This week on “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner,” there’s no homework for you, the viewer, as we’ll be playing to your innate knowledge of classic television themes.
Roy and I have been busy assembling 20 of our favorites, taking into account viewer suggestions, and tomorrow night we’ll let slip the dogs of war. At least until Facebook A.I. shuts us down! Be advised that, for copyright reasons, there’s every possibility this show, if completed, will not be available from the archive. So it’s a matter of be there, or be square!
Seemingly a lost art, the classic television theme is an elusive balance of melody, tone, and insistent memorability, serving as a kind of mini-overture, casting its spell in a minute or less – in the hope of reeling a prospective audience into the show and insidiously boring into its consciousness.
Where are the Twilight Zones? The Hawaii Five-Os? The Bonanzas of yesteryear?
Why, on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, of course! Sing along in the comments section, when we livestream on Facebook, this Friday evening at 7:00 EST!
