            I watched a film called The Big Chill and heard The Stones sing a song called You Can't Always Get What You Want fell in love with the Stones that day in 83 as well as the movie,[but if you try sometimes you'll get what you need] modeled my life on that one

              Kevin Costner was supposed to star in the 1983 classic The Big Chill, but his lost scenes have become a part of movie lore in the years since its release, heard about but never seen. They shot a whole lot of ‘flashback’ scenes staring KC as Alex the suicide victim, then they would cut back to the film. The director decided to cut the flashbacks and KC was never seen in the movie. As consolation they made sure that he starred in Silverado.

              The film soundtrack was released as a CD. Ten of the songs from the film were released on the soundtrack album; four additional songs not from the film were added tothe original CD release as "additional classics from the era".

                              TV shows, especially US ones, went through a phase of not having proper intros, just a two second blast of noise with the title shown. Thankfully that seems to be fading and intros are returning, although the "song" choices are often horrendous. 🙁 Of course, these days the "intro" is often stupidly 10-15 minutes after the show has started!

                                  Laverne and Shirley was a Happy Days spin-off. They should have made a spin-off with Lenny and Squiggy.

                                  Happy Days had six spin-off shows, although some lasted longer than others: Laverne & Shirley, Blanksy's Beauties, Mork & Mindy, Out of the Blue, The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, Joanie Loves Chachi. There was also a pilot episode made for a Lenny & Squiggy spin-off (with the two characters in the army), but the full show was never made. The actor says it was well received by the test audience, but others say it was awful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsXgjMPLIlI

                                  Technically there were two "Laverne & Shirley" shows - one live-action and one animated (with the two girls in the army, like the proposed Lenny and Squiggy series).

                                In the 70s and 80s , growing up, the tv shows had catchy tunes. Like the Brady Bunch. Gilligan's Island , Bewitched. Charlies Angels, the Jeffersons, even Fantasy Island. Everyone watched the same channels because we didnt have much options back then. We occasionally play...whats that Show, and see who knows the most intro shows of the past, lol.

                                    yep, my favs as well. I like DC because his depiction of Bond was almost blue collar and believable. SC just got the whole thing off to a good start.

                                  For some strange reason I still remember lyrics from old TV shows like Gilligan's Island, the Beverly Hillbillies etc. (Yes, I go that far back). My favorite TV theme was for the original Hawaii Five-O. Still keeps popping into my head occasionally.
