Favorite TV theme show songs?
Well, I found this website http://www.melaman2.com/tvshows/index.html today and have been enjoying some old TV theme show songs. Some bring back fond memories of shows I love and adore, such as Quantum Leap and Wings (a show I am enjoying again on Nick at Nite!!).
What TV theme show songs do you like? Some of my faves: The Monkees (Hey hey, we're the Monkees!!) Wings (One of my fave TV shows and I love the Schubert classical theme) Quantum Leap (Catchy theme you can hum along with, TERRIFIC show!!!) The Rifleman (Hummable and cool) Twin Peaks (Best show EVER and the music is greatness!) Fresh Prince of Bel Air (Yes, I know all the words. LOL) The Addams Family (silly and weird like the show *snap snap*) Knight Rider (Cool car, cool theme) Benny Hill Show (hilarious music) Dukes of Hazzard (good kuntry stuff) The Fall Guy (cute song sung by the Fall Guy. Heh) Gidget (Love that 60's hep cat singin') Golden Girls (love the show and love to sing the theme) Green Acres (is the place to be....Long live Hooterville!! LOL) Moonlighting (when Bruce was hot and the show was good) Night Court (love this show and has a cool theme) Partridge Family (C'mon get happy :) ) Saved by the Bell (I've seen every ep, even the lame New Class, College Years, Hawaii special, etc. LOL) What's Happening (Hummable and fun) |

I love TV theme songs. In fact, when I was a kid, I used to sit by the TV with my little portable tape-recorder, and I'd tape the themes to my favorite shows.
Of course, this was an extremely low-tech approach, and invariably my dog would bark right in the middle of the song! :laugh: Some of my all-time fave theme songs, then & now: Wonder Woman Gimme A Break The Dick Van Dyke Show The Mary Tyler Moore Show Alice One Day At A Time The Jeffersons Happy Days Laverne & Shirley The Carol Burnett Show Maude The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries Charlie's Angels Three's Company The Brady Bunch The Partridge Family Knight Rider Dark Shadows Full House Family Matters Perfect Strangers Mr. Belvedere Who's The Boss Diff'rent Strokes Delta Golden Girls The Nanny Friends The Simpsons Family Guy Quantum Leap Monk Sweating Bullets Dukes Of Hazzard The Fall Guy Oh, and probably a bunch of others I've forgotten. :o |

I recorded not only some theme songs, but shows or parts of shows. :shocked: I know, I'm weird. I just downloaded The Munsters and I LOVED that show as a kid, and I like the theme song too. :nod:

You guys are forgetting some vital ones here! Such as (off the top of my head):
Laverne and Shirley Mama's Family (which incidently was supposed to have words...I saw Vicki Lawrence do a "two woman show" before where she did herself and then Mama, and before she did Mama, she sang the words that were supposed to be in the theme song) Pee Wee's Playhouse and, one of my personal favorites, GUMMI BEARS! Dashing and daring, courageous and caring Faithful and friendly with so much to share All through the forest, they sing out in chorus Marching along as their song fills the air Gummi Bears! Bouncing here and there and everywhere High adventure that's beyond compare They are the gummi bears! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: |
Quote:
I really wanted to see Vicki Lawrence's show when she was in the area. Did you see her when she performed at Mountaineer? |
Let's see. So many great tunes to choose from...
Batman: The Animated Series The Simpsons Twin Peaks Cheers Friends M.A.S.H. Remington Steele (the ORIGINAL theme, not the second one they used later in the series) Gilligan's Island Dukes of Hazzard John |
One I absolutely loved (and almost no one else remembers): the theme song to the short-lived ABC sitcom "Phenom" from '93-'94. Carly Simon sung it... ooh it's so cool!
Some of my other faves: - Golden Girls - Growing Pains - Facts Of Life - Full House - L.A. Law - Laverne & Shirley - The Nanny - Blossom |
A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned...Three's Company, Maude, Cheers, Family Ties...
But I think my favorite is All in the Family. Love the show, love the theme song! :woohoo: And I remember thinking back in the day I was pretty damn smart when I figured out the line "...boy our old LaSalle ran great..." Great thread! :xoxo: |

Ok, is it just me, or is the same theme song used for The Daily Show, also? |

Buffy & Angel. Both are perfect for the type of shows they are.
|
Well that's easy. It has to be the theme from the BBC's Formula 1 highlights programme, Grand Prix. It's a song a few of you may have heard called The Chain :D
|
Law and Order and The Dead Zone.
|
Veronica's Closet (Body Rock by Moby)
Suddenly Susan ("everybody wants a girl like Susan") Dawson's Creek (I Don't Wanna Wait!") Charmed Three's Company Family Matters Passions (soap opera theme) |
Like Sands through the Hour glass so are the Days of Our Lives

How could I forget Absolutely Fabulous?!
"Wheels on fire, rolling down the road...best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall exploooooooooooooooooode..." :thumbsup: |
The I Love Lucy theme song. I know it by heart:
