Not a song, not a movie, not a TV show...just 6 seconds of a flashing graphic with accompanying theme. But if ever there was a stimulus to launch an overwhelming, all-encompassing Pavlovian response of delirious expectation and spasmodic joy in my pea-sized brain, this would be it.

I'm not a fan of a lot of 80s music, but I do like The Bangles.

I can't forget to mention my love of any and all movies created by John Hughes.

Can you explain to me how a country that has such a reputation for reserve, produced so many of the best comedians & comedy TV shows in the world during this period.e.g.

Peter Cook & Dudley Moore.
Ken Williams.
Peter Sellers.
Harry Secombe.
Jimmy Edwards.
John Cleese.
Dick Bentley.
Charlie Williams.
Morecome & Wise.
Spike Milligan.
Charlie Drake.
Dave Allen.
French & Saunders.
Mike Yarwood.
Jasper Carrott.
Billy Connolly.
Lenny Henry.
Victoria Wood.
Frank Carson.
Tommy Cooper.
Les Dawson.
Ken Dodd.

And they did not need canned laughter either!.

OK, so how did everybody know to turn the thing over to make ice cream?

I was attempting to post Morris the Cat 9 Lives commercial.
Morris was a hero to me. I’ll try it one more time:

Great list.
Perhaps that "reserve" was too much for those you listed.
Their talent had to break free!

Wow! That brings back some memories.
I don’t recall the ice cream making qualities, but I can tell you it was not a good ramp jumper!

Courtship of Eddy's Father was one of my favorites, along with Family Affair, Dark Shadows (the Soap Opera with vampires, werewolves and other ghosts and beasties) Truth or Consequences (especially when they reunited couples where the husband was in the service and they hadn't seen each other in a while) and the first run of Star Trek.

Do you remember Queen for a Day, I was very young, but I remember being so embarrassed for those women and couldn't understand why they would tell their sad, sad stories to everyone.
