I'm bored. Let's play 70's shows "theme trivia"
So - thought maybe I could get some one to play with me.  
Here goes... the 1970's sitcoms, dramas and cartoons all seemed to have theme songs. I'll start by giving a few lines of a "theme" --- the next person finishes that theme- names the show- and starts a new one for someone else to finish-- and so forth and so on. Not sure who all is out there tonight, or, if you are old enough to remember the 70's! Hope so, because like I said, either my husband or dog stinks, I'm bored, and I want to play. 
Here's mine: In the middle of the summer, in the middle of a park, there began a great adventure for a boy whose name was Mark. He had come to see the magic man , along with all the children, and, so began the day that Mark was never to forget. He performed all sorts of miracles, and Mark was so impressed, that when the time had come to go, he lagged behind the rest. Quietly he did return , the secret of the hat to learn, but everyone had gone away, and darkenss filled the tent. The moment that he touched the hat, the room began to glow, and as he put it down and ran, the hat began to GROW- AND- GROW- AND GROW...... NOW- who can finish this, name the "cartoon" and start a new "theme" |
