California Déjà Vu
From this video of TV show opening credits of 1979, a long forgotten one — California Fever. I used to watch this every week, but I honestly don’t remember a thing about it except the theme song (sung by actor Jimmy MacNichol) and that pulsating red circle in the opening. The montage also includes Real People, a show I watched zealously week after week. I had a little boy crush on Sarah Purcell.
And >b>The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo. “Keep us strong…”
Thanks for sharing these, Matt. Amazing how these themes stick in your mind. Sadly, I have no memory of California Fever, not even the incredible theme song. Your school boy crush got her start here in San Diego as a TV weatherwoman (and later co-hosted a morning show). My little boy crush was Inga Swenson. Hubba hubba!
Sarah Purcell and Skip Stevenson were never an item, as was widely believed.
Inga and her steak knife – rowrrr!
