The closing credits for ALF.
Hey Willie!
Context: A German show which plays after all other shows, and the song is about the children falling asleep.
Also, if you then heard Bernd, you obviously stayed up too long (but that was kinda the point, I love Bernd)
“Come and knock on our door…”
The post-credit logos of the Simpsons were a synonym of bedtime.
Didn’t the Simpsons ends like at 6?
Holy crap, I forgot this was even a thing … I was awash with memories and feelings as soon as I read the title.
It was M.A.S.H. for me … parents watching reruns, I think, as I’m not that old.
George Lopez
i love lucy.
we would all drop what we were doing; get together on the couch and watch it every weeknight when my parents starting enforcing a bedtime to help get them more sleep out of their working schedules.
The end of The Waltons.
“Goodnight John Boy.”
“Dammit! Can’t a guy masturbate in this house?!”
Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got…”
I’m not familiar with M.A.S.H. (though I know of the show) to know that song. So I read it to myself to the tune of this beaut
Xfiles theme song.
As soon as that shit came on I ran to bed. Fuuuck that, terrifying.
My mum recorded this and would play it when she wanted me to goto bed early.
Not really a show, but Im familiar with the old CBC (canada) sign-off. Wasn’t really my bed time either, I have insomnia disorder, I would just read books after the tv went off-air for the night. I’m also familiar with the CBC sign-on, and the first program on in the morning was 100 Huntley Street, followed by the PTL Club, before Jim and Tammy Faye went to jail.
Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Sometimes my parents let me stay up to watch it, but they stopped after some dumb gag scared me and I started crying.
NCIS, or its variants. I think where I lived, it came on at 9pm, and because my parents didn’t want me to watch it, (violence and all that) it was a convenient bedtime marker.
