Looking back you realize how lucky we were to be kids in the 80’s especially without the burden of social media. So much freedom and such simpler times it was a childhood like no other!
We were the last generation of "feral" kids. We played without supervision, were gone to unknown locales for hours at a time and no one even thought about it! We pedaled a bicycle to everywhere we wanted to go and if you couldn't do that, you had to stay home. The only boundaries were, state with whom you are planning to be, where you will be going and be home before dark. Everything else was fair game.
Damn I miss the 80’s so much, no reality shows, no internet, no smartphones or social media you could just enjoy a day or evening without distractions!❤
It honestly broke my heart and sent a tear down my cheek to see Bruce Willis in the opening, knowing how he is now and what he and his family have facing them in the future. Blessings Bruce, to you and your family.
As a 54 year old, I wish I could go back 40 years and just stay there. These TV themes are so beautiful to hear again. Great compilation, thank you for sharing as this brings nothing but good memories. ❤
Damn, when the Airwolf theme kicks in, I’m no longer 42 but 8 years old, sitting on the floor and singing along with the only tv set we had in my parents’ house. No shit going on, no cell phones, not even a remote control for the tv! Just fun!
Watched some of Airwolf the other year. Its utterly terrible. However for a kid of that time, it was great. Preffered A-Team and Knight Rider of course though.
So glad I grew up in the 80s NOTHING compares to these iconic openings! They were like a “call” to rush to the TV. Some of my best memories are quickly finishing the dishes with my brothers so we could watch things like Hazzard, A team, ALF, Simon & Simon etc
You had to get your timing right! When the ads hit you sprinted for the toilet, worried you'd miss a second or two... Getting the kettle on, the coffees ready.. man... that was life!
Absolutamente de acuerdo, fue un honor haber pertenecido a esa época, cuando todo era más sano, más tranquilo y más divertido, era muy emocionante apurarnos para ver todas esas series y películas, pero lo mejor de todo, es que aquí estamos todavía para recordar aquellos tiempos, y decir que estuvimos ahí.

The 80's were the decade of iconic TV themes and openings, rivalled only by the 90's. Thanks for compiling them all together in this half hour montage, for our viewing pleasure! 🥰
My God, that hurts so much. That these times are gone forever and will never return. I Miss my childhood, my mum and my friends, to play with them with the wonderful 80s toys Masters of the Universe and She-Ra, Care Bears and Rainbow Brite, to sit after bath with my cocoa to watch all of these wonderful Series. 😢
People claim we only want to go back is to be young again. It is so much more than just being young again. I want to experience it like it was all new again. If you didnt live it you will never understand. "Be carefull out there"
That’s exactly it. My girls asked me the other day to describe the 70’s & 80’s and why they were so great. It was hard but I did my best to explain the innocence, freedoms, the actual unbotheredness of being a child and teen of GenX. And then I encouraged them to try and recreate it! I have a feeling that we are on the precipice of a rebirth of prosperity in the US!!
Seeing Bruce with Sybil brings home how sad it is that his health has failed him at such a premature age. Thanks for countless years of TV and Movie memories ❤
Dear 1980s... how i long for you again, and miss the good times we had. Todays world has turned to custard and the people are more evil than before. Miss you guys. Kiwi here, and when I heard cheers intro, my dad would always say, Goodnight. You have school in the morning. It came on at 8.30pm. And 8.15am the next morning, we had to be out of the house and walking to school. Man I miss them days.
Aussie here, and I miss it so much. I haven't been home since 2012. I miss "Home and Away". We had about five channels, one of which was Mandarin half the time.
I wish we could go back to the 80s, and 90s .. It was the best time ever to grow up and have nothing to worry about! The only thing you could worry about then was if you missed an episode of your favoriete tv show! Best days ever!❤️
Here in Portugal, we watch the majority of all these shows. Knight Rider, MacGyver, A-team, Dukes of Hazzard, Cheers, Moonlighting, Miami Vice are still remember by my generation (i was born in 78) untill today. All in the Family, Maude, Galatica, are also shows that we love back then.
Not forgetting Chips. Here in the UK, we only had 4 channels until 1997, so to watch all these American shows we always got them on a Saturday. Dukes of Hazard was always on Channel 1, so if the others were on at the same time, which were always ITV (channel 3), then put came the VHS recorder and we taped it. I'm now 49 years old and i told my 18 year old daughter how primitive and simple we lived tech wise and she thinks it's the stone age but the 80s rocked. Good times.
Same in Australia. We had about five channels until the nineties. I remember being stuck to the television when "Home and Away" came on. And we had Cosby (yuck), Who's the Boss?, Night Court, Coronation Street, Magnum P.I., etc. Super random programmes at odd hours. I moved to California when I was fifteen, and I was shocked by the number of television channels there are in America. And now, there are so many more channels and streaming services, 95 percent of which are crap.
