Members DaytimeFan Posted December 26, 2017 Members Share Posted December 26, 2017  For the geniuses of that genre of television (Aaron Spelling, Sidney Sheldon, Judith and Steve Krantz and, of course, Jackie Collins) I hope they knew what their shows meant to you and others who share your story - I think it's incredibly touching. I think Aaron Spelling did, which is why he revered his audience so greatly, and Jackie Collins did which is why she kept writing.  Agreed about It's Hard to be Tender - it really is a sad, beautiful song. I think it captured that mini-series really well. It also captured a certain essence of Joan. Joan demonstrated that she could produce a highly successful piece of commercial television with that mini-series - it looked first class with all the location shooting and the Valentino wardrobe. I've wondered how Carly came to write the theme for the mini-series, the only connection she and Joan have is they both dated Warren Beatty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted December 26, 2017 Members Share Posted December 26, 2017 Beautiful music from a BBC adaptation of C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia" from the 1980s. Please register in order to view this content  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 18, 2018 Members Share Posted January 18, 2018 Does anyone else remember the 1993 sitcom Phenom? All these years later, I still vividly remember the theme song "The Promise and the Prize", written and performed by Carly Simon:  Please register in order to view this content   0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 31, 2018 Members Share Posted January 31, 2018 I loved that show, watched every week. Judith and William had great chemistry and I seem to remember the young female lead being quite good (as was her neurotic balding brother). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 31, 2018 Members Share Posted January 31, 2018 So did I. I was so disappointed when it was cancelled after only one season. Same with Steve Harvey's Me & The Boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wendy Posted February 9, 2018 Members Share Posted February 9, 2018 Loved this show as a 10-year-old. Still do. And loved the theme! (Done by the late, great Henry Mancini.) Young Pierce Brosnan...rowr!  Please register in order to view this content  This theme, called Laura's Theme, was also by Henry Mancini and was the song used in the S1 intro for "Remington Steele":   0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juppiter Posted February 28, 2018 Members Share Posted February 28, 2018 The 90s X-Men cartoon was my favorite X-Men adaptation, not just for its catchy and dramatic theme song.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sAkL2-vh2Sk  And the Japanese version of the same:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2rSw4Xl5qfs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 28, 2018 Members Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) I don’t know if anyone watches the Japanese show Terrace House on Netflix, but they have my favorite reality-show opening credits outside of the Real Housewives.  Please register in order to view this content    Edited February 28, 2018 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted September 30, 2018 Members Share Posted September 30, 2018 Please register in order to view this content Please register in order to view this content  This show is a textbook example of a show that ran waaay too long (372 episodes, 1992-2010). The first years were fantastic, but then, after the death of leading lady Kate (Niamh Cusack) the show began a slow but relentless decline. The last few years it had deteriorated into almost a caricature of itself. All the grittiness and realism of the first years were gone. But I will always treasure those first years as some of the best on television. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 30, 2018 Members Share Posted September 30, 2018  It probably could have run longer but ITV was on a mission to kill off their long-running shows at this time (The Bill, Heartbeat, Wild at Heart, The Royal). I know some stopped watching after Nick Berry left. It was also another of those shows that never left one decade, wasn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
