Youtube is GREAT. Recently, for some reason unbeknown to me, I've been delving deep into the darkest recesses of my brain to try and remember some of my favourite TV programs as a kid. I've attached the theme song to one of them below. The program is 'The Littlest Hobo' and the theme song is 'Maybe Tomorrow'. Ahhhh, yes, I see, I've ignited a memory! What a song and what a briliiant program it was! The Littlest Hobo was kind of a rougher, tougher, less feminine version of Lassie, and although I'm not the hugest fan of German Shepherds, I'm slowly changing my tune.

The littlest hobo was a legend, rather unassuming actually and unlike Lassie, never had any owners, hence the nickname 'Hobo'. At the end of each episode, he'd just bugger off down the street nonchalantly and go find someone else to help protect from thieves or something. And so the next episode would begin. Much like Jessica Fletcher, trouble was never far from the littlest hobo.

So have a watch, it's sure to stir up some emotion. I'm also going to list some of my other favourite's, they're all on youtube, so just punch the program name into their search bar and reminisce away.

Here are a few, in no particular order: Mr Belvedere, St Elsewhere, Different Strokes, Silver Spoons, Riptide, Thundercats, Chips, Who's the boss, The Equalizer, Empty Nest, Bob Newhart.