It's funny to me that Brits enjoyed The Dukes of Hazzard...meanwhile here in America i was 12 years old in 1988 and was watching Steptoe and Son and Doctor Who on PBS 8 thinking that they were the greatest shows ever 😂❤
The early to mid 2000s had some decent TV shows and even movies. The Office for one, Lord of the Rings for another. After 2010 everything went straight down hill though. There are a few hidden gems. Now in 2024, entertainment is abysmal
Totally agree, it was far more entertaining than now, with multiple channels, and I remember how great is was having so many shows from the US here in the UK.
47 years old. WOW thank you so much for the 80s . I had a wonderful childhood. Broken bones, scrapes , mud and great tv shows to watch with all the family. 😢😊
Indeed. I genuinely got excited. These days I hardly watch series anymore because it's just "mm ok let me put my feet up and chill". I feel quite indifferent about modern TV programs.
I remember feeling excited and exhilarated when the opening titles would play! It was a wonderful time to grow up. They don't make them like this anymore.
My brother whose in his 50s now loved watching Falcon Crest, the star Jane Wyman was the ex wife of the President at the time in the 1980s Ronald Reagan.
It was also because you only got to see it right then, at that exact time, or miss a week. (only people with VCRs could record it, but not many did that for random series) my parents didn't own a VCR until the nineties
This just popped up on my suggestions... As a Brit, we were fortunate enough to get the majority of these shows. Watching these openings brought a wave of nostalgia: memories of simpler times, back when I was a kid (I'm 54 now). Sat in front of the TV, tuning in every week; with beloved family members, now departed... Thank you for this. For a brief moment in time - in a world seemingly gone mad - I was in a happier place, smiling warmly, thinking back.
Born in 74 and grew up watching many of these shows with my family. They were really wonderful times. So much freedom and happiness. Pity my favourite of the lot was cut short here - Magnum P.I. what a show. Thank God I grew up in the 80s ❤❤❤
Another 74 baby here! I was an A-team theme fan, but Magnum was also a classic. And Knightrider. And Cheers. Oh and Hill Street Blues was the first thing I learnt on piano. Come to think of it, everything in the 80s was a classic. I know, I know, I'm biased...
Grew up in the 80s and watched most of these shows. Man, hearing these theme songs brings such strong feelings of nostalgia. No internet, cell phones, or social media. Played outside all day. If I had a time machine I'd go back and experience it all over again.
Ok. This needs to be a series. All decades, multiple installments per decade. Phenomenal idea for a video. The nostalgia hit me so hard. Especially Cheers. Especially Cheers.
I've been living in the same neighbourhood of a big city for over 30 years now. Everyone around here knows everyone else. In my neighbourhood, it's all about the cafe culture. When I walk into a cafe where everyone does indeed know my name, I sometimes think of the Cheers theme.
Full House I used to watch during my lunch time about fifteen years ago and it was very popular in Brazil. But MacGyver was a real fever in Brazil in the 80’s and 90’s. It was such a success that, even nowadays, when a guy is smart enough to solve problems quickly, people call him MacGyver. Both TV shows was a huge success in Brazil and they are still remembered.
I was born in 1977, so very much a child of the 80’s. The tv we had as kids was brilliant. Only 4 Channels. Amazing theme tunes. Nothing like this today. 1984 was 40 years ago! I pity today’s children. They will never experienced these special times. Obviously we tend to look through Rose tinted spectacles, but I’d go back in a heartbeat.
The theme song from Cheers, OMG, thats the one song that I really loved back then. But all those drama series from the 80s plus sitcoms, they were the epitome of the heights of television.
Man, I miss the 80s. Im so grateful to have been a kid back then. Best tv shows, best movies, best music, no social media, Mtv actually played music videos, and we played outside and had a BALL. Best time to be alive, honestly.
Knew where your friends were by the bikes in the yards, hone when street lights on, and Saturday Morning cartoons. I so miss the 80s; wonderful time to grow up
I was a teen of the 80s and grew up watching American shows in Singapore. I loved Remington Steele!! The chemistry between Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist was hot! I also loved the A-Team, Knight Rider and V!!!
Ha! Ha! Ha1 That's exactly what people were saying about the world in the 80's (i.e. it's a "sick world"). Also, "the 80's generation was the most selfish, materialistic one". Yup...heard it all the time.
