I love it so much that I listened to it 4 Times-lol I love this part of the song below

"There's a New Girl in Town and she's looking good, There's a fresh Freckle Face in the Neighborhood,

LOL

I don't like the first season's version.

I love the theme song in the early years (seasons 1-3). It was slower and jazzier. I HATED the faster one in the 80s.

It was an OK song...I actually own it on one of those TV theme CDs. I think the one I have was from one of the early seasons.

I'm so used to seeing Linda Lavin as Wentworth from Barney Miller that I have trouble adjusting to her as Alice...even though that was her signature role...

I love the theme song. It's one of the best sitcom songs of all time IMO. I got a chill seeing it tonight. I can't believe Alice is back on tv.

They better show all the episodes.

It's a decent song.

I love the Alice theme song for the first few seasons as well. I forgot to watch it last night because I was watching the last few episodes of my Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman dvds. I'll record it, starting tonight.

Yeah, they're both really jazzy. That's what alot of the shows now are lacking a really good theme song.

My favorite one is the 3rd season. They had 2 versions (although they were pretty much the same, one was more "echo-y", and the "So Sweeeeeet" part was different). Next favorite would be the 4th season.

The echo effect is cool. I prefer that version.

I *love* the first two theme songs. The original version was used for the first two seasons I think, with the next version (with the new lyrics) being used for three, four, five, and six, and the uptempo arrangement of that version being used for seasons seven through nine.

The first two just bring me BACK to when I watched the show religiously on TNN back in the 1999-2000 timeframe. The first one is probably my favorite because it fit the show so well and the lyrics pretty much told you the feel of the show.

I do have to say, though, that by the fourth or fifth season, Alice was no longer a "newwwwwwww girl in town!!!!!!" so I wonder if they ever thought of changing it up...
