for tv time i was usually sitting in the lazboy with my mom. at some point i got big enough that the two of us in the same chair was more like being wedged in there, and my elbow to her belly was the only way i could get out of that chair. she got tired of my elbow to the gut, and started changing channels herself.
My parents' joke for us kids was that we were born because there weren't remote controls yet. Now when when my elderly mother gets apologetic for asking me to get up and do something for her, I remind her now that we have remote controls, I need a purpose in life. 😉
I agree so much with with everybody. Growing up in the 70s and 80s we would play in the the neighborhood streets until the the street lights came on them we would come home and watch these classic TV shows. Life was good. Thank you for letting all of us relive so many great memories!
It was really cool to be a kid during this era. I hope the kids of today can have at least ½ of the good memories from today's era as we do/did from the 70's.

That is my favorite show of all time. I practically know the scripts by heart I've seen them so much. When Jeopardy had MASH as a category I swept it easily.😍😍😍
I’m surprised The Love Boat and Dallas themes weren’t included. Regardless it was great tripping down memory lane again. I got most of them except for about four.
Thank you so much for an EXCEPTIONALLY well prepared and presented romp through memory lane! I'm enamored of your graphics and production techniques employed to take the promotional photos of the shows represented and "freshen" them up, add them to a background that has a depth and vibrance that makes the picture really pop! It's obvious that this channel is made by some real professionals!
Well thanks for the great trip down memory lane! I'm 70 so I grew up with all of those shows. ...😎 I'm going back to listen to the Laverne & Shirley theme song again!
I remember the old game show "Name That Tune" where people would have to guess with the fewest number of notes. Like, "I can name that tune in 3 notes". I could get most of these just about that quickly. That represents a lot of misspent youth in front of the TV I guess.
Fun stuff, "thank you" and the photos were beautiful. Only thing missing that I would have liked to have heard and seen on here would have been "The Mod Squad".
Wowza. Thank you for the memories. Loved singing every one of these. I can see myself sitting on the floor watching these. I knew all of them within a few seconds other than McCloud. Clearly I watched a lot of TV in the 70’s while growing up. Even more Interesting is that I haven’t watched TV for about 20 years. In fact, I cannot even remember the last series I watched. I wish we could go back to great tv like this but I know that is to going to happen. I do feel blessed to have grown up in the 70’s and to have experienced good quality television programs like these shows.
@@tejaswoman Thanks. I even liked All in the Family. Even though Archie Bunker, was kind of a racist jerk at times... but Edith was a sweetheart...I loved her. Thanks for your comment, GOD Bless you. 🌻
Soap was twisted.... And it was supposed to be because it was a mockery of the daytime soap opera.... That's why it aired on TV at night. I loved it's dry and twisted humor. P.S. Bob is missing again.
Oh My GOD! …….. I was a teenager in the 70s and created a game we would play just like this. Except to get my 'sound track' I parked in front of the TV with a cassette tape recorder and held the microphone to the speaker. No telling how many hours that took. Thank you for the fond memories!
😵💫😲I remember doing that too, with my cassette recorder!! ☺️☺️ Although, I recorded themes of movie soundtracks that were appealing/memorable/moving to me, because I knew the networks (all 3 of them 🤭) weren't going to repeat a showing for at least another year - - if they were repeated at all. One movie that will always be in my heart is the theme to the movie "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" ❤️by Dave Grusin with the lead actor, Alan Arkin.
Now that was a lot of fun, and brought back a lot of memories of my youth. There was only about 12 out of probably over 30 songs that I didn't recognize. Watched all of those shows with the exception of about 10 of them. Most of those were from the early to late 70s, encompassing my childhood and early teenage years. Lot of fun
Beth Applegate EMERGENCY! theme song is my ringtone, all time favorite show! I meet Randy Mantooth last summer, he was just a nice as you would think he would be. I tell you 12 yr old me was going nuts but 58 yr old me was cool as a cucumber.🤣
People keep commenting about what you left out. I want to say how impressed I am there are so many women-led-show themes... and now the Muppets! I would never have thought about that one!
I could've done without the Muppets, that was for little kids--I sure didn't watch that crap in the 70's! "Women-led" shows: well you know, that was the age of Women's Lib--too bad that never went anywhere... ;)
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 You might think that because they're puppets, so the show seems to have a children's aesthetic, yet the dialogue is unquestionably sharp-edged, witty, and thematically skewed to adults.