You can't even compare the 80's to nowadays. Social Media has bred generations of morons with delusions of importance without earning anything. In turn these people have zero sense of conscience. I suspect you weren't even born in the 80's and if you were then it's far more likely you were born on the back end of it so you wouldn't have really experienced it.. Not saying it was perfect but it was less complicated and manipulative. Nowadays kids of all ages have access to adult movies through their tech and media, which has hastened the decline of any morality, standards or compassion. They view that as how life is and treat people with the same devaluation. The incessant need for instant gratification from _clicks_ & _Friending_ numbers has only fueled mental breaks. People being unable to accept that the things they post on social media are not as important as they think. How not everybody will like what they say or do. How social decline is prevented when an individual starts tacking stock and responsibility for what they say and post and stops the cycle. Unable to form meaningful relationships because of a lack of empathy for anyone else. It is all about the _me me me_ and _now now now_ . People not doing their due diligence in things such as current affairs. Everything is easy with the click of a button and everyone has an opinion but people will seldom bother to go to or past page 30+ to check independent sources and because of that they view sites like Wikipedia as some sort of bastion of truth which further facilitates a low brain function and makes them far more pliable to be manipulated and controlled. To measure the bad things of that time with the bad things of today is quite a massive leap.@@jenniferwilcox9759
@@jenniferwilcox9759 Nothing can top whats happening in today’s world, with incredibly vain, backward and narcissistic ppl ever created…from lip injections, hair extensions to fake eyelashes and eyebrows. There’s no natural beauty to be seen, nobody knows what gender they are while they can’t even tell you what a women is. Truth is inverted,lies are pushed forward by ppl who have become self absorbed, fake and increasingly ignorant.
I was born in the early 90s and I love 80s shows. I can't believe that the Family Ties or the Growing Pains theme song wasn't on this list. By far they were two of the best theme songs of the 80s. They used to make me feel warm and safe as a kid growing up in a dysfunctional home.
I havent watched the video yet but I was so looking forward to hearing the Family Ties theme song. It's my absolute favorite one. Anytime I hear it as an adult, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and brings me back to simpler times. Now I'm bummed it's not on here 😕
Loved the list but that was my first thought, too. They also missed Facts of Life, Different Strokes, Love Boat, Fantasy Island. Really, they could do a part 2 and get another 30+ minutes video.
Great as always. If anyone wants a terrific introduction to 80s prime time TV, this is it. I know that at least a few of those songs charted-"Fame", "The Greatest American Hero" and "Miami Vice" come to mind.
Oh my lord, the nostalgia slammed into me like a tidal wave lol. I'm 48 and still remember all of these. And I also still remember some others not on the list like Tales of the Gold Monkey, Wizards and Warriors, LA Law. Good times.
Kiwi here, New Zealand. They also shaped our lives as well as English comedies of the 70s and 80s. We too saw the world change and now I Long for it back. Now 47, I live on YT old programs. Waltons, the dukes, anything of the by gone era. Even for just a few moments. Take care. We made it.
@@ValHemi265 I’m 52 so I get it but I do enjoy a lot of new and recent shows, especially when CGI is used well it can take us to remarkable places like GoT or Battlestar Galactica, though there is something nice about old shows and everything you see onscreen is real

We got a lot of these translated into Spanish… thanks for that era now long gone… it was such a good time and personally I didn’t know how truly good were those times. Now in 2024 I never thought things would turn out to be the way they are now. Thankfully I did live the 80’s…
These shows had some lovely lead actressses who unparalleled up to this day: Cybill Shepherd, Victoria Principal, Donna Mills, Veronica Hamel, Stephanie Zimbalist, Heather Thomas, Connie Selleca, and the awesome foursome of The Golden Girls. Joan Collins was missing though. Dynasty's clip was from an earlier season. She didn't join the cast until the sophomore and third season. Thank you for putting this together!
5:35 The Sax work for the Cagney and Lacey intro is outstanding! Born in 75 so I remember a lot of these themes. But I didn't become a musician until the '90s. Now I'm listening and I can really appreciate how killing that is😊
I'm pretty sure Mike Post had a hand in at least half of these in some way, shape or form. Also,so so many of these still hold up well today. say what you will about MacGyver, the theme tune is still fantastic
The one word that comes to mind that can describe perfectly the 80's as a decade is: "cool". I grew up with all these and in my oppinion, the 80's were the best decade in history. Everything about it from TV Shows, movies, music, cartoons, etc was fantastic. When you were watching these shows back then, they all gave you a sense of coziness that was unique. To this day, I make it a habit of watching pretty much all these shows regularly. Thank you for this superb montage! The 90's have to be next😁
When life was oh so simple yet somehow had so much more meaning than it does today. I truly miss my childhood. Thank you mum and dad for making life so meaningful despite living in such simpler times. I watched almost all these shows with my dear parents who sadly are no longer here today - how i cherish those memories. Life honestly is so empty now and nothing just seems to have any true meaning anymore - life has truly lost its magic.
