Follow up to my original post:
Not dead yet! Slowly compiled a ranking of all y'alls suggestions and wanted to share it back. I went one by one and did it manually like a barbarian....so take it with a grain of salt for exact numbers, but it should include almost everything. TIL Reddit posts apparently have a size limit (giggity) so here's everything that had more than 1 person suggesting it (probably, again, grain of salt)
Musical side note: I decided to download some of the full song versions of TV theme songs to throw in the mix. I don't think I realized at the time, just how hard and deep a lot of those lyrics to those bubbly songs really hit. Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Full House, Golden Girls, you name it. Good and deep stuff that went right over my little kid head. Give your old favorites a listen and digest the lyrics through the eyes of a grown up. It hits different as they kids say.
Thanks again internet stranger fam! Y'all are awesome.