Aren't you a good little politically correct social justice warrior snowflake! You counted up all the women-led shows (oh brother). Make America Great Again! MAGA!
100%. The people responding are obviously pseudo SJW. A d not alive then. Christian Liberation obviously has done at least the negative research from then. But it was a good time. Well, except or New York, who was begging for more police because their city was a shi*hole. And the resulting disaster of gangs taking over. Which is going to happen pretty quickly again with the “progressive” policies now. Sad, but true. Mike, I’m with you.
@@mangot589 Really? I only missed five and American institutional racism has been damned obvious my whole life. Maybe not to people with their heads up their butts.
I missed "The Bionic Woman." Let's face it, it is iconic but who in the heck actually WATCHED IT? Good to see Lindsay Wagner (and Lee Majors) are still with us and looking goood! (hey, why no "Chico and the Man?")
You only have to hear that first note of Barney Miller to recognize it. Great song. Just as great show. My family still gets a lot of mileage out of Barney Miller quotes. “Squishy, squishy.” lol
I forgot four, which I had never really followed: Starsky&Hutch, Soap, Emergency, and McCloud. All of the rest I guessed within 5 notes, having grown up in the 70s.
There are great shows today. The difference is we don't all watch them together. Same time, same episode, all waited in anticipation for the next show - together. Together is precious word. We don't even use it as much anymore. That was the special ingredient. Along with some super bad ass theme songs
Y’all did a very good job with this it was so pleasant to do my chores and have memories flood to the point where more than my mirrors got clean. I think this is the most therapeutic video I have listened to in a good long time. So I recommend you start a 70s for therapy sitcom channel
If you don't have cable , and you just watch on air TV , then you can watch "Antenna TV" . It's a network of oldies but goodies TV shows such as: SOAP,BARNEY MILLER, THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM, GEORGE BURNS AND GRACIE ALLEN, ALICE,MAUDE,WELCOME BACK KOTTER,THREE'S COMPANY, BACHELOR FATHER, FATHER KNOWS BEST,DENNIS THE MENACE,SILVER SPOONS, AND MANY MORE OF THEM ARE ON THIS NETWORK.
As someone who watches zero TV nowadays, I’m shocked that I knew all of these (except McCloud…must have missed that show). There was something magical about TV in the 70s. Each night was a family event. Miss those days. Hearing some of these again made me cry (especially the Muppets lol)!
Glad you used "All In The Family" since that show basically gave 40% of those Spin-off shows from this theme Trivia a chance to be popular which they were.
Mark Gardner I wanted to add “something different.” Like I thought it would’ve been interesting to add a show that wasn’t technically on it’s own show. You know what I mean? :)
@@songtrivia Well now you can just upload the entire Mystery Movie theme as it's own video, and blame popular demand, because this thread is mildly popular, and I demand! ;)
Gen X. We really were the television generation. I literally could name every single one within 2-3 seconds of opening notes lol EDIT I didn’t know McCloud. It either didn’t run in syndication or was after my bedtime LOL
I missed emergency so don't feel bad. But let's be honest. We would play outside all day. Run inside every once in awhile to grab a mayor McCheese glass full of kool-aid and while we were in there catch a Jim Croce or Olivia Newton John song on the radio and head back out. Come in for a home cooked dinner at the table with the most important people in the world to you. Then settle in with these shows till mom tucked you in. Its no wonder we can't forget these shows. Who would want to.
The 'McCloud' one was the only one I missed, got all the others. Wasn't it packaged with 'The Sunday Night Mysteries' with 'Columbo' and 'MacMillan and Wife'? Yeah, on after my bedtime but my parents watched them.
Great video with a lot of great memories. But I did think of a couple that you left off. You should have definitely added the Six million dollar man, and SWAT to the list. Thanks. 😎
David Pike I remember there was station WTTV channel 4 I lived in Indiana so I would say 4 stations as a child & Nightmare hosted by Sammy Terry came on every Saturday night at 10 or 11 O'clock on channel 4 & after school we would watch Cowboy Bob & Janie good old 📺 days 😀January 11, 2020
Don't forget "Airwolf" or "Battlestar Galactica". I think this went for a lot of popular shows with not quite memorable themes, along with the ones you have to die to forget. Plus licensing fees.
