What's My Line theme

On last night, it was interesting to hear the What's My Line theme played while they were talking about the Dallas Mavericks "Goin' fishin."

I think it's well past the time where we really should be all that shocked or excited to hear a game show theme from either of the two GSN CDs used on radio or TV.  In all but the rarest of occasions, they're not being used in reverence towards the original game show - simply as "period" music.

 I'll remind you that your audience consists of people who get excited to the point of putting their lives on hold over minor sideplots of television shows that involve the characters making an appearance on WOF - which, alongside Jeopardy, is about as common a GS reference as one can make.

Rollercoaster is the perfect accompaniment to the daily activity of flossing your teeth. You do floss your teeth every day, don't you? I hope so. My former dental hygienist told me that flossing is considered more important than brushing. Why? Because today's fluoridated water has reduced the incidence of tooth decay. That is a statistical fact. Anyhoo, she and her husband are now story editors on the Drew Carey show. Where else but in Hollywood does a dental hygienist become a sitcom story editor? She was a damn fine hygienist in her day and helped get me over my dental phobia by talking about show bidness while cleaning my teeth.

Do not attempt to floss your teeth while riding on a roller coaster.

But I digress ...

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

 Now, if they dug up the theme to "Whew!" and used it during a game, that might be something to talk about.

In fact, I was once told by a local radio DJ that the two GS theme CDs were probably used as often as any "stock music" CDs they had.
This isn't a plug, but you can ask me about my book.

"Were* story editors.

ABC will finally be burning off those final season "Carey" eps starting on June 2.  Double pump on Wednesday nights.  They'll get through the whole season in 11 weeks.

ArguablyObGameShow:  I guess they've burned off every "Whose Line?" that's been made.
