Not since the early-'80s days of "Stars on 45" and "Hooked on Classics" have we heard the likes of "Boob Tube." Consummated by Canadian songwriter James Collins, who has produced cunning novelties like "I Wanna Write a Song (For Celine Dion)," the medley features a mesh of TV themes—"The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Wonder Woman," "Love Boat," "WKRP," "The Golden Girls," "The Greatest American Hero" and "Laverne & Shirley"—all with singers approximating the originals and linked with—what else—a disco melody line. Given the retro nature of programs that are showcased, "Boob Tube" aims for boomers who will giggle at the golden memories. So how about an extended mix, featuring the likes of "Maude," "Angie," "Welcome Back Kotter," "Happy Days" and "All in the Family"? —Chuck Taylor
