  • The second version of the Opening Theme sequence, from the third season. A clip of this version has already been uploaded, but this one preserves the very beginning, with the shot of the WTC. Enjoy!

    Addendum: Bad news for Molly fans. The series isn't on DVD because of one of the things that made it so good: the music. More specifically, the rights to the music...

    I used to live in the east coast and moved to Cali as a kid, I always thought when I got older I was going to live in NY and be the male version of this show. Many it's 30 years later and how different life turned out to be! Man seeing and hearing this theme takes me back.

    I absolutely adored this show. It was so bright shiny in my world. I was going through divorce recovery and I relied on Molly to make me feel better about everything. Each character on that show was a joy. It needs to rerun somewhere because it is timeless.

    Man, I used to love this show! I used to love the theme song (I had a mixtape where I dubbed it from a VHS Hi-Fi VCR), and how could you not love Blair Brown!

    Loved, loved, loved the theme music! For some reason, it makes me think of Al Jarreau's fabulous music (Spain). I never missed this show. We need the complete series on dvd - now!

      It's the electric piano Al and this song features, called Fender Rhodes. It gives a warm feel to any song.

    I like the season one opening so much better than the season two opening. The mixture of still shots and video give it an artistic quality, as well as giving a snapshot into Molly's mixture of solitude and social interaction.
    The second opening looks like something that was slapped together quickly and on the cheap when the show moved to Lifetime.

      GO! It's like nothing you will ever experience. You don't even need to do the touristy stuff. Just find a place to sit and watch... I was born and raised there. I always said if I hadn't I would have moved right after high school.

    I don't know why - But I always feel content when I watch & hear that soundtrack - I watched tD&NoMD way back in the 1980s when it was shown in the U.K. - I was in my early 20s back then & I liked Blair Brown - But now listening to this theme I get this feeling ? Thank you for sharing !

      It was such a great show - Yeah ! I dont know why I get this feeling of contentment when I watch this title from Days & - Nights of Molly - I was a young white boy brought up in Yorkshire England brought up in aloving Christian family ! - When I watched this back in the 80s -I had never visited NYC never mind lived there ....( not this life anyway ?)
      Why do I get these feelings ? I'm nearly 60 years old now and watching this gave me the same feelings as back then ! -Strange ?

      According to Blair Brown they can't because they never locked in the music rights to songs that were played/she sang. The cost would be huge.

    Molly Dodds Episode I fondly remember - Is the one were Molly is awoken by something in the kitchen - She goes to investigate and its the ghost of Mollys Dad at the kitchen sink doing her washing up while waiting to give her some advice ! that episode made such an impression that I promised my daughter I'd come and do her washing up for her !!!

    I watched Molly Dodd because of the excellent acting by the charming Blair Brown & Allyn Ann McLerie who played Molly’s mother. My favorite scene is when Molly was in the hallway trying to get to her apartment and she told a man that, “you’re blocking my access & egress”. I had to look up the meaning of egress in the dictionary. I found much of the show boring, as there wasn’t much plot, but I loved the subtle and offbeat humor in many of the episodes & the haunting melody of the opening theme.

    Like a lot of releases I've seen for older shows, like bosom buddies I noticed they'd use another song all together. Why don't they pick a copyright free version of some similar sounding song and you fans will be seeing this show again. Me? I hardly remember it because it was on either when I was watching something else religiously on it's time slot I can't remember (unless it was a show my sister liked which wasn't this and refuses to miss) or I was too young at 9 to really get into this show.

At the time I saw that episode, I thought he was making that up, lol, as I sadly never saw this show, but after watching the opening credits, I now desperately want to see it.
