Word Games

I actually just thought of this one and I'm kinda proud of it so what the hell. I figure Boris and I might have some fun (I forget what thread that last round of word related stuff was on)*.

Name the Phrase evoked by:

Powhatan





*Yes, it's Friday afternoon and I'm bored. So?

Excellent. Right in front of my face. BTW, I'm gone for a couple of weeks with at most sporadic access, so if I don't post for a while, don't take it as lack of interest.

Yes, we're bored again. I'll leave this one here for Boris' return.

The category is TV theme songs (credit to Leslie Billig and Janet Bradlow for these examples). You get the first letter of each word in ths song. All you have to do is identify the show. Easy, right?

I'll begin with a simple one, first verse only:

CALTASAAMNJ
APMBKHFF
TODHWSASF
AUTTGCABC
OTI, BG, TT.

I'm going to say 'Beverly Hillbillies' and retire undefeated before they get too complicated, not to mention too obscure for a youngster like me.

Well done, Borat. It's hard to remember some of those shows, let alone the themes.

I know it, but I cheated.

I was pretty positive based on the clue that i had never seen this show before, and upon checking, that is indeed the case.
