[net.tv] Memorable Titles

One of my favorites is PBS's Mystery titles, as drawn from Gorey.
(If anyone out there hasn't read "The Unstrung Harp" or "The Curious
Sofa" or other Gorey strangenesses, I highly recommend them.  Many of
the best ones are collected in the anthology AMPHIBOREY.)

I liked the titles for "I Spy," particularly the point at which the
cartoon figure turns from a tennis stroke to holding a gun.
And "Wild Wild West" for its animated titles.  And "Quincy," particularly
the fainting policeman (though the shot of Quincy examining an arm which
turns out to belong to a living woman, not a corpse, was also amusing).

I thought it was "So get your witch's shawl on."

Anybody?
