Which Version of the Theme Song Do You Like? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

musicradio77 · 06-11-2004, 09:09 PM

I watched every opening of "Family Ties" that has theme songs by different people. Can you tell us, which version of the theme song do you like?

FamilyTiesGOP · 06-12-2004, 04:44 PM

I'm probably in the minority, but I liked the first version better.

I chose the Johnny Mathis version better than the Danny Tufano one.

I love Johnny Mathis and I have a whole bunch of albums on vinyl.

That's Dennis Tufano, by the way.

Kirstie · 06-14-2004, 05:04 AM

I prefer the Johnny Mathis and Denise Williams one. It might be because I'm more used to it (I started watching the show on TV Land in the later seasons). Since I like singing along to it, and the tune is slightly different in the two versions, now that the first season is on TV Land, I always mess up when trying to sing along.

Oh, I forgot his name.

I was editing the poll and it didn't work.

I like them both, honestly. If I did have to choose, I have to say the first one. Not sure why, but I do.

The first version.

dandelion wine · 03-05-2005, 05:32 AM

I like the Johnny Mathis version better. They are both good though.

robby76 · 08-02-2005, 04:20 AM

The second version is more complete and melodic. It could've been a number one single hit for all we'd know... really turned the "tune" into a proper song.

Either way Family Ties theme is one of the best ones EVER!!! Plus Denise Williams' voice is just legendary for the 80's.
