Apparently the full theme song is very hard to come by. But here it is.

And here's the same song but with stills of the beautiful city of cincinatti as the video. The first one really has no video, just audio.

I listened to it myself. (The one at the top, without the visuals, is no longer operable, by the way. Of course, there were some "modern" elements of the visuals like the new Bengals' and Reds' stadia, the latter which was noted by the more contemporary Reds logo. But I digress!) The song is the version Steve Carlisle put out that charted in 1981, right?

It seems to be the one I've found in the past; that is, a slideshow of Cincinatti images set to the Steve Carlisle single. I wonder if someone has put out a similar show on Youtube, but using pics from the series?

I've always liked the theme song, as well as the rock theme with gibberish lyrics that played over the closing credits.

Anyone else think the closing theme sounded like AC/DC?

I assumed it was an actual song for the longest time, and that the singer was just drunk off his ass.

^ Yeah, it did kind of sound like AC/DC. Here are both the opening and closing themes.

Wow it's been forever since I looked at this last. It's definitely Carlisle. I love this version even more than the one used in the show. Great memories.
