Be prepared.  I am not in a humorous mood.  I'm angry, in fact, feeling abused by a system that is supposed to inform as well as entertain.  Hence the title.

Do not mistake my meaning.  I'm not referring to boredom or an insult to intelligence.  My premise that entertainment could abuse is based, rather, on content and example.  It has nothing to do with quality.

Finally, here are the answers to some of those nagging song questions you keep hearing from the radio, jukebox, your television or phone-slash-portable-dojiggy.  Lori Lopez has taken a moment to reflect upon these issues and settle them once and for all.  We hope you will find her responses helpful.

Chicago:  "Does anybody really know what time it is?"

I think so — No, it just changed, now I know, wait, wrong again, it's — Too late, never mind.

Upon the success of my debut ENTERTAINMENT article (just kidding — but seriously, you should read it), I caved to unpopular demand in deciding to compose a sequel.  Or a string of sequels.  What could I possibly say to generate further lack of interest?  The solution is obvious:  I need to discuss what isn't Entertainment.  Like this article.  (Insert canned laughter.)  Okay, I'm being facetious.  The initial ENTERTAINMENT was well-received, and that's a lot to live up to.  I'm under a great deal of pressure.

What fans tend to recall most fondly and vividly about a television show will be the song that introduces each episode. These tunes can withstand decades imbedded in our psyche, becoming part of who we are. They can immediately stir affection and recollection, bring to mind our perception of a particular series by embodying the aspect of the characters and setting. Everyone has their favorites. This is our list of treasured memories.
