Damn it! I forgot The Flintstones. Not much of a Jetson's fan.
I must say that I loved Sesame Street too. The Green Giant and Mr. Dress-up were big when I was a wee lad too (CBC children's shows).

Thay are so talented. I watched Hugh Laurie in the American series House. He was really good but I couldn't stop thinking of him as Bertie Wooster!

This site is awesome.  It's amazing how many silly theme songs a brain can retain.  They just don't write 'em as catchy as they used to.