Honestly I don’t remember that show but I ironically remembered the theme songs. It seems like a good theme song was critical back then. Maybe even helped people tune in….just for the song.
I hated my 80s life as a teenager, but I loved the 80s as a decade. No other time had so much good music, good movies, good television, and freedom. Sure there were societal problems and political disagreements, but the majority of people had a sense of community and nieghborly cohesion.
Thank you so much for taking me back to my youth. So much better than having instant access streaming, and social media. You had to be physically present on any given night to enjoy entertainment. Today’s youth will never understand this.
Great Memories of growing in The 80s. Like Hart To Hart was the last thing I watched every single Sunday night before bed ready for school in the morning. V One of if not the best mini series on TV ever. Here in The UK I don't ever remember seeing 21 Jump Street or Full House on our TV 🤔 I've always loved TV Themes over the years. So thanks For the huge flashback 😎📺
Oh i miss watching these shows with my family. We had one TV so these shows were watched as families together. Nothing can beat those times. The best times ever!!
I remember watching Dukes of Hazzard as a kid. Even had the lunch box. The man who played Cooter, has his own museum, called Cooter's. Back in 2019, John Schneider was in New Orleans, and my family and I met him. One of the nicest people I've ever met.
The 80s was just so creative,just everything . I'm 52 & i don't know which theme upset me most...from the comments I've seen I'm not the only one tho..❤...reminds me of sitting watching TV with mom & dad......Miss them...❤
This video makes me realize that I watched waaayyy too much TV growing up. I knew every show here, even the ones I didn’t watch. 😅 Damn it was great growing up in the 80’s. It really sux that we can’t travel back in time 😢
Hill Street Blues....brings tears to my eyes....never have i seen such a life experience on screen....still gets me, when i was 12 years old....the intro....dear lord... Councillor and Pizzaman....will never ever forget it..
80's TV. When we had great TV shows and great theme songs. And even if you didn't watch the show, you knew the song. And all shows were one of three classes. 1. Must see TV. / 2. Watch if nothing else is on. / 3. Time to go out and play. I recently did an 80's week marathon. Through DVD's in my collection and various streaming services, Each night of the week I would a show that came on that specific night back in the 80s. Had some help with my handy 'TV Guide, Guide to TV', book. Lists pretty much every show on TV from 1953-2005 along with Primetime and Saturday Morning Program Grids as featured in TV Guide.
any tv up until the 90s was priceless . this compilation actually is hard to watch as it’s actually bringing tears to my eyes that tv and life can never ever ever ever match this music ….this energy …. this magic …
I taught high school for years and every year a student would eventually ask, “we’re the 80’s as cool as VH1 says they were?” I would pause, look back at the class and say, “yes, yes they were.” 😏
It was really heartbreaking to see the faces and names of actors from my childhood that have passed away -- some taken too soon. The laughter, the tears, and enjoyment they brought with the characters they played will stay with me for life. Thanks for the memories and may you rest in peace.
Yes! I graduated in 1990 so moonlighting, Remington Steele…..playing outside…listening to to music….driving in a car with all your friends smoking too many cigarettes….village inn- um VI….awesome- and a Colorado girl- Dynasty and Dallas- who shot JR? So many great shows…and you waited in eager expectation for your favorite shows….Fame- I was in dance classes as much as I could be.
Absolutely 💯 loved 😍 most of these. So glad you threw Simon and Simon in there along with Hart to Hart, and Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Usually get forgotten, next time throw in Father Dowling.
Love all of these - remember getting the record of Greatest American Hero theme for my bday and listening to it over and over. It was a hit back then!! But WHY would they cut the Magnum PI theme short?!!!!!!!!! One of the best TV themes EVER?!!! C'MON MAN!!!!!
That damn Dallas intro 😂 We all had to go to bed or be quiet whilst mum had her TV heaven lol From the UK and I remember all the kids talking about WHO SHOT JR , was left waiting for about a week before we found out lol My mum and Nan just talking about that everytime I walked through the kitchen😂 Christine btw 😂
THIS IS AWESOME! I totally forgot about Dale Robertson being in “Dynasty”. My foster father knew Dale and he invited us to his ranch to ride horses and just goof around. He was a pretty cool dude. 🤠

God, I still have most of these stuck in my head from a childhood spent in front of the TV in the 80s.
this is probably why we can't remember new phone numbers. our brains are cluttered with 80s theme show song lyrics. and music lyrics in general too
The 1980's had the best shows and the best theme songs.
My God, that hurts so much. That these times are gone forever and will never return. I Miss my childhood, my mum and my friends, to play with them with the wonderful 80s toys Masters of the Universe and She-Ra, Care Bears and Rainbow Brite, to sit after bath with my cocoa to watch all of these wonderful Series. 😢

I know! I’m 49 - These were my shows as a kid! It’s painful. I want it all over again.
