You may have seen Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton sing the theme to "All in the Family", but Nell Carter actually sang the theme song to "Gimme a Break" as well as have the lead role.

What other TV Shows had the main actors sing the Theme song?

Alan Thicke - Growing Pains


I don't think so. He may have helped write it. But I'm fairly sure he did not sing it. I believe Jennifer Warren and BJ Thomas sang it.

You are right. It was BJ Thomas. I'm sure that many of you already know this but Alan Thicke's ex- wife Gloria Loring sang the Facts Of Life theme song. I think that she also wrote it :) .

I thought I remembered Charlotte Rae singing part of the theme to FOL, at one point. (She wasn't one who could carry a tune, though! :lol:)