I subscribe to a streaming service that has most of these shows in the OLDIE TV section. Every so often I tune into one just to reminiss. I was in grade school throught most of the 70s and remember looking forward to alot of these shows every week. Great job and thanks for a trip down memory lane.
The Barney Miller has one of the best bass lines ever. Many don't know it, but pretty much with each season they changed the arrangement of the music. Same song, just played a little differently.

From the 60s through 70s you could sit down and relax watching the Television Programmes, back then the Programmes were free from contemptuous in your face preaching. Whenever a Family viewed television together it provided memorable and important bonding experiences.
I used to watch Three's Company (amongst other shows, but it was my mother's favorite) with my mother when I was about 7 or 8 and the theme song just gives me so much joy.
It just wasn't possible to put them all in! I really would have liked to hear The Rockford Files-even have the single by Mike Post. I'm sure there's a TH-cam video of it here! th-cam.com/video/yg1Cx26-928/w-d-xo.html
Good List. You got Sanford and Son, Hawaii Five-0. and Barney Miller. I would have added The White Shadow and SWAT to round out the "coolest" themes of the 70's.

@@t-bo2734 well it depends what you are talking about. If you are talking about advancements in technology and stuff man has made to make our lives more comfortable then heck yeah it's way better, but the state of humankind as far as violence, drug abuse, homelessness, lawlessness, poverty, murder is horrendous. God told us men would advance from bad to worse and we see that. All these things humans invent and create are becoming more and more are for an escape in our personal lives because the world around is so bad. We sit there and watch the news and think how awful and then the next day we hope in our $100,000 cars to catch a plane for our luxury vacations. As long as these things don't affect us personally we our content in the "bubble" we created to shield us from all that.
Everytime MASH would come on I'd run to my dad hop on his lap and sit and watch it with him. Every time I hear the theme song I get nostalgia!
it always came on before Carson in my house
Did you know the name of the theme? Suicide Is Painless.
Have you seen the MASH movie? It has the lyrics to the theme song Suicide is Painless.
Through early morning fog I see
That is my favorite show of all time. I practically know the scripts by heart I've seen them so much. When Jeopardy had MASH as a category I swept it easily.😍😍😍
That was a fantastic little group of songs ...made me realize how much fun the seventies were. I miss it.
It is interesting to note that many of the 1970's theme songs became top 10 hits on radio.
This was a lot of work to put together, and you did a great job! This was a lot of fun nostalgia for me. Thanks!
I’m surprised The Love Boat and Dallas themes weren’t included. Regardless it was great tripping down memory lane again. I got most of them except for about four.
That was in the 80's section of these videos.
Conversely, some of the intros here were late 60s
And "Rhoda"
Totally agree!! 2 of my favorites
I was expecting to hear Love Boat as well.
Thank you so much for an EXCEPTIONALLY well prepared and presented romp through memory lane! I'm enamored of your graphics and production techniques employed to take the promotional photos of the shows represented and "freshen" them up, add them to a background that has a depth and vibrance that makes the picture really pop! It's obvious that this channel is made by some real professionals!
Thanks for giving my wife and I a little trip down memory lane. It was fun!
Well thanks for the great trip down memory lane! I'm 70 so I grew up with all of those shows. ...😎 I'm going back to listen to the Laverne & Shirley theme song again!
I remember the old game show "Name That Tune" where people would have to guess with the fewest number of notes. Like, "I can name that tune in 3 notes". I could get most of these just about that quickly. That represents a lot of misspent youth in front of the TV I guess.
I was born in 65 got all of them. Thanks for making feel old. I can't remember what I did yesterday. But remember all these shows . Thanks
Fun stuff, "thank you" and the photos were beautiful. Only thing missing that I would have liked to have heard and seen on here would have been "The Mod Squad".
Moonlight Lady mission impossible, Ironsides, kolchak the night stalker,mannix,beretta, and on and on
@@cliffbraun3850 I was also hoping for the mod squad theme, alas no luck
agree I wanted to be julie and have linc and pete for best friends on mod squad!
I agree on a lot of the comments down here but I guess they put them in order of 70's 80''s or wherever this is still great memories !
