Hey, guess who TOTES spaced that he agreed to Carpenter sommet out this morning? Watch this, while subbing in Mock Draft with K Hippo!
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is “Favourite TV series (including mini-series but NOT moviefilms) theme music/song.” Wait 30 minutes or 5 picks before you go twice, yada yada.
Batting leadoff, we have this home run:
You won’t beat that, but Other Hippo invites y’all to try. The lovely, judging visage of Brenda Chenowith awaits you.
You knew it was Saturday morning when this came on

Finally a show about a metrosexual, a princess, a lesbian, a stoner, and a talking dog.
“Metro,” yeah, sure Freddie. Whatever you say.
The ascot could mean multiple things.
Only bass line better than “Night Court”.

“The Equalizer” starring Edward Woodward. The tension, fear, and paranoia build, visually and musically, until the cathartic, triumphant release at the reveal of our hero…who was essentially a poor man’s Michael Caine. Good show, though.

If you could harness the energy created by Russell Baker spinning in his grave every time David Brooks or Bret Stephens, or really most of the current NY Times editorial writers, publishes a column you wouldn’t even need the Sun.
Also, Baker’s autobiography, ‘Growing Up’ might be the best autobiography ever.

Late 70s Black-centred TV was killer. I ate that shit up, as a young honky. Here’s my double shot:

And yes. I honestly thought Sopranos would go quick, so this embiggems first round value is with cromulent second round price.
Speaking of 80s run…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQpL5ZLQHyw
As usual, the 1st round pick gets the attention but everyone knows the 2nd rounder is gonna have a longer career.

Number one pick right here
Is it a reach? Maybe. But when you know it’s right, you trust your draft board and pull the trigger.
Night Court.
https://youtu.be/nWwo8Z1EwUw?si=l5T3tX7ZcXz6w9Xb
Solid value, and one presumes the beginning of the “80s Run”
Point of parliamentary procedure: Are we referring to the opening credits or just the song itself?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVN83R-JwRQ&pp=ygUQcGVhY2VtYWtlciBpbnRybw%3D%3D
How the theme song FITS the opening credits/series is a fair factoUr to consider. 100%
There’s really only one choice.
