Default What show had the best theme song, S&S, Grady, or Sanford Arms?

I pick Grady as number one followed by Sanford Arms and the sanford and son which always had a plain theme song to me LOL

I cast my vote for the Real McCoy; Sanford and Son. There's nothing about the show I didn't like!

Sanford and Son no contest! Those other two themes are plain and corny! Sanford and Son is funky and catchy! Grady and the Sanford Arms sounded like something out the 1930 and 40s.

Solomon, either you're trying to be funny, or you got bad taste in music.

I think you are caught in the fact that S&S was the better show and not removing yourself from that and just listening to the themes.

Solomon, if I liked Grady and Sanford Arms better than Sanford and Son, I'd still say Sanford and Son had the better theme. Just to let you know, with you posting those themes up there, that's not my first time hearing Grady and Sanford Arms theme songs. I've heard them long enough to know they got corny music and not very catchy. I know my music. lol

I'm not familiar with either one, but the SnS theme, to me, would still be my favorite. I think it is as iconic as the "I Love Lucy", "Bonanza", "The Waltons", etc. themes. And it does always make me smile. And I can always use one of those!

Thanks for posting these, but man!!! No comparison to the SnS theme imo. The "Grady" theme sounded like you let 26 kids in a kindergarten class choose a note apiece and have the teacher draw them out of a box one at a time, to compose a tune. The "Sanford Arms" theme sounded like something you'd hear from the organ at a '70's baseball game at the seventh-inning stretch. To each his own, though.

I still think people are thinking of the shows and not focusing on the themes.

But like you said to each his own