Yyyeesss!!! I'm 55 & it brought tears 2 my eyes. Just a wonderful time period. ❤😭

I was a teenager in the 1980s . The Movies , sitcoms, music , and cars / trucks make it one of the best decades of my life time
I was in my late teens and early to mid 20s in the ‘80s, but I remember mostly of these great themes.
You forgot Toys too :D
Mine too
True
People claim we only want to go back is to be young again. It is so much more than just being young again. I want to experience it like it was all new again. If you didnt live it you will never understand. "Be carefull out there"
The music,movies,clothes,television shows and enough technology for the times.
perfeito, é exatamente isso. os 80th são os melhores anos
That’s exactly it. My girls asked me the other day to describe the 70’s & 80’s and why they were so great. It was hard but I did my best to explain the innocence, freedoms, the actual unbotheredness of being a child and teen of GenX. And then I encouraged them to try and recreate it! I have a feeling that we are on the precipice of a rebirth of prosperity in the US!!
We had an awesome childhood. ❤ The 80s had the best tv series', the best movies, and best music of our generation. ❤
By far.
Eh. 90s > 80s I grew up in both and 90s rule easily
Not really
@@ShifuCareagaI grew up in both and I disagree but it’s the beauty of life, we can agree to disagree 😊
@@ShifuCareagaAgree 90's were the best by far.
Moonlighting ❣young Bruce Willis was amazing on that show, comedy, action, drama, singing, romance, he did it all.
Hair. Lol
0:40 damn it, how could they synchronize their fast talking without even slipping.... 🤣
Hart 2 Hart ❤❤
A series might only last a season or two, but a great theme song lives forever
Seeing Bruce with Sybil brings home how sad it is that his health has failed him at such a premature age. Thanks for countless years of TV and Movie memories ❤
That Guy was a jerk he is getting what he deserves
52 years old and these are so iconic! They don't make them like these anymore!
And if anyone tried they’d be cancelled and called ray syst, something-phobe, bee-got. People have lost their sense of humour!
The 80s is a drug that you can never OD on but only makes you feel more alive.
Omg! The nostalgia! Take me back to my childhood when life was carefree and all I had to worry about was school and coming home to watch TV!
Dear 1980s... how i long for you again, and miss the good times we had. Todays world has turned to custard and the people are more evil than before. Miss you guys. Kiwi here, and when I heard cheers intro, my dad would always say, Goodnight. You have school in the morning. It came on at 8.30pm. And 8.15am the next morning, we had to be out of the house and walking to school. Man I miss them days.
Aussie here, and I miss it so much. I haven't been home since 2012. I miss "Home and Away". We had about five channels, one of which was Mandarin half the time.
You right people are more evil than B4 it's the end of Time
People are just as evil. We're just paying more attention.
Those days were magic compared to today. Now society is going to hell in a handbasket
@@JLee-g6w AIDS was truly magical.
Reading these comments, I don't feel quite so alone. I msis the 80s so much. I'd go back in a second, and stay there. Forever.
Me too
I wish we could go back to the 80s, and 90s .. It was the best time ever to grow up and have nothing to worry about! The only thing you could worry about then was if you missed an episode of your favoriete tv show! Best days ever!❤️
Absolutely. Can someone invent time travel already since we’ve seen it in so many movies?
Here in Portugal, we watch the majority of all these shows. Knight Rider, MacGyver, A-team, Dukes of Hazzard, Cheers, Moonlighting, Miami Vice are still remember by my generation (i was born in 78) untill today. All in the Family, Maude, Galatica, are also shows that we love back then.
...and let's not forget, Tv Rural !
@@lino222 com o grande Sousa Veloso 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Hey born in 78 also
Knight Rider always puts a smile on my face 😄
Not forgetting Chips. Here in the UK, we only had 4 channels until 1997, so to watch all these American shows we always got them on a Saturday. Dukes of Hazard was always on Channel 1, so if the others were on at the same time, which were always ITV (channel 3), then put came the VHS recorder and we taped it. I'm now 49 years old and i told my 18 year old daughter how primitive and simple we lived tech wise and she thinks it's the stone age but the 80s rocked. Good times.
Same in Australia. We had about five channels until the nineties. I remember being stuck to the television when "Home and Away" came on. And we had Cosby (yuck), Who's the Boss?, Night Court, Coronation Street, Magnum P.I., etc. Super random programmes at odd hours. I moved to California when I was fifteen, and I was shocked by the number of television channels there are in America. And now, there are so many more channels and streaming services, 95 percent of which are crap.