Mod Squad was more from the late 60s, wasn't it?
Wowza. Thank you for the memories. Loved singing every one of these. I can see myself sitting on the floor watching these. I knew all of them within a few seconds other than McCloud. Clearly I watched a lot of TV in the 70’s while growing up. Even more Interesting is that I haven’t watched TV for about 20 years. In fact, I cannot even remember the last series I watched. I wish we could go back to great tv like this but I know that is to going to happen. I do feel blessed to have grown up in the 70’s and to have experienced good quality television programs like these shows.
For some strange reason, I liked soap. It had a weird type of humor to it. 🤔
The _show_ is strange. *_Liking it_* is not.
@@tejaswoman
Thanks. I even liked All in the Family. Even though Archie Bunker, was kind of a racist jerk at times... but Edith was a sweetheart...I loved her. Thanks for your comment, GOD Bless you. 🌻
I always liked Soap. But the humor was kind of weird.
Soap was twisted.... And it was supposed to be because it was a mockery of the daytime soap opera.... That's why it aired on TV at night.
I loved it's dry and twisted humor.
P.S. Bob is missing again.
@@jimmyfortrue3741
Oh ok, I didn't know that... thanks for the info. ☺
Wow! Many blasts from the past. Thank you for the time and effort this took to put together!
Oh My GOD! …….. I was a teenager in the 70s and created a game we would play just like this. Except to get my 'sound track' I parked in front of the TV with a cassette tape recorder and held the microphone to the speaker. No telling how many hours that took.
Thank you for the fond memories!
😵💫😲I remember doing that too, with my cassette recorder!! ☺️☺️ Although, I recorded themes of movie soundtracks that were appealing/memorable/moving to me, because I knew the networks (all 3 of them 🤭) weren't going to repeat a showing for at least another year - - if they were repeated at all. One movie that will always be in my heart is the theme to the movie "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" ❤️by Dave Grusin with the lead actor, Alan Arkin.
Overall, the best decade for both TV and music. But they didn't include my favorite here, The Six Million Dollar Man.
no the best decade for music was the 80s hands down
My favorite TV show was Emergency.
Quincy M.E.
@@OmgAuntySuzanne16 Quincy? Seriously?...shudder.
@@Frunobulax74 no im not kidding, the 80s was the best in music, movies wrestling
They don't make tv shows like that anymore and is sad😭
No good writers
Some are better, i.e. Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld. Some streaming service original series shows are way better, i.e. Jack Ryan, Man in the High Castle.
No they copy them
Nope just reality shows, not a lot of talent there. I think thats why people are so angry, they can't even escape reality when watching TV.
if they made TV shows like that today.. cancel culture would wipe them out in an instant
Now that was a lot of fun, and brought back a lot of memories of my youth. There was only about 12 out of probably over 30 songs that I didn't recognize. Watched all of those shows with the exception of about 10 of them. Most of those were from the early to late 70s, encompassing my childhood and early teenage years. Lot of fun
Thanks. Brings back a lot of great memories. I wish I could go back in time.
PREACH
If you ever find the time machine, let me know here on TH-cam. I'm game!😎
I watched entirely too much TV in the 70’s lol
What's funny while listening to all these themes. I thought the same thing and damn I'm old lol
Me too! 😆 I'm 54 But they forgot Six Million Dollar Man!
No shit, I knew all but one of these and somehow that's disturbing to me.
Same, lol 😂, and I thought I was outside more!
Apparently so did I Tom....
I'm crying too, remembering how great the seventies were and still are in our minds
I've watched way to much tv. Should have be doing my homework.
Me, too. I got almost every one of them correct. But those were the days!!!
"Should have be doing my homework."
Uh, yeah....especially grammar
Hardly know any of these: was doing me homework .....
GORGEOUS THEME MELODY at 3:55, though, for "Little house on the Prairie".
Yeah same here
Does anyone remember Super train? It was only on for 1 or maybe 2 seasons. Have a great day everyone.
You had my FAVORITE TV show on here!!!! Emergency! Not very popular so I wasn't expecting it and was soooooo excited when I heard the first 2 notes
I loved that show, too, especially Randolph Mantooth.
Same here,. Loved the show, big crush on Randolph Mantooth.
Yeah he was cute but my favorite was Chet, he was so funny
Great show. I still watch Emergency on Cozi TV. Have seen every episode three or four times.
