Oh, Joe! You and these TST posts are my Proust's madeleine...!
I used to go to bed ridiculously early as a child and this show must have been on at about bedtime. I'm pretty sure I never watched it.
However, I did apparently see the opening credits (delay tactics on my part, I'm sure) because for many years I used to beg to be allowed to watch "the show with the cat" (you know, because there are about 2 nanoseconds of cat in that opening sequence and I've always liked cats and my mother hated cats and I always wanted a cat and of course never got one). Obviously, my parents had no idea what I was banging on about. And I'd totally forgotten that entire (fascinating) glimpse into my past until now. I just had this vague feeling that the music (more familiar than the show itself) had something to do with cats...
So that's another mystery you've cleared up for me!
As I got older (and went to bed marginally later) my obsession turned to M*A*S*H, the theme song of which I could hear when I was lying in bed and I was determined that when I was grown-up I would stay up as late as I liked and watch all these "forbidden" shows...!

Hey Kirsty,
I'd post the M*A*S*H* theme but I can't find a decent video of it. They're all of someone video taping their TV, or weird collages,etc. Must be some sort of copyright issues. Glad you liked this one though.

This isn't the TV show, but the images seem pretty similar (it's mainly the actors that are different I think), but here's a pretty good version:

That is a long one - must be the dance version. I had totally forgotten about the cat image in the previews. I loved that show. Tom Cruise shat upon its memory with his stupid movies of the same name.
