* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Donned by Boss Godfrey, also known as "The Man With No Eyes." Whom you do ''not'' talk to.
* [[Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!]]: Asks for it in the rain. No response.

Still in use today by Australia's [[Nine Network]] for their theme.
* [[Working on the Chain Gang]]: What Luke did in-between several prison breaks.
