I have recently noticed a disturbing trend with a lot of today’s tv shows – WHERE HAVE ALL THE AWESOME, CATCHY TV THEME SONGS GONE? So many of today’s popular tv shows are missing good theme songs. Shows like 24, Lost, and Heroes just have noises as their introductions. So for the sake of nostalgia and fun, I am giving my Top 10 TV Theme Songs. Enjoy…
JUST MISSED THE CUT: MATLOCK, PERFECT STRANGERS, FAMILY MATTERS, BOY MEETS WORLD, STEP BY STEP, CSI, ADDAMS FAMILY, THE BRADY BUNCH, and CHIPS.
10. BLOSSOM
9 . THE WONDER YEARS
8. THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
7. THE A-TEAM
6. FULL HOUSE
5. THE SOPRANOS
4. CHEERS
3. FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR
2. BEVERLY HILLS 90210
1. SAVED BY THE BELL
______________
What did I get wrong? What did I leave off my list that should be there? What’s your top 10 list?
Yay BLOSSOM! Anyhow, Mary Tyler Moore is like THE tv theme song! Friends’ theme song has it’s own video. And the song for That 70′s show is just cool.
PS. Taxi had an awesome instrumental theme song.
What about Magnum P.I., Miami Vice, Fraggle Rock, Knight Rider, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original show). There are so many more as well. Good list though, except I hated Save by the Bell, so that would have been left off for me.
Sean, how in the world could you have grown up when you did and not like Saved by the Bell? That’s just wrong.
Brian,
I’m showing my age but what about Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty, Hill Street Blues, Brady Bunch. I agree with Sean, Saved by the Bell should not be at the top of the list.
All I gotta say is…
When I wake up in the morning
And the ‘larm gives out a warning
I don’t think I’ll ever make it on time
By the time I grab my books
And I give myself a look
I’m at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by
It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell
If the teacher pops a test
I know I’m in a mess
And my dog ate all my homework last nite
Riding low in my chair
She won’t know that I’m there
If I can hand it in tomorrow, it’ll be all right
It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell
It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell
It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the
It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the
It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell
Oy… That was hilaRIOUS!!
Brian,
I absolutly LOVE Saved by the Bell!
A few more from Dad and me–Welcome Back, Kotter, The Beverly Hillbillies, the Batman TV show, Gomer Pyle, USMC. Loved your list.
Love the list! I haven’t seen Saved by the Bell in forevor but thats one of my favorite shows ever! The theme song is just as cool as the show.
The Cosby Show (I LOVE watching all of them dance before the show) Roseanne (and she does that creepy laugh at the end), Spongebob, PepperAnne, Rocko’s Modern Life, Hey Arnold….loved your list! my dad is obsessed with The Sopranos theme song, he has it as a ringtone.
