To day we give you not one, but two instalments of "While we wait for The Old Republic". This time we will look at what Star Wars would look like if it was a 80'ies low budget TV show.
Dallas opening What the Star Wars would look like if it was the Dallas TV-series
Airwolf Rebels opening Airwolf theme. Good series, godd intro, good music. The Imperial version is next.. so enjoy!
Airwolf Imperial opening Well.. since I've done Rebels, I had to do the Imperial side as well. Here it is, with a little twist in the cast, sort of ran out of bad guys ;)
Macgyver opening This time it's Macgyver that gets to be Star Wars.
A-Team opening I'll guess there will be a lot of discussions about which characters that should be in the opening - theese where my chioces.
all through 2009, the simpsons have been celebrating an amazing run of 20 years on tv. as the party winds down, here’s a look at some of the amazing (and often surprising) musical guests that the show has lined up through two decades of hilarity.
landing musical guests like yo la tengo, sonic youth, and smashing pumpkins (at their peak) is no small feat. neither is an uncredited guest spot by none other than michael jackson. but the top spot goes to a true legend who you’d never expect on this show. although he didn’t provide music, the episode where a johnny cash-voiced coyote takes homer simpson on a hallucinogenic journey to find his soul mate is truly one of the most amazing moments in animated television.
now… can you remember all the others?
fox is famously stringent with keeping user-submitted clips of the show off youtube and other online sites, but has they’ve placed a sizeable selection of snippets on hulu. if you get anxious for more (or need a can’t-miss present for someone), amazon’s got the hookup.
hecklerspray.com — There’s nothing like a trip down memory lane to get those endorphins pumping – so let’s wander idly along, humming the tunes that preceded our infant distractions, recalling with a grin that the opening titles were very often far more enjoyable than the tripe that followed.
As a child of the 80s, I grew up with slap bracelets, pogo balls, and of course, the Nintendo Entertainment System. Still, nothing kept my little heart ticking like cartoons. I’m not too familiar with what’s popular now as far as cartoons go (Dora the Explorer?), but watching 1980s cartoons was the closest my pre-pubescent self got to an orgasm. Aside from the slick animation and great stories, it was the theme songs that made cartoons so enjoyable. Here are, in my opinion, the 10 best cartoon theme songs from the 1980s. These aren’t in any particular order, but I’m sure some moron will comment that [insert 80s cartoon here] should be #1.
1. The Smurfs
My girlfriend likes this song so much that she insists I play it whenever we smurf.
2. Inspector Gadget
Wowsers! I can hardly type this sentence right now because I can’t sit still to this song. If the DJ played this at a club, I’d dash over to the first girl I saw and ask her to dance, and with a little luck, inspect her gadget. I’ve still never seen one in real life. *tear*
3. Ducktales
“Life is like a hurricane.” This theme is one that everyone knows, and the tune is irresistibly catchy. It’s the Herpes Simplex of cartoon theme songs.
4. Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers
It’s not nearly as catchy as the Ducktales theme, but the theme to Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers is pretty friggin good. Plus Gadget is a total babe.
5. Alvin & The Chipmunks
From one set of chipmunks to another, this theme is terrific. I love Alvin spelling out C-H-I-P-M-U-N-K in this song, blazing a trail for future emcees like Snoop D-O-double-G, U-S-H-E-R-R-A-Y-M-O-N-D, and countless others.
6. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Kick. Ass. It’s impressive enough to create a jingle consisting of “teenage mutant ninja turtles” that doesn’t suck, but this theme song is actually really good. I especially like the like the line, “Donatello does machines.” Is that a reference to the Sybian? Do you know what I’m talking about? No? Prude.
7. Muppet Babies
What’s long and green and smells like Miss Piggy?
Kermit’s finger.
8. Jem
If I could have sex with one song, it’d be the theme song to Jem, and the part where the Misfits sing is where I’d stick my penis.
9. Gummi Bears
Honestly, this may be the greatest cartoon theme song of all time. If I knew this song would be played at my funeral, I’d die with a smile on my face.
10. M.A.S.K.
No, not the movie with Cher and the deformed kid, silly.

All you art collectors out there. Here is a chance to get a Giclee copy of some of Ian M Sherwin work. Ian is planning on doing a whole series of Marblehead, Massachusetts paintings. His work is amazing.
