Friday Banger 10/12 - ChalkZone
Let no one forget that the main character's name in ChalkZone (2002) is "Rudy Tabootie." The theme song is hype or whatever, too, but come on. Just say it out loud.
Friday Banger 9/21 - The Littles

Friday Banger 9/14 - Rugrats
Do we even need to write a post about this one? Truly the Rugrats theme is Devo’s sickest jam.

This week, Kyle wants us to take it down a notch and actually learn a thing or two, with "Between the Lions" (2000).

Friday Banger 8/3 - COPS
"This acronym-hyped police romp predates the reality show and is full of on-the-nose nicknames like Hy "Taser" Watts...who should really cut it out with the tasering." - Kyle, on this week's Friday Banger, "COPS" (1988)
Friday Banger 7/27 - Pole Position

Friday Banger 7/6 - Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers
"Ch-ch-ch-check out that funky bass! These little chipmunk scamps got re-branded as private detectives - and if that doesn't thrill you yet, Disney's prepared to modulate the whole song up a minor third. TWICE." - Andy, on this week's Friday Banger, Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers (1990)
Friday Banger 6/29 - Rambo: The Force of Freedom

Friday Banger 6/22 - Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
"Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs (1987) is proof you can keep putting more hats on a show and it only gets more and more baller. And the song is so banging that you're gonna forget your own name." - Rory, on this week's Friday Banger
Friday Banger 6/15 - The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest
"You can't listen to The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and not get your adrenaline pumped through the stratosphere while you soar through a green topographic canyon" - Austin, on "The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest" (1996)

Hey, did you catch our special on Beverly Hills Teens last Tuesday? YOU DIDN'T? Will the alluring synthscapes of this theme song entice you?
Monday Banger 5/28 - The Mask: Animated Series
Ok, so I know we missed a couple Fridays. So I'm sneaking The Mask: Animated Series (1994) in here, as a response to Kyle's last pick, M.A.S.K. What is there to say about this show, really? It was a mistake.
Saturday Banger 5/12 - M.A.S.K.
Our lovely Kyle has chosen 1985's "M.A.S.K." for this week's Friday Banger (Saturday edition). "Stay tuned for the upcoming movie reboot of this highly merchandiseable G.I. Joe/Transformers mashup!"
Friday Banger 5/4 - King Arthur and the Knights of Justice
"Wet your whistle in the dumpy puddle of early 90s cable, where a team of hulking football monsters teleport to King Arthur's Court and then get to be King Arthur. The thrashing guitar solo is so you know the football monsters are also rad dudes." - Rory, on "King Arthur and the Knights of Justice" (1992)
