Not always bedtime but the stopwatch to start 60 Minutes was a weekly reminder that the party is over and school is imminent.

Damn, I felt that. 😩

That ominous stopwatch ticking every morning meant that it was time to get on the school bus and that the party was over.

Wait what? You watched 60 Minutes everyday? It was always Sunday evenings from my memories, during winter usually right after a Football game, don’t remember the exact timing tho.

My bed was in view of the living room TV, as long as I kept my head under the covers and pretended to be asleep I could watch MASH.

For me that meant that dinner was half an hour away. That tune always makes me hungry now.

Context: A German show which plays after all other shows, and the song is about the children falling asleep.

Also, if you then heard Bernd, you obviously stayed up too long (but that was kinda the point, I love Bernd)

“King of the Hill”

When Cartoon Network went off and changed to Adult Swim, and this theme song started playing, you knew that it was time to go get some rest. Especially if it was on a weekend. On Sunday, it meant the fun was up, it was time to sleep and get ready for school the next day. And it was always the first show to air on the block every single night.

Memories.
