TV Theme Songs

[Wild_Heart03]

Lisa (goldustsongbird) and I were talking in another thread about our favorite TV theme songs, and I thought it would be a good idea to make a separate thread about it. So, what are some of your favorites?

Personally, I love TONS of theme songs. The first few that come to mind are The Facts Of Life, Growing Pains, and L.A. Law. Especially L.A. Law, gotta love that dramatically huge 80s sound it has. :nod:

[JazmenFlowers]

yay! I was totally waiting for you to start this thread. the only ones coming to mind right this second are:

The Golden Girls
Designing Women
The Nanny

[estranged4life]

"Love and Marriage"-Married...With Children
"Princes of the Universe"-Highlander the Series (Song by Queen)
"Suicide is Painless"-Theme from M.A.S.H. (Had to memorize the lyrics back in elementary school for a program)

[CelticGypsy]

Really dating myself. These are cheesy but fun to watch when I was a kid:cool:

The Partridge Family
Donny and Marie Show - I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock n' roll:lol:

[danax6]

My sis is an avid soundtrack collector, and she also has every god damn TV theme ever made. It's fun when she starts quizzing you by playing a few seconds and having you guess which show.

Anyhoo...some of my favourites are:

- Friends
- The Nanny
- The Sopranos (catchy tune)
- Moonlighting (Al Jarreau :p )
- Married...with Children
- What was that show called again that had "Hit the Road, Jack" as its theme song?
- CSI (The Who...you know)
- Golden Girls (so cheesy, but fun)

I'll think of more later.