Beth Applegate EMERGENCY! theme song is my ringtone, all time favorite show! I meet Randy Mantooth last summer, he was just a nice as you would think he would be. I tell you 12 yr old me was going nuts but 58 yr old me was cool as a cucumber.🤣
Thanks for the look back. We had great shows in the '70s. We still had only three networks. Many of these shows are still in syndication.
People keep commenting about what you left out. I want to say how impressed I am there are so many women-led-show themes... and now the Muppets! I would never have thought about that one!
Yes! People these days make it out like women-led comedies are new and progressive. How quickly we forget our history.
And the Muppets are a British show...
I could've done without the Muppets, that was for little kids--I sure didn't watch that crap in the 70's! "Women-led" shows: well you know, that was the age of Women's Lib--too bad that never went anywhere... ;)
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 You might think that because they're puppets, so the show seems to have a children's aesthetic, yet the dialogue is unquestionably sharp-edged, witty, and thematically skewed to adults.
Aren't you a good little politically correct social justice warrior snowflake! You counted up all the women-led shows (oh brother). Make America Great Again! MAGA!
omg i remember watching most of these shows when i was little. Dam had good tv back then, unlike the shit we got now.
Totally agree with that!
Brad Dollahite I was born in 2001 and I agree, TV I grew up with sucks
All they show on TV now is reality show crap and news about Hollywood celebrities. They only have a handful of decent show to watch.😩
This was great. Takes me back to the good old days when shows were interesting. 👍🏼👍🏼🥰🥰
wow i just took a trip to my childhood day's. thank you.
Sitcoms were sooo much better back in the day.
Totally agree. More variety of content.
Harry Fox, you got that right
I knew them all too. Miss them. Bring them back
Even better in the 60's.
@@carollund8251 I was just thinking the same thing. But there were some really good shows in the 70's too.
Thank you so much for this! It was such a delight to hear so many old, familiar tunes!
I can’t tell you how much I miss Sanford and Son. Solely based on Red Fox. Or for that fact, Archie Bunker and Carroll O’Connor. Pure genius on both.
Boy u couldn't make those kind of great shows now! They are the best!
Theme song needs more cowbell.
@Gordon Shumway Yep,, he doesn't know the difference between acting and real life. Definitely a tool
Sanford and Son was my favorite. My Dad and I used to laugh our asses off. Chico and the Man,the short time it was on.
Sanford and son! Yessssss
Simpler times, better times
@Jack Rene
WTAF?!
What kind of a sociopath hacks their friend's social media accounts?
Uh, no and no. Did you forget the Vietnam War and Watergate? Stagflation? Gas lines?
You have a TERRIBLE memory.
100%. The people responding are obviously pseudo SJW. A d not alive then. Christian Liberation obviously has done at least the negative research from then. But it was a good time. Well, except or New York, who was begging for more police because their city was a shi*hole. And the resulting disaster of gangs taking over. Which is going to happen pretty quickly again with the “progressive” policies now. Sad, but true. Mike, I’m with you.
@@mangot589 Really? I only missed five and American institutional racism has been damned obvious my whole life. Maybe not to people with their heads up their butts.
I'm a 70's baby. I missed 2 Emergency and Mccloud. Never really watched those shows, but do remember seeing them in the TV guide book.
The little house on the prairie reminde me of my mom she did in 2011 but all these shows we use to watch together,😍
I used to watch Little House on the Prairie with my mother too. She died in 2013.
RIP for both :)
Rosemary Montez I used to watch it at my grandparents house, great memories!
Thought it was just me. My mom loved little house on the prairie and Michael Landon. Made me miss watching with my mom too.
No Rockford Files. Loved that theme. From the same composer as The A Team and numerous shows.
This has to be the best decade for TV show theme songs.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lot of climbing just to get up that hill and we're moving on up Eastside to a Deeeluxe apartment in the sky
@@vickihshallenberger3644 🖒
@ I think it's means they would be eating steak and lobster from now on
I often wondered how one would cook beans on a grill, being a teenager back then.
I thought it was grits instead of fish(maybe I am right? lol)
Got 'em all! ...Damn, I'm old. :(
I missed "The Bionic Woman." Let's face it, it is iconic but who in the heck actually WATCHED IT? Good to see Lindsay Wagner (and Lee Majors) are still with us and looking goood! (hey, why no "Chico and the Man?")
