They play retro tv themes in and amongst their usual playlist. BuddyHinton 07-10-2007, 10:31 AM Welcome Back, Kotter. I'm conviced after Netflixing this show we could not have liked it for the comedy/acting (imo, a turd) and must have been hypnotized by the song.

The show lasted 7 weeks. The song stayed on the top 100 for 24. Another theme-larger-than-show example I can think of is "Angie". megamanj2004 07-30-2007, 06:21 PM S.W.A.T. - lasted 1 1/2 seasons from February 1975 - 1976, was a top radio hit in the '70s. factsoflife 08-05-2007, 04:31 AM The Heights was a FOX series in the early 1990's that lasted about 6 weeks before it was cancelled, however it's theme song "How To Talk To An Angel" (or something of that vein) was a chart hit, hitting the top 50 of the year. Zoneboy 08-05-2007, 06:21 AM I thought this thread looked familiar. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=204780&highlight=theme Zoneboy 08-05-2007, 06:24 AM S.W.A.T. - lasted 1 1/2 seasons from February 1975 - 1976, was a top radio hit in the '70s. The Theme from S.W.A.T by Rhythm Heritage was one of only 4 tv themes to hit #1 on the Billboard charts. The Others were: Welcome Back by John Sebastian Theme from Miami Vice by Jan Hammer How Do You Talk to an Angel - The Heights Mr. Television 08-05-2007, 11:07 AM S.W.A.T. - lasted 1 1/2 seasons from February 1975 - 1976, was a top radio hit in the '70s. S.W.A.T. was a great show. The reason it didn't last was not because it wasn't popular but because parents objected to the violence and the fact that their kids were imitating them. I know, I was one of the kids. :lol: |
