We all know the signs. The little details in a show's opening or in the show itself that let you know that you're about to see said show in, to be kind, way past its prime.
For instance...
If you see purple lines spinning upwards and an ugly "WB" logo forming, as what sounds like the Looney Tunes opening on crack plays...run away. Far, far away.
If you see those kids singing "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, Schlemiel, Schlamazel…", run away. Far, far away.
If Arnold's with the sign touting Fonzie and Al as owners appears after the Happy Days title card, run away.....
If you see the Star Wars open, and the scroll begins with an episode number less than 4 and greater than 6....(though your mileage may vary)

If you hear "Got to get tough, Yo Joe!",,
If you see a WCW ppv opening with the "star" logo, and it isnt Spring Stampede 1999 (again YMMV),,

If you see shots of Scranton and an office but the first cast member seen isn't Steve Carell, just step away.

If you see anything other than "directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera" in the opening credits of a Tom & Jerry cartoon.

YMMV, but if you watch Hardcore TV and hear This Is Extreme instead of Thunderkiss.

If you watch Coupling and the opening credits are on a white background.
Any Popeye on a Saturday Morning network schedule.
YMMV, but if you watch Batman: The Animated Series and it begins with not a title card but chyron.
When the Rhoda theme song has more synthesizers.
YMMV but when Batgirl appears on the red background and kicks an unnamed thug.

When Coy and Vance are in the opening of The Dukes Of Hazard
YMMV but if you watch Ducktales (original series) and Bubba is in the Title sequence
If you watch World Class Championship Wrestling and see a different title sequence other then the one with the satellite beaming down on earth

Grey Pierson silliness is about to follow! |

Everyone knows Professor X Is A Jerk. I agree with this. Seriously... there are so many times he decides to either just leave without telling anybody or pretending his powers don't work (In situations he both knows and says are potentially fatal for his students) only to say he was just joking... I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out he had the wheelchair/hoverchair because he was lazy. |

If the opening of Ren and Stimpy ends with a title card saying "Adult Party Cartoon",, Or if it freezes on the title card and never goes to the "Created by John Kricfalusi" one. |
