The Top Ten TV Theme Songs, 1980 through 2011

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 30, 2011

Kids growing up today have absolutely no idea what a true TV theme song is.

Now, they turn on any of the CSI shows and get a song from The Who. They turn on Law & Order and get a “bum-bummmmm”. They turn on Survivor and, depending on the intricacies of the episode plotline may either get the long-form, short-form, or some variation in-between of the show’s intro.

Web Watch was having lunch the other day with a group of people that included a woman who had recently moved to the United States after having grown up in a number of foreign countries.

How to Open a Financially Successful Coffee, Espresso & Tea Shop

Ah, coffee.

For some, the smell of coffee is the equivalent of a new morning, a fresh day ahead.

Starbucks and other gourmet coffee shops have brainwashed the world into believing a $4 cup of coffee is superior to anything that you can brew at home for pennies a cup (we’ve since learned that’s not true – otherwise, why would those same coffee shops be selling coffee beans to take home for self-brewing?).

Living Together: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples

Living together before marriage: it’s not exactly a growing trend, it’s just something that’s been done for years and years.

Heck, if you want to get technical, Adam and Eve “lived together” in Biblical times. There certainly wasn’t a priest around to make their arrangement an official “marriage”, if you will.

And while Web Watch knows that some parents are perfectly fine with the permanent roommate situation that living together brings, we also know of some couples who purposefully hide their living arrangements from the parental units. It’s all about avoiding the wrath and disappointment of the parents, combined with the realization that the living-in-sin couple might have to pay for their own wedding arrangements, we assume. To each their own. Whatever works.

Birth Order Book, The: Why You Are the Way You Are

“Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!” said Jan, lamenting the fact – again – that she’s the ignored middle child on The Brady Bunch.

So while it was played for laughs, maybe she did know a little bit about what her future held. And it’s not pretty.

1 Comment on The Best SNL Skits EVER (so far…)

The Best of Saturday Night Live

Last season’s season finale proved that Justin Timberlake is the ultimate Saturday Night Live host.

Practically every skit he’s ever in has been a slamdunk. He can sing, he can act, he has absolutely no qualms about doing any thing for a laugh — all qualities for the most successful SNL hosts.

He’s won Emmy awards for his song-writing skills on the show too.

Just because you telecommute doesn’t mean you’re actually doing any work

Adult Footy Pajamas

Web Watch knows quite a few people who either telecommute or work from home on a regular basis.

We even have a running joke amongst our friends about those “work from home” folks’ real job is that of refilling printer cartridges. After all, if you work from home, you must not be doing any “real” work compared to those people who have to go to an office or other work location to do their job.

Apparently, you actually have to leave your house for your job to mean anything. You can’t have surgery done over the phone, can you?

The Three Signs of a Miserable Job: A Fable for Managers

With the economy and unemployment rates as they’ve been these past few years, it’s refreshing to see that there are people out in the workforce who ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEIR JOBS.

Either they couldn’t imagine doing anything else, or they get so much job satisfaction out of the work, the business, or the clients that they wake up every morning with a smile on their face, eager to get to that day’s next opportunity. To them, work is not drudgery — and it’s not “work” if it’s something you enjoy doing.
