A word on spam: We know that many of you are having troubles with our new spam filters, with comments disappearing, or not being published at all. We're working on finding a solution, but in the meantime, here are some red flags you may want to watch for that may cause your comment to be mistaken for spam:
• Comment is posted within 20 seconds after user being present on the page,
• The number of keystrokes does not exceed the number of real symbols within comment (a case of copy-paste),
• A comment contains digital symbols (numbers, $),
• A comment contains URL.
If you can avoid any of these (for instance, writing out a number instead of using the actual number) it might help to prevent your comments from being flagged. But, we now have the power to unflag comments, so if your post disappears, give us a little while, and we'll be able to bring it back. This is all a work in progress, so please bear with us, and we'll keep you updated.
Max Adler has two films lined up. A Woody Allen film set in L.A., and Gods & Secrets, "a deconstructionist take on superheroes that examines personal foibles, celebrity culture and moral quandaries involving public figures who are also super-powered."

It won with 39%, with TV Theme Songs Of The 70's and The Definitive Top 100 Of The 80's in a tie with 30% each. Thank you also to the people who wrote in their own choices, including "Songs Everyone Knows That Didn't Hit The Top 40," "Best celebs in Speedos," and whoever voted for "for the love of all that's holy, please stop!!" ... maybe next time.
So let's get started with the top 40 TV themes/openings of the 90's! At #40 is Going Places.
Within a few seconds, the sound and font are unmistakable. This has the stench of ABC's TGIF all over it. Going Places aired on ABC from September 21, 1990 until March 8, 1991, starring Heather Locklear, Alan Ruck, Data's Offspring, The Original Stiles from the movie Teen Wolf, Phillip Charles Mackenzie, That Girl Who Had Two Dads, and the incomparable Holland Taylor. The theme song was written by the same songwriters who gave us the themes for Perfect Strangers, Family Matters and Full House. In case you couldn't tell.
