Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Sometimes my parents let me stay up to watch it, but they stopped after some dumb gag scared me and I started crying.

Xfiles theme song.

As soon as that shit came on I ran to bed. Fuuuck that, terrifying.

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

[-] HotWheelsVroom@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Wait what? You watched 60 Minutes everyday? It was always Sunday evenings from my memories, during winter usually right after a Football game, don’t remember the exact timing tho.

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.

My bed was in view of the living room TV, as long as I kept my head under the covers and pretended to be asleep I could watch MASH.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 1 day ago

For me that meant that dinner was half an hour away. That tune always makes me hungry now.

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 7 points 23 hours ago

The post-credit logos of the Simpsons were a synonym of bedtime.

Didn't the Simpsons ends like at 6?

The closing credits for ALF.

Hey Willie!

[-] Odo@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of "Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got..."

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

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

Context: A German show which plays after all other shows, and the song is about the children falling asleep.

Also, if you then heard Bernd, you obviously stayed up too long (but that was kinda the point, I love Bernd)

[-] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 21 hours ago

Not really a show, but Im familiar with the old CBC (canada) sign-off. Wasn't really my bed time either, I have insomnia disorder, I would just read books after the tv went off-air for the night. I'm also familiar with the CBC sign-on, and the first program on in the morning was 100 Huntley Street, followed by the PTL Club, before Jim and Tammy Faye went to jail.

"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.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

i love lucy.

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.

Local news ending or TNG opening

[-] craseng@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago

This question reminds me of the early '70s, in Italy, when only a state-owned TV channel was broadcasting, and without ads. Except between 8:30 and 9:00 pm, in a special time where the spots were like little show, the children were watching them with their eyes glued to the screen, and then... bedtime! It was "Carosello", and for the whole Italy: "the children to bed after Carosello"!

Literally the closing signal of the evening tales show, the Hungarian "Television Bear".

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 1 day ago

Fat cat!

My mum recorded this and would play it when she wanted me to goto bed early.

[-] lordnikon@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

The ending of get smart but on nick and night not first run I'm not that old

[-] cfi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

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.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

End of glenroe. (Ireland)

64 Zoo Lane! It’s from the late ‘90s but it has this weird timelessness about it I think.
