John's Blog

God, the drivel that you watch on TV as a child that you thought was great. The show Search is a primary example. The premise of this sci-fi series sounds silly now, but was pretty appealing to the fantasy driven mind of a teenager. The show featured the adventures of three secret agents who were equipped with miniature TV transmitters, allowing a central controller to monitor their missions and provide information from their "Probe-control computer", which is the typical 70's blinking/whirling mainframe monstrosity about the size of a bus. Also appealing to teenage hormone driven fantasies and providing a guarantee that I would tune in was the presence of Angel Tompkins in the cast. She had a minor part, but I had a major crush. I've watched shows for worse reasons than that.

But if you enjoy wallowing down memory lane, then get prepared to O.D. on some classic TV goodness. Main Title Heaven is a fantastic blog which features a ton of clips of the opening title sequences to many of the shows from the past that you know and love. And some you don't...and won't.
