I don't think I ever saw the signoff. But I saw the signon on Saturday morning many times. |

My vintage smilers
But I could list so many. I'm a theme tune groupie, and Saturday morning kid's TV always seemed to have the best. During Ant & Dec (& Cat's) heyday on SM:TV live I would sit up in bed from 09.05, topping up my alcohol content on whatever was leftover from the night before, singing along to just about anything. From The Chums theme tune and Mr Postman (in show themes) to the real intros inc Clarissa the Teenage Witch, Pokemon and half the adverts in between. Oh, I have to include Tiny Planets. When I was in the worst pit of my depression, it was my only source of comfort. Even if it did make me cry. I can't find the original credits, but if I close my eyes, the music is right. Oh gosh. Now I'm going to have to mention Bagpuss aren't I? Bagpuss dear Bagpuss, oh fat furry catpuss Wake up and see the things that I bring Wake up be bright, be golden and light Oh Bagpuss please hear what I sing That's from memory, and probably wrong in places. When other people have posted, I will include the opening titles. What pleasure. What anticipation. Oliver Posthwaite's mellifluous tones. I know a whole generation of girls who longed to be Emily. Tellingly, not my sister, who thought the shop must be very dirty... |

Aheh. Not quite.
I remember the test card though. They'd have gaps in the programming. And fill them with the testcard and some godawful music: Here's a closedown: |
Excellent choices all round.
here's one of my favorites. been posted elsewhere ages ago, but seems appropriate here :) And this is one from a little known but totally awesome comedy set in Roman britain: @ Sundae: you'll like this, it has Rory McGrath dressed as a barbarian chief :P |
Ooh, Dangermouse! I love Dangermouse! I bought the DVD set when it was released in the US.
I only know the creepy test card girl from Life on Mars. |
That little cow and her creepy toys haunted my dreams as a kid.

Here's another classic:
|
I have probably only seen one or two shows, but I always really dug the opening theme song...
|
Never watched Sopranos. I seem to only be able to manage one HBO show at a time. I was watching Oz, and was resentful of The Sopranos stealing Edie Falco, who was my favorite guard.

Dexter
Sherlock - this is the only live video I've ever seen using that focus shifting technique where everything is made to look like a toy model. |
