okay. do carry on. :)

*raucously* HELP! HELP! here come the bears! HELP! HELP! here come the bears! HELP! HELP! here come the bears! let's split! *g*

Here are a few of the ones I like the most that were not previously mentioned:

I would agree with Carey about the ABC TGIF lineup being some of the worse themes out there, but the My Two Dads one is very way up there (.oO YOU Can COUNT on ME...Oo.)

Guuuuuys....� how can you neglect Nerf Herder and their work of wonders that is the Buffy theme song?� Angel's theme song is pretty cool, too...

I'm partial to these:

quantum leap.� macgyver.� highlander koz it was queen.� barney miller and night court because they were good jazz.

greatest american hero because it made one hell of a quartet arrangement. :D

sanford & son koz it had grit.

growing pains as done by rockappella.

mr. belvedere.� hah!

i love old TV themes.� i used to like them more than i liked the shows more often than not.� especially as a kid ...

�-= george =-

forgot about the a-team.� good stuff there. :D

in the same vein of good stryle themes, hill street blues goes up there with cheers.

�-= george =-

i have been earwormed with the theme from 'the munsters' ever since regis and kelly used it for a halloween segment the other day.

other earwormy ones/great ones/ones that stick in my head:

~sanford and son

~the muppets{duh!}

~the dukes of hazzard

~three's company

~fat albert and the cosby kids

~the warner brothers theme song

~the flintstones

~green acres

~my three sons

~petticoat junction

~the patty duke show

~leave it to beaver

~the facts of life

~diff'rent strokes

~family ties{gotta love johnny mathis!!}

and of COURSE

~the smurfs

yes, i know i am showing my age but pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!!!

and now i am earwormed with the 'diff'rent strokes' theme...........................

some that are probably obscure (and not)...but great if you can find them

"That's Living Alright" from Auf Wiedersehen Pet...great gem of a BBC show

Reading Rainbow

old Sesame Street

The Office (another obscure BBC...but more current)

Royal Family ...sung by Oasis

the office is OBSCURE??!

oh dear. you north americans lead sheltered lives.

*ducks* ;D

I know there were two growing pains themes. Same song, different singers. In the later years it was an a cappella one. Perhaps that's the confusion...maybe the later one WAS Rockapella but the earlier one was not.

i didn't think that many people knew about it.� I guess it's only recently started on BBC amercia (i don't know for sure...we don't get it).� Richard brough the first season on video with him when he moved here last year...and he just bought it on DVD few weeks back.�

I like the show...but only in small doses....i guess it just reminds me too much of where i work. David Brent is definatly like my boss (scary as that may seem) and Gareth is a mirror image (looks and personality wise) of a former employee.� Tim is the best imo.

Rockapella never did the Growing Pains theme... its someone else who put Rockapella's name on their stuff to get it downloaded..������� ^_^

No one sings a high tenor like C. Scott Leonard IV...(the fourth)

Leonard... .C. Scott... Leonard..... The Fourth......... _{i'm gonna need some backup here..}

dont worry if that didnt make any sense.. only someone who's heard Pella do The Hollie's "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" live.. would know where that came from. ^_^ MUAHAHAAHAHA

yes... i'm obsessed... not quite as obsessed as i am with Sean Lennon... but still obsessed...

ack...I can't believe I didn't mention The Brady Bunch!� Granted, it is late-60s. It's just one of those very sing-a-longable�theme songs�(and one of those annoying�ones that�stays earwormed forever).

Ooh..also Max Headroom, Sledgehammer, Mad About You, and Thirtysomething�had pretty�decent theme songs.��

i LOVE the diff'rent strokes theme song. i have two cds of tv theme songs and i love it. but diffrent strokes is up there with the top five favs.

jen

I saw 'Family Ties' listed, and started racking my brain for other 80's themes.� 'Silver Spoons' and 'Charles In Charge' were pretty good from that time frame.

And thanks, ChrisChin, for mentioning Sledge Hammer.� I thought I was the only one who remembered the show (although, I forgot the theme until I saw your post).

Animaniacs!

-Lisa (with baloney in my slacks)

BJ and the Bear

Air Wolf

two of my favorite shows (and catchy themes) when i was a kid

The Patty Duke Show has the most earwormable theme song ever. I will now be singing� oO But Patty's only seen the sights a girl can see from Brooklyn Heights Oo for like the next week.

Thanks!

Bewitched

The Jeffersons

Northern Exposure (even though I generally hate the harmonica)

The Price Is Right

*goes to check*� most recent visitor was on 10/29/03. *blink*� this scares me.

Thinking of instantly recognizable instrumentals, no one does it like the Ventures.

what about the flintstones? and the jetsons? :)

and homer simpson's version of the flintstones?

o/' simpson, homer simpson... o/' *g*

buck rogers in the 25th century.

valerie and valerie's family.� i still remember the themes, too.� annoyingly catchy. (:

perfect strangers.� now that i think about it, it�was a rather inspirational theme song...

head of the class.� just way cool.

who's the boss was cheesy but memorable.

and now i can't get silver spoons out of my head ...� sigh.

"bedebedebedebedebede.� right away, buck."