It's funny to me that Brits enjoyed The Dukes of Hazzard...meanwhile here in America i was 12 years old in 1988 and was watching Steptoe and Son and Doctor Who on PBS 8 thinking that they were the greatest shows ever 😂❤
Well, Chips was in fact from the late 70’s
@@robertoaguiar8082 yes it was but I didn't watch it until about 1981 and sure America would have had it aired before we did here in UK.
There is more entertainment value in one night of 80’s TV than in the entirety of television since 2000.
Not really. It's just the same.
The early to mid 2000s had some decent TV shows and even movies. The Office for one, Lord of the Rings for another. After 2010 everything went straight down hill though. There are a few hidden gems. Now in 2024, entertainment is abysmal
@@davyboy9397 There are still some good ones, always.
Totally agree, it was far more entertaining than now, with multiple channels, and I remember how great is was having so many shows from the US here in the UK.
@@suzy6947 It's just the same.
47 years old. WOW thank you so much for the 80s . I had a wonderful childhood. Broken bones, scrapes , mud and great tv shows to watch with all the family. 😢😊
I'm the same age as you. When my parents really wanted to punish me for something, they'd send me to bed before Knight Rider. It was devastating.
@@luther1546 hahaha I can imagine. I'm surprised you didn't call child services on them. 🤣
It’s easy to say we never knew how good we had it, but even back then we knew it was awesome TV
Indeed. I genuinely got excited. These days I hardly watch series anymore because it's just "mm ok let me put my feet up and chill". I feel quite indifferent about modern TV programs.
I remember feeling excited and exhilarated when the opening titles would play! It was a wonderful time to grow up. They don't make them like this anymore.
They don't make theme songs at all any more. 😞 Why waste precious airtime on music and cast members' names when they can get right to the plot?
My brother whose in his 50s now loved watching Falcon Crest, the star Jane Wyman was the ex wife of the President at the time in the 1980s Ronald Reagan.
It was also because you only got to see it right then, at that exact time, or miss a week. (only people with VCRs could record it, but not many did that for random series) my parents didn't own a VCR until the nineties
They do not.
@trevorcarey3997 Same here.
This just popped up on my suggestions...
As a Brit, we were fortunate enough to get the majority of these shows.
Watching these openings brought a wave of nostalgia: memories of simpler times, back when I was a kid (I'm 54 now). Sat in front of the TV, tuning in every week; with beloved family members, now departed...
Thank you for this.
For a brief moment in time - in a world seemingly gone mad - I was in a happier place, smiling warmly, thinking back.
I miss the 80s so bad.
Me too!!!!
@@Drake-12-39Me three!

I would give almost anything to go back in time, n stay there.
@@co6308 I can certainly understand and empathize with that desire!
Born in 74 and grew up watching many of these shows with my family. They were really wonderful times. So much freedom and happiness. Pity my favourite of the lot was cut short here - Magnum P.I. what a show. Thank God I grew up in the 80s ❤❤❤
I'm 9 years older than you but I have the same sentiments. 3 networks, family times, no social media, kids played outside....I miss it terribly.
Born in 77 here. We were so lucky to have the 80s-90s. I talk to people born after 9/11. I feel bad for them. God help us and this nation
Yeah man, '72 here and Magnum PI was my favorite too, awesome show.
Another 74 baby here! I was an A-team theme fan, but Magnum was also a classic. And Knightrider. And Cheers. Oh and Hill Street Blues was the first thing I learnt on piano. Come to think of it, everything in the 80s was a classic. I know, I know, I'm biased...
More freedom? Bizarre thing to say, but Americans do seem weirdly obsessed with freedom despite having way less than civilised countries.
Grew up in the 80s and watched most of these shows. Man, hearing these theme songs brings such strong feelings of nostalgia. No internet, cell phones, or social media. Played outside all day. If I had a time machine I'd go back and experience it all over again.
Ok. This needs to be a series. All decades, multiple installments per decade.
Phenomenal idea for a video. The nostalgia hit me so hard. Especially Cheers. Especially Cheers.
i second this notion!
And my bow!
I mean I third this!
And Hill Street Blues. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I've been living in the same neighbourhood of a big city for over 30 years now. Everyone around here knows everyone else. In my neighbourhood, it's all about the cafe culture. When I walk into a cafe where everyone does indeed know my name, I sometimes think of the Cheers theme.
The Cheers theme song always gets to me...probably my favorite.
Full House I used to watch during my lunch time about fifteen years ago and it was very popular in Brazil. But MacGyver was a real fever in Brazil in the 80’s and 90’s. It was such a success that, even nowadays, when a guy is smart enough to solve problems quickly, people call him MacGyver. Both TV shows was a huge success in Brazil and they are still remembered.
