These theme songs will blow away those theme songs you just listed. I can't believe YOU like those theme songs you listed. Those are some of the worse!

I like the Jefferson's theme! As Brian says, it's become a classic. I remember singing it in the moving van when we moved from an apartment to our house in the country - it seemed so appropriate!!

And I know we've talked about this before, but I like the Fresh Prince theme too!

It's the Fact Of Life theme that makes my skin crawl!! I go around screaming it in this hidious voice whenever it comes on - cracks my husband up.

Here is the exact quote from the TV Guide Critic in 1975

"The Jeffersons have, you see, moved up in the world. In the words of an awful song at the start of the show, they've "moo-hoo-hooved" up to the East "side-hide-hide" to a deluxe apartment in the "sky-hi-hie" because they've finally got a "piece of the pie-hi-hie"

TV Guide-Feb 28, 1975

LOL-LOL

TripperFan · 06-04-2005, 05:00 PM

LOL!

Meanwhile, ask that same reviewer now, and he'll probably eat his words since it went on to be such a big hit!!

Critics!! Garbagemen who got a desk job!!!

Here is his statement about the actual show

"Meanwhile, what we know is that this show is not good, pretty good, or even fairly good. At best it is not bad."

Four Months Later Jeffersons finish #4 in Ratings-lol

Point made!!

Meanwhile, more recently, weren't critics saying "Joan of Arcadia" was the best new show bar none - that everyone should be watching this...yada...yada and now it's been cancelled. It's all just personal tastes. Laverne & Shirley - huge hit!! Can barely stomach it!
