Rating 500+ Theme Tunes - #1: Adventure Time
Adventure Time is a show you have to have been living under a rock to miss. It’s an outlandish yet lore-rich show following adventurers Finn & Jake’s daily shenanigans in a colourful world that’s also post-apocalyptic. It’s pretty small though, definitely didn’t alter the market and become arguably the seminal cartoon of its time.
Tumblr media
I really liked this show growing up! I got Cartoon Network for the first time around the time this first came out, so this was one of the hot new shows for me to watch! I remember seeing adverts for this one so vividly and not really being sure what it'd be. I think I thought it would be a show dipping into various characters' wacky adventures, as opposed to the more focused show it was. But I watched those first few seasons whenever they were on, and I absolutely adored the world, the lore, and the characters. Marceline the Vampire Queen, you will always be famous.
I sadly fell off the show as I grew up, not for a lack of interest however, and tried to keep up with the goings-on when I could. I remained a fan, I occasionally drew the characters or in the style of the show, and of course I listened to all the songs. This show is known for having some absolutely brilliant songs throughout, "I'm Just Your Problem" being a personal fave, as well as "Nuts". God, I love this show, and it really brings me back to that time in my life when it was in its first few seasons! But speaking of music, how does the theme stand up?
Tumblr media
Adventure Time Theme Song (Link Here)
This is a simply iconic intro, with the big, sweeping open across Ooo into the fist bump and the sweet singing. I'm not counting the visuals but the spectacle and build-up of all this is simply incredible! It’s a really good fit for the show, and it’s pretty consistent with the unique presentation the show made for itself. Like, you wouldn't expect such innocent, quirky vocals with the grandiose build-up and exciting title, but not only does it work well, it really fits everything the show is. It's epic and vast and heavy, but it's also extremely goofy throughout.
Those lyrics are also super iconic! Simple, almost overly so, which furthers this whole charmingly odd vibe the intro brings, but also memorable and catchy. Very malleable for changes too, as seen in the variations for the subseries like Stakes and Elements. I won't get into too much detail on them, as they're all pretty much the same song with different singers and slightly altered lyrics, but they're super charming. Each unique singer brings a whole new sweet vibe and I think really drives home how iconic the lyrics are! It feels super cool for other characters to get involved in the intro. Best alternative intro is Stakes though, it goes hard.
But final verdict: the tune itself is really sweet, very cute, and it’s nice and snappy too, which can be nice sometimes! This is a simply brilliant intro, and I might be a smidge bias, but who isn't going to be? We're starting strong here, because I'm giving Adventure Time an S!
Tumblr media
Stay tuned for more and be sure to send in any suggestions for other shows you'd like to see done (after the 500 already in the pipeline that is). Maybe I'll do Fionna and Cake eventually! Also, by the way, this isn't the first alphabetically, I just thought it was a good starting point. Check out the intro to this series here, and let's look at the tier list so far... I guess.

Watch With Me: Hart to Hart 1x01
Tumblr media
Episode Title: Pilot Original Air Date: 8-25-1979 Important Notes: This 2-hour Pilot episode did a great job of setting the series up, and introducing the viewer to Jennifer and Jonathan and the entity that is their powerhouse marriage. However, the show's internal canon was all over the place especially re: the early years of their marriage. So scenes discussing Jennifer's family and wedding should be taken with a grain of salt because they will all be ret-conned by the end of the series. This episode is the only time we hear the Hart's special song - Now, by the Carpenters - and the only episode missing its iconic theme song. (Mark Snow, I could kiss you on your mouth for that theme song.)
Quote of the Ep (tie): "If I rolled over right now and tried to make love to you, would you call the police?" Only if I thought you needed help.
"This is going to be your first time, isn't it?" To be fair, not exactly.
Right off the bat, they try to insinuate that Jonathan is not very involved with running Hart Industries, something that will change drastically. I mean, Deanne has been his secretary for a month and has never seen him?
"They found the missing Rembrandt" - were they trying to Thomas Crown this?
Jonathan might want to take Jennifer's mother out for her birthday - the mom that has been dead since Jennifer was a child. Oopsie.
Tumblr media
They call the spa where they blackmail people "The Golden Goose" lmao. Smooth.
