Sunday Stealing


TV Meme, part one

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. We sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme.
Let's go!!!

From TV Tuesday a now-defunct blog. The link is broken.

TV Meme, part one

1. TV Theme songs. Which is your favorite, and which makes you crazy enough to hit mute on the remote? Since I do watch old TV shows on Netflix, here goes.  I like the theme from "Bones" a lot, and also the one from "Medium".  They are similar so both are favorites equally.  One that makes me crazy is harder but there's one I always mute, and that's "Yes to the Dress".  

2. The Classics. What is your favorite Classic TV show?  I suppose the 70's-80's is classic.  The whole family liked  "Major Dad". We'd turn it on just for that one.


3. What character from a Classic TV show would you like to be? I'd pick Rockford, from "The Rockford Files" - Riv Classic cars with car chases, lots of fun, and fishing, too.  Not to mention living right ON the beach.

4. Can you remember a line you liked from a Classic TV show?  It was a question.  The Major came to visit when the teen doughters were having a slumber party.  The teens were all sitting on the couch or floor watching TV with a green goo on their faces.  They saw him and screamed because NO ONE should see a female with facial goo except another woman.  The girls and their guests all fled, screaming, out of the room and up the stairs but not before he got to loudly query, "Night Recon?"

5. Heroes. What show featuring those who protect your country (fiction or non-fiction) is your favorite?  Firefighters and Army Demolition Experts are my Heroes.  I don't know of any show that features them.

6. TV Cops. Who is your favorite (past or present) TV cop? Which TV cop do you think was the most crooked, or the most inept?  I don't remember watching anything fictional about police.  I am loving the real life Cops in the show "The Shift".  I know that's not fictional, nor is it only one individual, but I love those people.  None of these guys are twisted. 

7. You need to hire a bodyguard for yourself. Which TV cop do you choose?  I'd hire a Marine! 

8. TV Doctors. Which TV doctor would you choose to remove your appendix? Which TV doctor would you not let touch you with a 10- foot pole?  The Lead in Grey's Anatomy.  I don't remember the character's first name.  Ten foot pole, eh?  Let's see, that would probably be Doc Martin.  hehe 

9. TV Moms. Which TV mom would you have liked to have had for your own? Is there a TV mom you would never want as your own? Not one of them who ever they are.  I had a wonderful mother.

10. TV Dads. Which TV Dad would you have most liked to have for your own dad? On the flipside, who was the TV Dad you’d have least liked to have had?  A Dad for my siblings and me? Andy Griffith without any hesitation.  I've already had a criminal for a paternal unit, so I'll pass on the second part, that flipside.  Been there, done that.

11. Comedies. How do you feel about sitcoms? Good, wholesome fun or saccharine inanity?  I think sitcoms are hilarious and BRILLIANT fun.  I could never stand to watch more than two episodes of "Seinfeld", everyone's favorite one it seems like, and absolutely hated "Everyone Loves Raymond" so those are exceptions for me.  I loved Frazier, and that insane Third Rock series as well as Big Bang Theory. 

12. If your life was a sitcom, what would the title be?  "Does Anyone Understand Life?"

13. If you went to a comedy club on amateur night, and they gave you some jokes and a microphone, would you go onstage? As long as I didn't have to ad lib, sure.

14. Reality. Are you a fan of Reality TV? What’s your “can’t miss” reality TV show (or shows), or what reality TV show do you suppose the devil plays on the TV in Hell as punishment?  What does Reality TV mean?  I'm clueless.  If the second part of the question refers to people like the ones in Bridezilla, I'd say that's the TV in Hell punishment that the devil plays.

15. If you were given a free ticket to be on any reality show, which one would you choose?  I don't want free tickets to a show where people humiliate themselves or others.  Is reality something like Dr. Phil?

Now, for the rest of the day, I'm knitting and staying put.  I'm on my best behavior.  DH does not need anymore worry in his life at the moment.  So, have a nice week and I am going to catch up with all the meme'rs and the blogs.  I hope there is time this week to do it.  I cherish you all.  Thank you for reading!

  1. Night recon? Ha ha, oh, that is priceless! We liked that show, too. Haven't thought of it in years.

    1. It was a very funny show wasn't it? Lol And, it did a lot for the Marine Corps morale, too, apparently. I'm glad it did.

  2. We have so many similar answers ... I love Andy Taylor, too, and I thought I was the only one who didn't love Raymond, or Seinfeld.

    1. I think, for me, I don't like chaotic running in and out stuff. And both those shows seemed to have no Peace in them, just Chaos.

      Ah yes, Andy Taylor was a wonderful daddy.
