Most shows before the 90s had themes that even if they weren't spectacularly classic at least defined the show. The 90s gave way to themeless shows or bland unoriginal music.

I like so many: The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Room 222, Get Smart, Mary Tyler Moore (the version with Who can turn the world on with her smile?), I Dream of Jeannie's first theme, Maude, Good Times, Cosby Show (I like Jr Walker at the Apollo the best), Danny Thomas Show, Taxi, Dallas and One Day at a Time.

The following shows had great opening theme songs IMHO:

Alice
The Andy Griffith Show
The Brady Bunch
Diff'rent Strokes
Growing Pains (as long as they got B. J. Thomas!)
Hill Street Blues
Laverne and Shirley
Love, American Style
Our House
The Rockford Files
The Waltons
WKRP in Cincinnati

[EmoJoe]

I thought Brady Bunch had a good theme song, too

Since I liked a lot, ill just go with my favorite....

Cheers - Where Everybody Knows Your Name



It has nothing to do with being my favorite show, I liked the themesong before I liked the show.

Cheers, Family Ties, and Growing Pains

Boy Meets World had a great one in the last 3 seasons.

Family Ties, Family Matters, Step by Step, Cheers, Wings(the first opening, the long version), Saved by the Bell, Happy Days

Totally agree! The 1982-1987 KL opening with the black background and the pictures scrolling across the screen was CLASSIC.

I love Roseanne's theme song, especially how it changed every season, but was still the same basic song. The "rock" version of season six is my favorite, but I also like the lyrics.

When people list the most memorable tv openings, it always amazes me that they leave out Roseanne's kitchen table scene- a scene which bascially summed up the entire series and was synonimous with the show. Like the theme song, I loved how it changed every season, but was still the same basic scene.

The openings I hate the most are the ones that are 5 seconds long and the ones that only show clips of actors from the show. come up with something original!
