    Not always bedtime but the stopwatch to start 60 Minutes was a weekly reminder that the party is over and school is imminent.

      Damn, I felt that. 😩

      That ominous stopwatch ticking every morning meant that it was time to get on the school bus and that the party was over.

    “King of the Hill”

    When Cartoon Network went off and changed to Adult Swim, and this theme song started playing, you knew that it was time to go get some rest. Especially if it was on a weekend. On Sunday, it meant the fun was up, it was time to sleep and get ready for school the next day. And it was always the first show to air on the block every single night.

    Memories.

    we would all drop what we were doing; get together on the couch and watch it every weeknight when my parents starting enforcing a bedtime to help get them more sleep out of their working schedules.

    Holy crap, I forgot this was even a thing … I was awash with memories and feelings as soon as I read the title.

    It was M.A.S.H. for me … parents watching reruns, I think, as I’m not that old.

    Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got…”

      I’m not familiar with M.A.S.H. (though I know of the show) to know that song. So I read it to myself to the tune of this beaut

    NCIS, or its variants. I think where I lived, it came on at 9pm, and because my parents didn’t want me to watch it, (violence and all that) it was a convenient bedtime marker.

    When I was really young (6 or 7) on weekdays it was the credits music for Dexters Laboratory, which I think ended at 8? On weekends it was The Soprano’s theme. My parents would check out the season VHSs and later DVDs from the library.
