The excellent "Retrocrush" site is doing a countdown of the top TV show themes.
So far, Family Feud is no. 91 and they've counted down to 84. We'll have to keep an ey e on this one.
This isn't a plug, but you can ask me about my book.

The line about Ray Combs in there was unnecessary.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Here, here. This is an example of someone going for the joke just for the sake of going for the joke even though no joke exists, as happens with selective NTN games. In actual fact, it's distasteful and insulting. But you can bet your life's money that some brain-damaged nincompoop found it delightfully hilarious.

Definitely. EXTREMELY uncalled for. And as Don said, a brain-damaged nincompoop probably found it hilarious. Heck, we probably have a member here who found it funny.

Ooh, yeah it was. Wonder who that guy bowls with.

The rest of the list better be magnificent after clocking the Seinfeld theme in at #86, and the theme from Night Court (starring Richard Moll!) at #95.

If they put Dallas in the top 20, they'll be OK in my book. Top 10, and I'll forget that tacky comment about Ray.

God must be punishing them for the Ray Combs crack because the web site crashed two hours ago and has yet to reappear.

About Ray Combs...I agree, didn't like it when I Love The '70s took his death lightly (besides calling Richard drunk) and don't like it here either.  And while I'd be for Ray haunting Retrocrush, if he had anything to do with the Diana Rigg link in their "babes" section just going back home, well for that I won't yell, "BULLS-EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE!" ;-)  

BTW, while it has its good qualities (i.e. said "babe" gallery), Retrocrush can't hold a candle to X-Entertainment.

ObGameShows: X-E currently has some videos of '80s era Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades, many of which were hosted by Pat Sajak.

I'm a pacifist, and even I would like to see a little more action.

Oh my goodness.  That was an awful remark.

The (insert expletive here) who made that insensitive comment should be sent to www.raycombsjr.com and e-mail that site's webmaster an apology.

That Combs thing was out of line.

But, "The Price Is Right" theme was ranked at #83.

You have a gift for understatement.  That was one of the most insensitive, disgraceful things I've ever seen, and I think even that understates the case.

And so, I see, was the theme to The Sopranos.
There was a two-tie for 83rd, eh? Very well.
By the by, I've e-mailed the good man about his insensitive Ray Combs remark and in due course we shall learn if that bears any fruit.

Ouch. That WAS pretty harsh.

There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.
