No, this isn’t a repeat. This isn’t theme songs. It’s theme music. No words allowed this week! Ok, maybe one word allowed.

I didn’t really have the time to do my usual thorough research on this topic like I normally do, so here’s an off the top of my head list of series that when I watch always make me think “Oh wow, this totally came out in the 90’s!

Many times producers will try to spin off their breakout star into their own series to milk that cash cow a little bit. Many times it doesn’t work, and you end up with The Tortellis, Golden Palace, Three’s A Crowd, Vinnie and Bobby, or Joey (Man, Matt LeBlanc was lucky he got Friends, wasn’t he?).

Everybody needs some role models, someone to look up to. Someone who does heroic deeds selflessly for the good of others. Making the tough choices that no one else can for the greater good.
