This is what children of the 70s and 80s heard within five seconds of the MASH theme kicking in.

Quad9Damage - 2013-04-23 For me it was Matlock. And Soul Train.

Bhiu - 2013-04-23 Mine were Dallas and the Action News theme.
My hatred for Soul Train is solely on the position that it signaled the end of cartoons for the day. Unless I wanted to switch over to Cartoon Express and watch GoBots or MASK.

Quad9Damage - 2013-04-23 Yeah, Soul Train marked the end of the cartoons and the start of Saturday afternoon—nothing but boring-as-shit programming for the remainder of the day. In my socially retarded, zombie childhood existence, that meant a void that could only be filled with Super Nintendo, reading or homework.
Matlock would be on during weekdays whenever I stayed home sick from school. Fucking Matlock or daytime soaps, representing the world that existed beyond the hell of my public schooling. I almost preferred math class.

Quad9Damage - 2013-04-23 And I never figured out if I was a child of the 80s or 90s. I was born in '84, but I don't remember most of the 80s. I did most of my growing up and memory collecting in the 90s.

What I dig most about this is how the newscaster keeps the same tone and inflection. "I am talking to you in the same manner, but you don't give a shit what I have to say."
