Ian · 11-17-2000, 08:56 PM

I loved the theme from "welcome back, kotter"

TJ · 11-18-2000, 04:21 AM

from the 80's - I think Cheers is my favorite
, but I would also include Family Ties and Diff'rent Strokes

from the 70's - my favorite is Happy Days, WKRP and Welcome Back Kotter had great themes as well.. the 70's arguably had the best theme songs of any decade..

and my darkhorse favorite: The Courtship of Eddie's Father

Cokies · 11-25-2000, 07:43 PM

My favories are from:
The Facts of Life
Laverne and Shirley
Dukes of Hazzard (by default)
The Partridge Family

60s: The Addams Family, I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan's Island

70s: The Partridge Family, Welcome Back Kotter, Good Times

80s: Facts of Life, Family Ties, Cheers

90s: Married With Children, Drew Carey, Malcolm in the Middle

But my all-time favorite theme song is actually a cartoon! I grew up in the 80s, and the 80s version of Alvin and the Chipmunks was my favorite Saturday morning cartoon. I used to always get in trouble for turning up the volume to the theme song (so I could dance to it!) while my parents were still sleeping. "Alvin, Simon, Theodore!"

Shapeshifter · 12-08-2000, 12:28 AM

my favourite theme song would have to be
CHARLES IN CHARGE (both versions):

New boy in the neighbourhood
Leaves downstairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me,
Like he's one of the family

Charles In Charge of our days and our nights
Charles In Charge of our wrongs and our rights

And I sing, I want, I want Charles In Charge
of me.

Charles In Charge of our days and our nights
Charles In Charge of our wrongs and our rights

And I sing, I want, I want Charles In Charge of me.

"Perfect Strangers", obviously, but I've also recently become partial to the theme to "It's a Living."

I like All in the Family too, just to hear Edith hit the high note. One of my all time favorites is Grand. Also like DIff'rent Strokes, Facts of Life and Growing Pains.

Mossopp · 01-22-2001, 06:04 PM

The best theme song ever is the one from Laverne and Shirley!

LaverneShirley · 01-22-2001, 09:08 PM

Well, I'm just changin' everything lately. My list is different now. I love theme songs, so in no particular order: Laverne & Shirley, The Facts of Life (all 3 versions), Happy Days (every version, including Rock Around the Clock), Gilligan's Island, Diff'rent Strokes (never seen it, but it has a great theme song!), Green Acres, All in the Family, The Monkees, Bette, I could go on an on... oh! It's a cartoon, but the Pink Panther! And Ducktales! In sixth grade we played it in band. That was fun.. we played the Beach Boys' Barbara Ann, too. And last year we played the Mission: Impossible theme... and this year we played Twist and Shout... but I'll shut up now...

"Well, Laverne is sort of childish" -Shirley

"Childish? Childish? Coming from a grown woman who throws tea parties for her stuffed cat!" -Laverne

"Well at least I don't sew L's on everything I wear!" -Shirley

"Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!" -Laverne

My favorite theme song was from the short lived TV show The Last American Hero starring William Katt as the Hero who couldn't seem to fly. My other favorite theme songs are from the following shows:

The Fall Guy, The Incredible Hulk, The Hogan Family, 7th Heaven, Buck Rogers (show starring Gil Gerard and Erin Gray) and of course Silver Spoons
