YouTube et al are good for finding freaky things like the opening credits of Nanny and the Professor. Soft and sweet, wise and wonderful. Who? Our mystical magical nanny - with her animated blue hat and cloak. At least Juliet Mills didn't sleep with one of the sons, and the Professor didn't kill himself. Unlike a certain series I could mention.
Also the opening credits of WKRP in Cincinnati. The senator, whilst insisting he was not intoxicated, could not explain his nudity.
'Nel blu dipinto de blu' is, of course, the motto of the Star Corps.
There comes a point when this crosses over into the really unhealthy, and I sense that this point has been reached.
However, to slightly redeem myself here is a link to a BBC documentary, I am guessing it was probably Arena, in which Reyner Banham drives round LA. It is low res and the colour is somewhat crap.
