Hip To Be Square

Sunday is TV theme song day here at POP ZEUS!



Square Pegs was a teen angst television show that ran for one season in 1982. Although its a bit obscure, I remember it fondly. Not because it starred a young Sarah Jessica Parker opposite Jamie Gertz, but because my sister happened to be about the same age as the characters at the time, and her name happened to be Peggy. This provided hours of fodder for my older brothers to tease her with. I'd like to take this opportunity to state that I was far too young at the time to make fun of anyone, and even if I did, it wouldn't have been my sister Peggy because she'd kick the shit out me. Still.

ADDENDUM: Here is the actual theme song

Galaxy High Theme

Apparently the ill fated Saturday morning cartoon Galaxy High only lasted for 13 episodes and was taken off the air after two seasons. So then why do I remember this show so vividly? Because it had a bad ass theme song, that's why. For the past twenty or so years this song has popped in my head followed by hours of me trying to figure out what made me think of the Galaxy High theme song.

I also remember thinking the Earth girl in the cartoon was hot. And before you chastise me for being attracted to a cartoon character as a young boy, go back into yr brain vaults and remember you yourself probably had a crush on Smurfette or Miss Yvonne or Ms. Pac Man or whatever at some point in your life. We all have our disgusting secrets. Apparently Galaxy High is now on DVD, if that's the kind of thing yr into.
