Bleh. Brute force.

Did it start airing in:

• 1990?
• 1992?
• 1994?

It started airing in an odd-numbered year remember. Yes, there is one year which hasn't been covered yet, and that's the year it started airing in

Bleah. (As you might've guessed, I'm falling sick again. -4 INT.)

Request for clarification: Define "season".

• Is it an OP?
• Is it a TV series?

edited 15th Mar '12 6:16:46 AM by Pyrite

Season doesn't need to be defined, as it is not a TV series, so seasons don't apply in the normal way

And yeah, I'm going to say it's the OP.

edited 15th Mar '12 6:41:35 AM by flygon250

Well, that makes things a whole lot easier. To put us all out of our collective misery...

I'm guessing that it's either Take Me Home, Country Roads by Olivia Newton-John, or Country Road by Youko Honna, from Whisper Of The Heart. Probably the former, since it's listed as the OP.

Since I'm falling ill, if I got this one, I'm gonna pass the round to the morning crew. 'I've got chills / They're multiplying..."

It's Take me, home, Country Roads, obviously, because of the Grease hint. Country Roads was a made-for-movie Japanese cover of that song, I believe, I would have counted either answer due to rule 4.
