I have a touch of writer's block today. Nothing horrible - just can't figure out how to get from point A to point B without losing all of my readers to boredom. That's all.

Some go for a hike, or watch a movie. What do I do, you may ask?

Think about it. Whatever inspiration you are seeking or reassurance you need, there is a television theme song for you.

If that's your life, then you of course can seek inspiration from one of the following:

But what if you're just beginning to embark on your new life, raising a family with your best friend and your dead wife's brother? Or, even more difficult yet, what if an ex-girlfriend left you AND another one of her exes custody of her teenage daughter? I know that both of these situations have affected many of you, so here's a little inspiration just for you...
The point is there is no problem too big or too small for a TV theme. And what if you're a grumpy old church deacon who occasionally feels like jumping rope? Yep...there's something for you as well. Just keep dreaming, Deacon Frye. Just keep dreaming.