Jennifer is doing a series of articles on the nature of macho. She does intensive research - she's known for it. GASP.
I have no idea what Max was making in the blender with raw eggs and a dash of whiskey? And Jonathan gave it to Freeway? why god.
PS Freeway's actor's name was Charlie and he was 12 when the series ended. He's a Löwchen and my ass is on a waiting list for one with a friend in San Diego who just started in the breed a few years ago.
I have to warn you. I don't watch this show for plot. That would be stupid of me and you.
A Health Farm. what a weird concept. So 70s/80s.
Jill St John dressed as a baby during "regression therapy". Future wife of Robert Wagner, too, 11 years down the road.
"Shouldn't she be in school?" Jonathan Hart is a sarcastic little bitch sometimes.
18 minutes into the episode and we get our first look at Jennifer, racing to the Golden Goose in her Mercedes convertible which apparently does not have its signature "Hart" license plate.
Tumblr media
"Even as a child I was all thumbs." It must have been painful for you to handle a yo-yo. Guess what. Jennifer is also a sarcastic little bitch sometimes.
Doing an enemies-to-lovers mini arc was pretty inspired. Do it tonight, bungalow 10. They wanted the viewer to believe Jennifer was an assassin.
This chick is teaching water aerobics in heels.
"Templeton, you got nerves."
His real name is Jonathan Hart - IT SEEMS HE FANCIES HIMSELF A DETECTIVE AS WELL.
He showed up for an undercover stint with his clothing custom made for his persona. That attention to detail is what makes Mr Hart better than your average mega-rich wanna-be detective.
"Apologize? You? Whatever for?" *smack*
Only the bravest men wear a white onesie. It's the confidence that pulls it off.
This lady smuggled alcohol into her room in her perfume bottles.
Tumblr media
"This is going to cost me money?" LOL omg
One of the first scenes RJ and Stef filmed together was the long scene in bed. They nailed it. Chemistry everywhere all over the place.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Your feet are cold." Compared to who, your fulsome friend? "She threw me out." No taste broad.
Like ok it's nice that they're all touchy and kissy in bed and stuff but the most important thing is that they talk. They really like each other. They're best friends. (*cough*cobert*cough*ihaveatype*cough*)
IRRIDESCENT NYLONS AND A UNITARD.
on this blog we try not to discuss natalie wood and the whole..you know...thing. but she has a cameo in this episode and it would be irresponsible not to mention it. we're like 2 years from The Incident, anyway.
Sylvia is wearing a bathing suit that has a hood? FASHION.
Stefanie Powers did her own hair and makeup for this show. So.
Tumblr media
"How goes our first day?" This has all been one day? Jesus.
Jennifer's at a health farm doing exercising all day and she's laying in bed doing sit-ups. Psycho.
Then again, Max brought burgers for dinner so.
In this entire ass office of books for these supposed psychiatrists and they just happen to have a book by Jennifer.
ding dong sylvia is dead.
this episode has the first, last and only time Jennifer threatens to withhold sex as a way to control Jonathan. It's also one of the very few times they bicker, which was never a good look for them. The only other time was at the end of season five when the powers that be wanted one of them to cheat on the other, those absolute FUCKERS.
"You're thinking that if you kiss me I'll get all mushy."
Tumblr media
"OK, what the hell. Let's stay. So we'll die together. Max will probably bury us."
JONATHAN. WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE RIGHT AWAY OR I SWEAR TO GO I'M BECOMING A NUN.
An entire scene of Jennifer and Jonathan "fighting" while flirting with each other.
award winning acting work by Jennifer, who can actually cry on cue.
i want ya'll to know that this is the first of many times that Jennifer is hypnotized on this show. she's getting drowsy...very drowsy. i'm p sure jonathan is only hypnotized once.
I have seen this episode a LOT but I do not remember why jonathan is putting masking tape under his jacket. wtf is that. he also put a wad of cash in the glove box. i told you i don't pay attention to plot.