Ack, a Bad 3 here!
You fucking liar
@trf12567 , hilarious, I thought my brother and I were the only ones that ran in slow motion making bionic sounds! 🤣
Well, I'm old and only got about 1/2 of them. They were good shows though, goodness !!
You only have to hear that first note of Barney Miller to recognize it. Great song. Just as great show. My family still gets a lot of mileage out of Barney Miller quotes. “Squishy, squishy.” lol
Mine was the Little House theme. First note.
I forgot four, which I had never really followed: Starsky&Hutch, Soap, Emergency, and McCloud. All of the rest I guessed within 5 notes, having grown up in the 70s.
Hahaha those are the exact four that I missed as well!!!! I never watched those shows. And same with the others! Guessed within a few notes!
"Book 'em, Danno!"
, Murder One!
There are great shows today. The difference is we don't all watch them together. Same time, same episode, all waited in anticipation for the next show - together.
Together is precious word. We don't even use it as much anymore.
That was the special ingredient. Along with some super bad ass theme songs
Y’all did a very good job with this it was so pleasant to do my chores and have memories flood to the point where more than my mirrors got clean. I think this is the most therapeutic video I have listened to in a good long time.
So I recommend you start a 70s for therapy sitcom channel
If you don't have cable , and you just watch on air TV , then you can watch "Antenna TV" . It's a network of oldies but goodies TV shows such as: SOAP,BARNEY MILLER, THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM, GEORGE BURNS AND GRACIE ALLEN, ALICE,MAUDE,WELCOME BACK KOTTER,THREE'S COMPANY, BACHELOR FATHER, FATHER KNOWS BEST,DENNIS THE MENACE,SILVER SPOONS, AND MANY MORE OF THEM ARE ON THIS NETWORK.
How can the 70s be nearly 50 yrs ago???? Wtf !
As someone born at the butt end of '74, I feel your pain on that one.
I graduated from high school in 1979. Where does the time go.
Let's see..... 1975 was 44 years ago. 44 years before that was 1931. Why does 1975 seem like yesterday to me?
@@brenthaymon280 punk kid.
It's not possible :(
As someone who watches zero TV nowadays, I’m shocked that I knew all of these (except McCloud…must have missed that show). There was something magical about TV in the 70s. Each night was a family event. Miss those days. Hearing some of these again made me cry (especially the Muppets lol)!
Glad you used "All In The Family" since that show basically gave 40% of those Spin-off shows from this theme Trivia a chance to be popular which they were.
The McCloud theme is obscure since the show usually was introduced by the Mystery Movie theme...
I remember that theme. It was the "it's time to go to bed" music on Sunday nights (I believe.)
Totally agree. Would have gotten the Mystery Movie theme for Sunday night.
Mark Gardner I wanted to add “something different.” Like I thought it would’ve been interesting to add a show that wasn’t technically on it’s own show. You know what I mean? :)
@@songtrivia Well now you can just upload the entire Mystery Movie theme as it's own video, and blame popular demand, because this thread is mildly popular, and I demand! ;)
@@songtrivia Then you should have done the Banacek theme.
Gen X. We really were the television generation. I literally could name every single one within 2-3 seconds of opening notes lol EDIT I didn’t know McCloud. It either didn’t run in syndication or was after my bedtime LOL
I missed emergency so don't feel bad. But let's be honest. We would play outside all day. Run inside every once in awhile to grab a mayor McCheese glass full of kool-aid and while we were in there catch a Jim Croce or Olivia Newton John song on the radio and head back out. Come in for a home cooked dinner at the table with the most important people in the world to you. Then settle in with these shows till mom tucked you in. Its no wonder we can't forget these shows. Who would want to.
@@jamesmaurer8349 omg yes! You just described my childhood! 😆
Thats so funny, only one that stumped me too, Mc Cloud! That was fun to hear them all tho. Great times.
The 'McCloud' one was the only one I missed, got all the others. Wasn't it packaged with 'The Sunday Night Mysteries' with 'Columbo' and 'MacMillan and Wife'? Yeah, on after my bedtime but my parents watched them.
It was after your bedtime/
Wow, nice trip down memory lane.
