A set of filler texts as found on 1970’s – 1980’s Television
OK, this is for me, as I’m always having to locate this stuff on Google. The traditional Lorem Ipsum texts are fine for most purposes, but sometimes you need to add filler text and also be able to locate it afterwards on-screen or in a database entry. Which would be easier to spot in a database full of test entries;”Lorem Ipsum”, or “Top Cat!”… I leave it to you to decide!

Top Cat
Top Cat! The most effectual Top Cat! Who’s intellectual close friends get to call him T.C., providing it’s with dignity. Top Cat! The indisputable leader of the gang. He’s the boss, he’s a pip, he’s the championship. He’s the most tip top, Top Cat.
Dastardly & Mutley / Wacky Races
Mutley, you snickering, floppy eared hound. When courage is needed, you’re never around. Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest should be there for bungling at which you are best. So, stop that pigeon, stop that pigeon, stop that pigeon, stop that pigeon, stop that pigeon, stop that pigeon, stop that pigeon. Howwww! Nab him, jab him, tab him, grab him, stop that pigeon now.
The Addams Family
They’re creepy and they’re kooky, Mysterious and spooky, They’re all together ooky, The Addams Family. Their house is a museum, Where people come to see ’em, They really are a screa-um, The Addams Family. So get a witches shawl on, A broomstick you can crawl on, We’re gonna pay a call on, The Addams Family.

You wanna go where people know, people are all the same, You wanna go where everybody knows your name.
Dukes of Hazzard
Just the good ol’ boys, never meanin’ no harm. Beats all you’ve ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. Straight’nin’ the curve, flat’nin’ the hills. Someday the mountain might get ’em, but the law never will. Makin’ their way, the only way they know how, that’s just a little bit more than the law will allow. Just good ol’ boys, wouldn’t change if they could, fightin’ the system like a true modern day Robin Hood.
Hong Kong Phooey
Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy. Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye. He’s got style, a groovy style, and a car that just won’t stop. When the going gets tough, he’s really rough, with a Hong Kong Phooey chop (Hi-Ya!). Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy. Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye. Hong Kong Phooey, he’s fan-riffic!
Knight Rider
Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless in a world of criminals who operate above the law.
The A-Team
Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem and no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-team.

Married, with Children
Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage, Go together like a horse and carriage, This I tell you brother, you can’t have one without the other. Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage, It’s an institute you can’t disparage, Ask the local gentry, and they will say is element’ry. Try, try, try to separate them, It’s an illusion.

Here we come… Walking down the street… We get the funniest looks from.. Everyone we meet. Hey, hey we’re the Monkees, And people say we monkey around. But we’re too busy singing, To put anybody down. We’re just trying to be friendly, Come watch us sing and play. We’re the young generation, And we got something to say. Hey, hey we’re the Monkees, You never know where we’ll be found. So you’d better get ready, We may be comin’ to your town.
The Twilight Zone
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call the Twilight Zone.

Eye halve a spelling chequer, It came with my pee sea, It plainly marques four my revue, Miss steaks eye ken knot sea. Eye strike a quay and type a word, And weight four it two say, Weather eye am wrong oar write, It shoos me strait a weigh. As soon as a mist ache is maid, It nose bee fore two long, And eye can put the error rite, Its rare lea ever wrong. Eye have run this poem threw it, I am shore your pleased two no, Its letter perfect awl the weigh, My chequer tolled me sew. -Sores unknown
