Description:Although much of his youth was spent watching “Batman,” and “Creature Double Feature,” Darren’s current gigs as a parent, TV field producer, newspaper columnist and documentary filmmaker ironically leave little time for TV. But he still gets emotional whenever he hears the theme songs to “Welcome Back Kotter,” “The Greatest American Hero," and “WKRP in Cincinnati.”
