“Come and knock on our door…”
The post-credit logos of the Simpsons were a synonym of bedtime.
Didn’t the Simpsons ends like at 6?
Holy crap, I forgot this was even a thing … I was awash with memories and feelings as soon as I read the title.
It was M.A.S.H. for me … parents watching reruns, I think, as I’m not that old.

Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got…”
I’m not familiar with M.A.S.H. (though I know of the show) to know that song. So I read it to myself to the tune of this beaut
Xfiles theme song.
As soon as that shit came on I ran to bed. Fuuuck that, terrifying.
Not really a show, but Im familiar with the old CBC (canada) sign-off. Wasn’t really my bed time either, I have insomnia disorder, I would just read books after the tv went off-air for the night. I’m also familiar with the CBC sign-on, and the first program on in the morning was 100 Huntley Street, followed by the PTL Club, before Jim and Tammy Faye went to jail.
Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Sometimes my parents let me stay up to watch it, but they stopped after some dumb gag scared me and I started crying.

Literally the closing signal of the evening tales show, the Hungarian “Television Bear”.

This question reminds me of the early '70s, in Italy, when only a state-owned TV channel was broadcasting, and without ads. Except between 8:30 and 9:00 pm, in a special time where the spots were like little show, the children were watching them with their eyes glued to the screen, and then… bedtime! It was “Carosello”, and for the whole Italy: “the children to bed after Carosello”!
