My favorites have to be Facts of Life and Happy Days. Laverne & Shirley, Different Strokes and Maude have good themes too!
Other. My three favorites- Mary Tyler Moore, Cheers, and Too Close for Comfort- aren't on the list.

This is kind of hard, I like most of the themes you listed. I'll have to cast my vote for Diff'rent Strokes theme.

I like Laverine and Shirely, Happy Days, and Diff'rent Strokes, but I also like the theme to Mary Tyler Moore, Family Ties, and Silver Spoons. And I especially love the theme song to Perfect Strangers. The lyrics are great.
Other
I think:
The Hogan Family (Through the Years)
Three's Company (Three Is Company Too!)
Facts of Life (Learning the Facts of Life)
Alice (There's a New Girl in Town)
Barney Miller (Title?)
New Dick Van Dyke Show (Title?)

Other. Even though the lyrics weren't sung, I enjoyed the themes to The Dick Van Dyke Show, Bewitched and Mash. As for songs, I enjoyed Cheers, Family Ties and Mary Tyler Moore. Also, it was hard to refrain from singing along to that silly ditty on The Beverly Hillbillies, for me anyway. Same for The Jeffersons--now there was a catchy tune.

I already remembered, I forgot "Car 54 Where Are You?" "3rd Rock From the Sun," "The Nanny," "Sanford and Son," "King of the Hill," "Home Improvement," and Raymond's closing theme. Even though it's short, it's really jazzy.

Hello, all.
I'd definitely have to say the theme from Cheers was the best. That one wasn't like a theme song...it sounded like it could have be released as a radio single!
CHEERS ROCKS!

When I was a kid, I had the 45 single of the Laverne and Shirley theme song "Making Our Dreams Come True." I used to play it over and over. I was excited when I found a CD a few years ago that had it on it. I don't play it as often as I used to, but I still enjoy it just as much when I hear it.
