Most of the content on all of my blogs and podcasts is Creative Commons. As I have used many theme songs for the creation of this podcast, I would not presume to make this episode Creative Commons as well. I would, however, encourage you to purchase your own favourites if you can find them.

Best Episode Ever 25 - The Soft Drink Soft Sell

(download)

We remember retro commericals like theme songs. Especially as the target audience for many of these ads, we were subjects to the catchy tunes and the memorable characters that were constructed solely to pitch us soft drinks as children.

From chocolate milk to "fruit" drinks to pop of all kinds, the commercials I watched while growing up are still stuck in my head.

Best Episode Ever 15 - Battle of the Network Stars

Best Ep 15 - Battle Of The Network Stars by Anthony Marco

Perhaps one of the cheesiest concepts ever for a television show, but they undeniably drew an incredible amount of star power. And as silly as it was Battle of the Network Stars was around for over a decade. Travel down memory lane to dunk tanks, tug-o-war, and Simon Says.

Chico, don't be discouraged, 
The Man he ain't so hard to understand. 
Chico, if you try now, 
I know that you can lend a helping hand. 

Because there's good in everyone 
And a new day has begun 
You can see the morning sun if you try. 

And I know, things will be better 
Oh yes they will for Chico and the Man 
Yes they will for Chico and the Man.

When culture gets overinflated, yet refuses to pop, I want to be there with the needle. Enlightened cynics of the world unite! Express your love or hatred of things from the sacred to the mundane.

By the way, there's a good chance any podcast you listen to may have language not suitable for children. If you don't want to take a chance on hearing the occasional f-bomb, don't listen.
