Default NAME THAT TV THEME - 80's STYLE

In honour of YziesGirl's Name that Tune thread I thought I'd start one with everyone's favorite babysitter - TV.

I have made the 1st clip pretty easy. There are 15 different TV theme songs from the 80s (the shows had to at least start or finish in the 80s).

If this is received well I'll make others.

Have fun.

OK, I have a question and since I'm new here, I don't consider it THAT stupid.

When people answered HalifaxDrunk's threat of TV tunes, I saw the answers posted BUT when people posted the answers to the wma files, all I saw were the numbers and then blanks (as though they were answered privately). I'd like to make guesses too but don't want to duplicate answers, so how do I see what was guessed.

Sorry guys, I'm clueless!

I should have done that as well (sorry).

In the other music thread (which I read after this one) what they did was change the colour of the font to the same colour as the background. Then if you look you don't see what is being written, but you can highlight the area and the text shows up.

DUH me - I should've tried highlighting to begin with but I thought it was some Vulcan Code for "Mind Your Own Business". Thanks for the help, Bobblehead!

I think I'm going to need longer clips to have any chance at the ones that haven't been guessed yet.

So if 4 wasn't soap, then I think it was Benson.
