which beging of the theme song do you like better there,s a place youve gotta go for learning or yo u take the good you take the bad

Definately "You take the good you take the bad the take 'em both....."

I cannot stand the first Season Theme song. And as far as the "Take the good..." version, it changes a little over the years. I like it best during Seasons 2-6. Starting with Season 7, it gets more upbeat and fast. It's good, but I prefer the 2nd one.

"You take the good, you take the bad..."

"You take the good you take the bad..." for sure. The music is so simple but so good and catchy. I agree, after the sixth season the theme song was still good but a bit fast and more legato which to me didn't sound as good.

The first season one is weird. Especially how the lady sings "When books are what you're there about...", her voice shakes, and when she sings "When the boys you used to hate you date I guess you best investigate" the staccato is like way over done.

Do you guys like the end credits song?

UM...THAT "LADY" IS CHARLOTTE RAE-MRS. GARRETT AKA MRS. G

DON'T MESS WITH HA (AS JO WOULD SAY

)

I LOVE THE LYRICS TO BOTH THE THEMES, AND WAS THINKING, HOW MANY OTHER SHOWS HAD A DIFFERENT OPENING CREDIT THEME VS. A CLOSING THEME? DO YOU KNOW? WITH EACH NEW THEME, THOUGH, THEY KEPT A PIECE OF THE ONES BEFORE. PRETTY COOL

HOW COULD YA NOT LOVE...

"THERE'S A PLACE YA GOTTA GO FOR LEARNING ALL YA WANT TO KNOW, ABOUT THE FACTS OF LIFE, THE FACTS OF LIFE.

WHEN THE BOOKS ARE WHAT YOU'RE THERE ABOUT, AND LOOKS ARE WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT...

"WHEN THE BOYS YOU USED TO HATE YA DATE, I GUESS YA BEST INVESTIGATE THE FACTS OF LIFE. THE FACTS OF LIFE.

WHEN THE WORLD NEVER SEEMS, TO BE LIVING UP TO YOUR DREAMS...

WHEN YA HEAR IT FROM YOUR BROTHER, BETTER CLEAR IT WITH YOUR MOTHER..."

I LOVE THOSE LINES. AND THEY, TOO, ARE CATCHY, AND TRUE, OF COURSE. CUZ THOSE ARE THE FACTS OF LIFE, AND THE FACTS OF LIFE ARE ALL ABOUT YOU. YOUUUUU

The 1st season theme was cute, but not well sung (sorry Charlotte). The next season they brought in Gloria Loring (ex-DAYS, Ex- Alan Thicke) and she did a great job. I'm not sure I like the harder-edged theme they used later from season 6 on. It was bit too "pop", but still great!

I like the theme from seasons 6-9 the best.
