TV Show theme songs

Freddy reminded me of that terrible but catchy theme song from the Facts of Life, any other theme songs from tv shows that stick to your head, no matter how long it has been since you watched the show or heard the song, BTW CSI shows donot count since they use The Who for their theme songs.

One that sticks in my head is the theme to the Love Boat, I have not seen an episode for at least 20 + plus years but I can still sing every line in that god forsaken song.

Suicide Is Painless from M*A*S*H*

Duck Tales......woohoo.

Just some good ole boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you ever saw been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born...

I can't remember any of the words to the "Family Ties" theme song, but I always remember that it ended with this annoyingly gay "Sha-la-la-laaaaaaa" that made me cringe every time I heard it.

The theme to Welcome Back Kotter. Weeeeellllllllcome back, your dreams were your ticket out.

Freddie Prinze show 'Chico and the Man'

Chico don't be discouraged/ blah blah blah'

I can't believe someone else actually remembers Chico And The Man. For a long time I thought I had hallucinated it.

NOTHING is hipper than Quincy Jones' theme song to Sanford & Son though....

The theme to Silver Spoons was kinda catchy.

"Here we are
Face to face
A coupla Silver Spoons
Hoping to to find
We're 2 of a kind...
something, something
something something
Together, we're gonna find our way!"

Detuned, I have a vauge recollection of Chico and the Man. I was pretty young, but I know I must've watched it. I don't remember the them song though.

What's Happenin' has a funky theme song too. I loved that show.

The Jeffersons

"We're movin' on up...to the East Side...to a deeeeluxe apartment..."

Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell,
But I've been seen with Farrah.
I'm never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.

I've been on fire with Sally Field,
Gone fast with a girl named Bo,
But somehow they just don't end up as mine.

It's a death defyin' life I lead,
I take my chances.
I die for a livin' in the movies and TV.
But the hardest thing I ever do
Is watch my leadin' ladies
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knee.

I might fall from a tall building,
I might roll a brand new car.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.

I never spend much time in school
But I taught ladies plenty.
It's true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.

I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I end up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey.

I might jump an open drawbridge,
Or Tarzan from a vine.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.

The Fall Guy! Haha,that one came to mind Manny.Heres another:

Believe it or not I'm walking on air

Greatest American Hero, I can't believe I still remember that song, when I was a kid I used to love this show, but I was a big super hero/comic book geek back then, I guess I still am since I love watching super hero movies and cartoons.

Chico And The Man wasnt too bad of a show, havent seen it in a long time though.

Diff'rent strokes had an irritating damn theme song.

Thankfully I do not remember the theme song to 'Different Strokes' I know I watched the show because I can still recall the characters and the catch phrase 'What you talking about, Willis' god did that show suck.

Now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum
What might be right for you may not be right for some
Then a man was born, he's a man of means
And along come two, they got nuthin' but their jeans
But they got Diff'rent Strokes
It takes Diff'rent Strokes
It takes Diff'rent Strokes to rule the woooooooorrrrrrld!

OK now I'm starting to scare myself a little...

That's a good one. Always liked that show.

How'bout this monstrosity? Worst theme song ever. Hell, worst TV sit-com ever, and that's really sayin' something.

Never heard of that show...probably a good thing.

You ain't missing anything bud. I dont' think anyone involved with "Small Wonder" ever worked in Hollywood again.

Seriously though, it sucked out loud.

She was workin' in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens
Till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes
What was she to do? Where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door
She was there to sell makeup but the father saw more
She had style! She had flair! She was THERE!
That's how she became... the NANNY....


I totally would have nailed Fran Drescher back then. She had legs for days. But OY, that voice...
