What depresses me is the nostalgia of the MacGyver theme song remembering how things us to be.
I get a flashback of watching that show as a kid and remembering how I felt.
Up next: Quantum Leap
"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the quantum leap accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home."
That theme song is great. Starts on a bit of a low point, almost implying you are gonna get some dark and dreary intrigue and then jumps into a much more hopeful tune. A perfect primer for a show that no matter how bad it gets the protagonist is gonna find a way out and solve the problems before him.
I miss when everything felt a lot more hopeful, when we didn't know the future was a mix of body mutilation, rampant insanity, government corruption (well we didn't expect tranny corruption), racists screaming racism at others and so on.
I have to see if I can find the old show to rewatch, was a kid back then and could barely watch it back then.