Jennifer under hypnosis is talking about how much she loves jonathan and they have that love theme playing under it. So sad that we never hear it again.
oh. he's putting the tape on the glass to cut the window and get into the office. derp.
jonathan is using a stethoscope to get into a safe-locked door. that's almost as brilliant as dr mike using an apple corer for Brian's brain surgery.
these bad guys have this whole hypnotism set-up to get their marks to drive over the cliff by the flashing yellow lights. Meaning they've done this more than once and nobody got suspicious? Everyone is just like "guess people like to die there" and went on with their business?
this entire fight scene with the amazon warrior in purple and jennifer is all "hey stop messing around and get in the car we gotta GO."
they're at a poker game in the middle east. there are camels.
Tumblr media
this DOG though. i love him.
at the end they're detouring into Africa about a sabotaged diamond mine, hinting that they purposely get involved in their cases. Fortunately for all of us, they end up just stumbling on them most of the time which is way more fun. and insane.
anyway, as per usual the episode ends with making out. a fine tradition.
the end.
Tumblr media
Important unimportant detail: Jonathan Hart Towers is also the location of the office of Remington Steele. So I firmly believe that at some point Jennifer wrote a piece about Laura Holt and her firm, specifically years later when she can spill the tea about Remington Steele not even existing and that she had to make him up to get work.
Important unimportant detail #2: my mom's friends used to jokingly call her jennifer hart in the 80s. they were not wrong.
Tumblr media
it tickles me beyond all that is holy.

A Bibliophile's Nostalgia: Anne of Green Gables
I’m back again with my blog post series to revisit some bookish things that give me all the nostalgia feels. Today, I’ll be talking about the TV series, Anne of Green Gables. Anne of Green Gables: The Animated Series is a Canadian animated children’s television series produced by Sullivan Entertainment and developed by writer/director/producer Kevin Sullivan, based on the 1908 novel Anne of…

Okay, so today I decided to go watch one show that was part of my childhood despite me never really watching it outside of a few episodes, the show is Roary the Racing car, I remembered that it aired on Sprout in the 2000’s sometime during the sunny side up show section of the channel (if you know what I’m talking about, then I love you, you’re childhood was amazing)
So after rewatching the show, I really like the animation, the style reminds me a lot of bob the builder in that it shares a similar bright sunny color palette but also in a subdued pastel tone with plenty of greens and lighter background tones that allow the brighter main characters stick out. I like how smooth the stop motion is and I really want to say that the same people who did bob the builder worked on this show because the way the characters are designed and their mouth movements, but I’m not sure. The racing scenes are well done and I think maybe some CGI was used since it can be hard to get good shots in stop motion in action scenes, but I don’t know, if so then the CGI bends very well with the models. I also think that Cici’s model is very cute, not gonna lie.
The character models are great, I like how they are based on real life racing cars giving them distinctive silhouettes. I also really like the dynamic between Roary and big Chris, they definitely have this sort of father-son relationship and I really like Big Chris’s personality, he’s passionate with what he does, he’s down to earth but has some good comedic moments that aren’t over the top, and he’s a good singer, I don’t know who his voice actor is, but they have a good singing voice.
On the downside, I think Roary has main character syndrome where he has to be featured in every episode and every episode is centered around him in some way. The other characters don’t get expanded on and are mostly one note: Roary is the young car, Maxi is the hotshot, Cici is Roary’s French accented crush I think, Drifter is the high tech super car with a computer, and tin top keeps falling apart. I wish they could expand on these characters more and make them feel more of a family. I would like if Maxi started out as being jealous with Roary as he thinks that he’s getting all the attention from big Chris and out performing him, over time and after a few bad accidents, Maxi learns to not let his jealousy get in the way and his jealously towards Roary eventually boils down to just more of a friendly rivalry that’s played up for show during races.
I’d also like to tweak it a bit so Roary was built by Big Chris himself thus adding more to their dynamic and why Roary is the only car that’s not based on any real life car and is a freelance design according to the wiki. It could also add fuel to the Maxi and Roary rivalry as now Roary feels like he has to out perform Maxi and try to earn the favor of mr. Carbohydrates (I know that’s not his name, but I had to). Maybe also have the other cars feel frustrated and jealous that Maxi is the favorite and believe that Roary could be the one to finally outshine Maxi.
But over all, though not a classic, I do like it, I think it’s a cute show and worth the watch if you are into early 2000’s preschool shows.
