If you call this 'tv for girls' I will kick you in the face (I probably won't kick you in the face, I do yoga sporadically and even then - chubby girls ain't never gonna make it as ninjas). This rivals The Wire for characterisation, overall story telling and being honest. Though, maybe not 'honest' in the way The Wire is (i.e. 'this shit actually goes down'). I don't know of too many high schools that have motorcycle gang leaders from the wrong side of the tracks AS WELL AS the offspring of famous movie stars but then, I don't know many high schools full stop. I live in a provincial town on the south coast of England. For all I know Baltimore is in fact all white picket fences and ticker tape parades rather than drug dealers and violent crime. What the fuck do I know you know?
Fact is. I love this show. And I love the titles. Fits 'like a glove' as Ace Ventura would say (1994 called, they want their pop culture reference back)

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
Simple but efffective and Leonard Rossiter gets his kit off. All topped off with a 1970's 'plinkplonk' noise at the end (there is no sound so 1970's as the BBC 'plinkplonk' noise. Deal with it Rick Wakeman). Could you want for anything else?
Maybe this:
I bloody love Cinzano Bianco. Maybe even as much as I love Joan Collins (which is a lot).

Moonlighting
Ain't nothing like a slow jam from Al Jarreau.
I have no idea what half these images have to do with a sparky comedy-drama detective show. Barring the ones that actually contain the stars of said show of course.

Mad Men
Another awesome one. Like the show itself, they's just don't make tv art of this quality enough.
However, 'embedding disabled by request' being the bane of my existence it won't let me post anything more than a link so you get two for the price of one with The Simpsons version as well (embedding also disabled by request, who knew this would one day be a sentence with meaning?) which, it has to be said, is as good if not better.
Even though I hate The Simpsons nowadays being, as it is, an unfunny pale imitation of its former self.
Which reminds me too much of myself for me to be comfortable watching it.