I was born in 1977, so very much a child of the 80’s. The tv we had as kids was brilliant. Only 4 Channels. Amazing theme tunes. Nothing like this today. 1984 was 40 years ago! I pity today’s children. They will never experienced these special times. Obviously we tend to look through Rose tinted spectacles, but I’d go back in a heartbeat.
Same born in ‘77 miss those days
I was born in 1975, I know what you mean!
You and about a million others!

Miss the 80’s. What a time to be alive.
So do i
This takes me back to such a beautiful simple time.... growing up in the 80s - life was so much simpler ❤
The theme song from Cheers, OMG, thats the one song that I really loved back then.
But all those drama series from the 80s plus sitcoms, they were the epitome of the heights of television.
Omg..Hart to Hart was my favorite. Used to watch it every single week. I'm almost in tears longing for the 80s again.😢
Me too😢😢
Man, I miss the 80s. Im so grateful to have been a kid back then. Best tv shows, best movies, best music, no social media, Mtv actually played music videos, and we played outside and had a BALL. Best time to be alive, honestly.
Knew where your friends were by the bikes in the yards, hone when street lights on, and Saturday Morning cartoons. I so miss the 80s; wonderful time to grow up
My Mom used to literally FORCE me to come inside from playing!!! Cheers theme song meant bedtime!!! What a time to be alive 😢
Wow! This is a time capsule. As a kid from the eighties it was a daily routine to hear this intros or knowing by heart the themes.
Great video!
This brought back so many childhood memories. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I was a teen of the 80s and grew up watching American shows in Singapore. I loved Remington Steele!! The chemistry between Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist was hot! I also loved the A-Team, Knight Rider and V!!!
I concur with everything you said about Remington Steele & Stephanie Zimbalist.

Thank God I was a kid in the 80s. I couldn't imagine growing up in this sick world.
Everyone is growing up dude. It dosent magically stop when your balls drop.
I haven't seen any of the lefty kids grow up, nor the adults lol@@killbotone6210
Ha! Ha! Ha1 That's exactly what people were saying about the world in the 80's (i.e. it's a "sick world"). Also, "the 80's generation was the most selfish, materialistic one". Yup...heard it all the time.
You can't even compare the 80's to nowadays. Social Media has bred generations of morons with delusions of importance without earning anything. In turn these people have zero sense of conscience. I suspect you weren't even born in the 80's and if you were then it's far more likely you were born on the back end of it so you wouldn't have really experienced it.. Not saying it was perfect but it was less complicated and manipulative. Nowadays kids of all ages have access to adult movies through their tech and media, which has hastened the decline of any morality, standards or compassion. They view that as how life is and treat people with the same devaluation. The incessant need for instant gratification from _clicks_ & _Friending_ numbers has only fueled mental breaks. People being unable to accept that the things they post on social media are not as important as they think. How not everybody will like what they say or do. How social decline is prevented when an individual starts tacking stock and responsibility for what they say and post and stops the cycle. Unable to form meaningful relationships because of a lack of empathy for anyone else. It is all about the _me me me_ and _now now now_ . People not doing their due diligence in things such as current affairs. Everything is easy with the click of a button and everyone has an opinion but people will seldom bother to go to or past page 30+ to check independent sources and because of that they view sites like Wikipedia as some sort of bastion of truth which further facilitates a low brain function and makes them far more pliable to be manipulated and controlled. To measure the bad things of that time with the bad things of today is quite a massive leap.@@jenniferwilcox9759

Nothing can top whats happening in today’s world, with incredibly vain, backward and narcissistic ppl ever created…from lip injections, hair extensions to fake eyelashes and eyebrows. There’s no natural beauty to be seen, nobody knows what gender they are while they can’t even tell you what a women is. Truth is inverted,lies are pushed forward by ppl who have become self absorbed, fake and increasingly ignorant.
These shows can show Strong and Smart Women without dumbing down and demonizing Men. We Need Tv shows like these in Current Day.
Absolutely. Almost every modern show is nothing but identity politics propaganda
Well said
Dumbing
I think the problem lies with you rather than the shows. You're the one radicalized with politics. I'm sure your 80s self wasn't the same.
Did they pick you yet?
I was born in the early 90s and I love 80s shows. I can't believe that the Family Ties or the Growing Pains theme song wasn't on this list. By far they were two of the best theme songs of the 80s. They used to make me feel warm and safe as a kid growing up in a dysfunctional home.
I havent watched the video yet but I was so looking forward to hearing the Family Ties theme song. It's my absolute favorite one. Anytime I hear it as an adult, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and brings me back to simpler times. Now I'm bummed it's not on here 😕
Loved the list but that was my first thought, too. They also missed Facts of Life, Different Strokes, Love Boat, Fantasy Island. Really, they could do a part 2 and get another 30+ minutes video.
