What's everyone's favorites? Mine are:

1. Laverne & Shirley : this has to be my absolute favorite!
2. Three's Company
2. Happy Days (Original but the second one is good too)
4. I Dream Of Jeannie
5. Facts Of Life

---
I absolutely love the Laverne & Shirley theme. I personally think it's the best even if the show isn't my absolute favorite. A great theme for a great show..the others are good too. I love Who's The Boss but I think their theme needs a little work. The lyrics are good but the sound isn't too appealing

I like the first 2 Happy Days theme, but didn't like it when they remixed it for the last season.

yayy!! Happy Days and L&S got a lot of votes! lolol anyways.
I think to have a good theme song you have to have a good music and lyrics...I think that even if you HATE the show...you KNOW the theme to the BRady Bunch. Am I right??? Sherwood Schwartz is a genius. His themes had the stories IN them, so he wouldnt have to explain them later on. Anyways, heres my list:

Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Brady Bunch, Gilligans Island, Mr.Ed! Growing Pains, Step by Step, Nanny, WKRP, Greatest American Hero (Never seen the show,, but I LOVE the song "Believe it Or Not"), Beverly Hillbillies, Cheers (dont like the show, love the song), Facts of Life, DIffrent strokes,Welcome Back Kotter, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, One Day @ A Time, Jeffersons, Threes Company, Love Boat, American Bandstand.
Im sure theres more...but I LOVe all those. Even if I dont like the show, the theme just makes you wanna watch it, ya know?

I didn't like the last theme, either. Maybe that's part of the reason they got low ratings that season.

1. The Facts of Life
2. LA Law
3. Laverne & Shirley
4. One Day at a Time

Well, now that I think of it, I have lotsa favorite theme songs! Some more-Rugrats, Mary Tyler Moore, 7th Heaven, Pettycoat Junction, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Greatest American Hero, The Gary Shandling Show, WKRP, The Jeffersons...there's probably more

I've got a story...My friends and I were sitting in class not doing anything, and I was humming The Facts of Life theme. Well, the boy next to me starts singing it out loud lol. So, I started singing, then the girl next to me got to singing, and the girl next to her started singing too. After we were done singing that, the girl next to me starts belting out the Three's Company theme, & we all join in. Then the girl next to her starts singing Laverne & Shirley theme! It was like something out of a movie like a sing-a-long or something. The teacher didn't even notice. :happyface

LOL! That happened at our school once. We were in the cafeteria for band practice and someone tried to play the Golden Girls theme on their flute. They couldn't do it, so everyone started to sing it. A teacher passed through the cafeteria, and she was like "Yeeaahh....Okaaaaaay...."

I'm currently addicted to the Its a Living theme song. The Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman one too.

Yikes,

Except for Curb Your Enthusiasm, those are some pretty terrible shows, all recent and all with only one season or less to their credit.

I hoped you just liked the themes.

It's sad but I actually LIKED all of those shows.Why is it that the shows with the best theme songs always get cancelled the quickest? :confused:
