Country Calendar? Yes. I find the show wonderfully calming and relaxing. The latter seasons are better with NZ producers diversifying into interesting markets and practices.
What about A Dog’s Show? I can’t find the intro but here’s some excitement.

Love it, but The Dog Show https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/a-dogs-show-1981 (tune here) just used a cover of this famous tune...

I know it's a radio theme these days but Soul Limbo by Booker T and the MGs is surely a classic through the ages. Theme to Test Match Special on the BBC. Can't remember if they used it when cricket was on the Beeb TV

I can see you have all being doing lots of zoom pub quizes, me too



Edit just watch that through and it flashes 'up mail order bride' assume that's the episode title but maybe it was subliminal messaging. Did the hobo have a dark side?

Yes, she did an amazing job with that. Cello’s are incredible. Further clarification Knight Rider is the greatest TV theme of all time.
