb me as much as when I learned that Kasey Kasem was Shaggy. The twain shall not meet in my mind. They are just polar opposites in my book.
	2:30pm CBradio: The bloodhound gand themesong is my favorito
	2:32pm Gary Gnu: The Great Space Coaster
	2:32pm Frank: I was a dead ringer for "Miguel" from the Bloodhound Gang back in the day...
	2:33pm Jenniqua: Gary Gnu, where no gnews is good gnews. The only tv program guaranteed to contain NO gnews what-so-ever!
	2:34pm Parq: Jenn, Kasey voiced a bunch of Hanna Barbara sat morning toons in those days, as did Ted Knight of "Mary Tyler Moore" -- always wanted to ask Kasey if he had any inkling at the time that Scooby was going to break out of the pack.
	2:35pm Mike: For TV theme songs, how about Invaders and The Name of the Game?
	2:36pm Jenniqua: Hey Duane, not sure if you were aware of this "Odd Couple Sings" link on Beware of the Blog. I downloaded all the songs. You're So Vain is by far my favorite. http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/03/365_days_74_ton.html
	2:38pm Jenniqua: Parq, yeah I finally figured out that Kasey was Robin from Superfriends. Then realized he was on lots of shows. Thankfully this was after the fact. I took cartoons WAY too seriously as a kid. That woulda killed me.
	2:42pm still b/p: Mike - I suggested Name of the Game earlier, though I couldn't recall what it sounded like. Checked it on YouTube and it instantly hit a familiar button. If Duane could find the Time Tunnel, or Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, or Land of the Giants themes, he would be the Great DJ Superhero.
	2:43pm jw: banana splits theme?
	2:45pm Bruceleh: GIGANTOR!
	2:46pm Jenniqua: Didn't the Dickies do a cover of the Banana Splits song? And Gigantor?
	2:48pm Hooty Sapperticker: They certainly did.
	2:48pm Jenniqua: OH MY GOD. I remember this show. Angie was a waitress who married a millionaire. Whoa.
	2:49pm T-Zero: I don't remember that at all, but the song made me think of The Love Boat.
	2:50pm Bill W: continuing w/ Mike Post themes... The Rockford Files
	2:56pm cbradio: theme song to the prisoner?
	2:56pm Jenniqua: Poor Freddie Prinze. That's all I think when I hear this song.
	2:56pm T-Zero: The Mod Squad was Earle Hagen
	2:58pm kata: yes the prisoner theme is so good!
	2:59pm T-Zero: This show certainly took off with a life of its own. lol Thanks Duane.
	3:00pm Duane: you guys rule!! thanks for a fun one today
	3:00pm still b/p: Good to the last fading center-screen dot.
