Link to the vocal version of TNG theme:

[Fedya]

This is the Newlywed Game show,
Where Bob Eubanks is host...

Oh, wait, not that vocal version.

Someday I hope to be actually surprised by something on one of MeTV's "surprising" lists.

Not gonna happen.  I get the idea their trivia is written toward people who don't have a full library of books on the history of television, like us.

On a side note, at least about 95 percent of MeTV's trivia is accurate.  Eyes of a Generation just posted about Concentration today, and had two misses:  the year Hugh Downs took over Today, and the reason Bob Clayton was replaced by Ed McMahon - if it was because of "Clayton's leave of absence for an illness", that contradicts virtually everything else out there, including Hugh Downs' memoirs.

You weren't going in the direction I think you were going there...were you?

I was thinking of the old GSN promos from around 2002.

"It's the Family Feud,
It's feuding family fun
Our dashing host,
He kisses everyone"

and so on.

I know there was also one for the Match Game.

Okay, good. I had flashbacks to another lyrical connection with game show themes.

(I didn't have GSN until 2006 for the record and thus wouldn't remember such an ad campaign.)
