― andrew m., Thursday, 1 August 2019 19:03 (four years ago) link
if you can stomach it, here's the opening theme song. the yt description says: "The opening scene from Sixpack Annie features a great song by Minette Allton and Melissa Wilson, performed by Tim Hayfield. The moment Annie lovably bellows "Oh... who says we're wearing any pants!" I knew I was going to like this film." to me it sounds like they sent in some lyrics to MSR to have rodd keith have a go at it. just total garbage.

Kiss My Grits, 1982

Good one! This thread was made for movies with titles like Kiss My Grits.
I posted something about this in the Podcasts thread, but since I discovered the podcast in question here (thanks Doctor Casino!), I should mention here was really sad to learn that the 80s All Over guys were unable to see that project through to the end. A nostalgic and informative listen for 80s kids like me, and a great source for material for this thread.

hahaha, on George & Mildred:
Released [weeks] after the death of star Yootha Joyce, the film was neither a commercial nor a critical success. One critic has described the film as "one of the worst films ever made in Britain . . . so strikingly bad, it seems to have been assembled with a genuine contempt for its audience." A writer for The Guardian stated that the film's failure marked "the death knell" for the 1970s British practice of producing motion picture spinoffs based on sitcoms. The film aired on television on Christmas Day 1980, only a couple of months after its theatrical release.