Loved all the shows in the 70's. Good mix and many memories.
Wow! I was watching this as a child. now I don't watch any TV only on the laptop looking at TH-cam, no cable here is where I find happiness.
Wow. What a nostalgic trip. I remember watching all these shows during their original runs.
Even though I only had 3 channels back then, I admit I miss a few.
We had 4 channels but 2 were CBS, one NBC and one ABC.
Great video with a lot of great memories. But I did think of a couple that you left off. You should have definitely added the Six million dollar man, and SWAT to the list. Thanks. 😎
Missed 7. The ones I got, I mostly got from the first few bars. 60s were my teens, but 70s were my young adulthood. Thanks for the memories.
I missed 8.
I missed 4. I was born in early 1964.
@@OldsVistaCruiser born in 64 also and missed 5, but we went without a TV for a while there. Times were tough back then too 😂😢👵
Ah the good ole days, when there were only three TV Stations. ABC, CBS, And NBC.
Yes, and actually shows worth watching. Now we have thousands of channels with nothing on them.
Remember the "Battle of the Network Stars" show they did? Annually, I think.
Mike Zip Not really though. I’m sure there were all the colors of the rainbow then that there are today, they were just covered by clouds.
don't forget PBS; which had the British comedies and Dr. Who
David Pike I remember there was station WTTV channel 4 I lived in Indiana so I would say 4 stations as a child & Nightmare hosted by Sammy Terry came on every Saturday night at 10 or 11 O'clock on channel 4 & after school we would watch Cowboy Bob & Janie good old 📺 days 😀January 11, 2020
Miss those innocent days of TV. We actually had to be home to watch them.
Also, Dallas, Love Boat, and SWAT had memorable themes
Don't forget "Airwolf" or "Battlestar Galactica". I think this went for a lot of popular shows with not quite memorable themes, along with the ones you have to die to forget. Plus licensing fees.
Airwolf was really cool but mid 80s
Great video, thank you! It brought back a lot of memories and the audio was great!
I subscribe to a streaming service that has most of these shows in the OLDIE TV section. Every so often I tune into one just to reminiss.
I was in grade school throught most of the 70s and remember looking forward to alot of these shows every week.
Great job and thanks for a trip down memory lane.
The ones I did not know we're the shows I never watched
Makes sense, Rex.
Makes perfect sense
Same
Where I lived in Connecticut we could only get ABC and CBS so NBC shows didn't exist to me.
Same here. Unfortunately, I only missed two. So I am scum.
I couldn't guess 6 of them. It makes me realize just what great theme songs we had back then.
i got all the shows right that i watched. i got a lot of the shows i didn't watch wrong.
The Barney Miller has one of the best bass lines ever. Many don't know it, but pretty much with each season they changed the arrangement of the music. Same song, just played a little differently.
I love the Bass-Wine for, Disney's Jungle Book, lnstrumental,"Whatcha Wanna Do?". :D

From the 60s through 70s you could sit down and relax watching the Television Programmes, back then the Programmes were free from contemptuous in your face preaching. Whenever a Family viewed television together it provided memorable and important bonding experiences.
Wow, I must be old as Dirt! I got almost all of them all in the first 6 Bars.......
I used to watch Three's Company (amongst other shows, but it was my mother's favorite) with my mother when I was about 7 or 8 and the theme song just gives me so much joy.
No Rockford Files ?
Paddy I apologize for not putting some 70s shows (because there are just so many), but I’ll try to put that one on my 70s shows part 2 when I make it.
and no S.W.A.T
I was a bit disappointed about that as well! Loved Rockford. Loved Noah Beery's character!!
It just wasn't possible to put them all in! I really would have liked to hear The Rockford Files-even have the single by Mike Post. I'm sure there's a TH-cam video of it here! th-cam.com/video/yg1Cx26-928/w-d-xo.html
Good List. You got Sanford and Son, Hawaii Five-0. and Barney Miller. I would have added The White Shadow and SWAT to round out the "coolest" themes of the 70's.
70s theme songs beat the crap out of today's bubbling crud, some call" "music."
Most TV shows today have no thems songs anymore, they don't use them because people will change channels so they go right into the show.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE OLD!
I've heard of "bubblin' crude," but "bubbling crud" is a new one on me. ~ Jed
