ITT: social security recipients
I wish. I’m still 20+ years from being able to draw on SSI and I can hear every image clear as day. This was just part of my childhood.
If was 20 years older that would mean that I could draw on social security before it’s fucked and probably would have worked somewhere with a pension too, rather than being forced into a 401k that’s probably also going to be fucked.
For anyone else confused like I was, these were iconic vehicles from some old and terminally 80s television shows ("A-team", "Knight Rider", "Air wolf"). Seriously, the theme songs alone are just... wow.
IMO the title cards would have worked better. This makes it seem like you're supposed to hear the sound that the vehicles made
Also, was Air Wolf that popular? I would have swapped it with MacGyver, and I'm judging that based on how often other pop culture seems to reference the shows above (ex. Community, etc).
MacGyver is popular enough that some people use it to describe when something is juryrigged/improvised. They might even understand it better than those alternate definitions
MacGyver was more popular, but I doubt much of anyone remembers the theme song.
Yes people regularly call me MacGyver in my job to this day because of being crafty about finding solutions with what we have on hand. Never heard of air wolf in Europe.
Having just watched an episode of the A-team, I think it's that when these iconic vehicles are onscreen and 'doing things' they play the score. (I'm just assuming that's true for the other two as well, it was true in other 80s shows I've seen and seems to have been something of a trope)
I can hear Airwolf's screaming turbine and K.I.T.T.s sensor array.
And they were all very popular. They left the one unpopular vehicle out: Street Hawk.
Man I loved street hawk as a kid for all 2 episodes it existed (or at least that’s probably all my parents let me watch)
I watched these shows as a kid in late 90s via Austrian public TV and can confirm: Air Wolf wasn't among them but MacGyver was though.
I think Baywatch would've worked as well though the genre might be a bit off compared to the others.