Family Ties theme "Without Us", I mean c'mon it's Johnny Mathis (w/Denice Williams) for crying out loud
Great as always. If anyone wants a terrific introduction to 80s prime time TV, this is it. I know that at least a few of those songs charted-"Fame", "The Greatest American Hero" and "Miami Vice" come to mind.
I want to travel back to the 80s and stay forever..
The 80s and 90s were such an amazing time
💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!
Me too
As i was born 89 i regret only thing why not 79
Oh my lord, the nostalgia slammed into me like a tidal wave lol. I'm 48 and still remember all of these. And I also still remember some others not on the list like Tales of the Gold Monkey, Wizards and Warriors, LA Law. Good times.
Interesting how these shows reflect the generally positive, upbeat and hopeful 80s after very difficult 70s in the US
Every product reflects it’s time.
Kiwi here, New Zealand. They also shaped our lives as well as English comedies of the 70s and 80s. We too saw the world change and now I Long for it back. Now 47, I live on YT old programs. Waltons, the dukes, anything of the by gone era.
Even for just a few moments.
Take care.

We got a lot of these translated into Spanish… thanks for that era now long gone… it was such a good time and personally I didn’t know how truly good were those times. Now in 2024 I never thought things would turn out to be the way they are now. Thankfully I did live the 80’s…
These shows had some lovely lead actressses who unparalleled up to this day: Cybill Shepherd, Victoria Principal, Donna Mills, Veronica Hamel, Stephanie Zimbalist, Heather Thomas, Connie Selleca, and the awesome foursome of The Golden Girls. Joan Collins was missing though. Dynasty's clip was from an earlier season. She didn't join the cast until the sophomore and third season. Thank you for putting this together!
5:35 The Sax work for the Cagney and Lacey intro is outstanding! Born in 75 so I remember a lot of these themes. But I didn't become a musician until the '90s. Now I'm listening and I can really appreciate how killing that is😊
So many classic themes, brings tears to my eyes.
I'm pretty sure Mike Post had a hand in at least half of these in some way, shape or form.
Also,so so many of these still hold up well today. say what you will about MacGyver, the theme tune is still fantastic
The one word that comes to mind that can describe perfectly the 80's as a decade is: "cool". I grew up with all these and in my oppinion, the 80's were the best decade in history. Everything about it from TV Shows, movies, music, cartoons, etc was fantastic. When you were watching these shows back then, they all gave you a sense of coziness that was unique. To this day, I make it a habit of watching pretty much all these shows regularly. Thank you for this superb montage!
The 90's have to be next😁
I’m 27 and I agree
You're 100% right. The 80's was the best decade ever! Thank God I got to be a kid then!
When life was oh so simple yet somehow had so much more meaning than it does today. I truly miss my childhood. Thank you mum and dad for making life so meaningful despite living in such simpler times. I watched almost all these shows with my dear parents who sadly are no longer here today - how i cherish those memories. Life honestly is so empty now and nothing just seems to have any true meaning anymore - life has truly lost its magic.
Dallas was THE opening. And it still is.
And it's still memorable If they announced Patrick Duffy joining one of sixty zillion Yellowstone spinoffs I'd happily make it appointment TV again
I wish they would have the one with the original cast.
And Dynasty.
The original version from season one is the coolest one.
Dynasty was a great opening too. Loved the music.
"believe it or not, I'm walking on air!" omg the feels man.
Long time ago, was my ringtone...
I love that theme it’s stuck in my head.
What about The Greatest American Hero? Or was that ‘90s?
The series is available in YT.
Honestly I don’t remember that show but I ironically remembered the theme songs. It seems like a good theme song was critical back then. Maybe even helped people tune in….just for the song.
Everything seemed less complicated in those times... thanks for this memories. Greetings from 🇨🇴
Not only were the shows awesome but the titles are so recognised.
80’s,, golden times!!!!!!
I like the simple beauty and purity of those times.

Oh man…. The 80s and early 90s were SO amazing…! So simple, we just enjoyed life, without constant need to take pictures of everything we did…
Started with one of the best. Loved Maddie and David. Moonlighting was fantastic. RIP Al Jarreau
I hated my 80s life as a teenager, but I loved the 80s as a decade. No other time had so much good music, good movies, good television, and freedom. Sure there were societal problems and political disagreements, but the majority of people had a sense of community and nieghborly cohesion.
Thank you so much for taking me back to my youth. So much better than having instant access streaming, and social media. You had to be physically present on any given night to enjoy entertainment. Today’s youth will never understand this.
Remember Saturday morning cartoons?
Great Memories of growing in The 80s. Like Hart To Hart was the last thing I watched every single Sunday night before bed ready for school in the morning. V One of if not the best mini series on TV ever. Here in The UK I don't ever remember seeing 21 Jump Street or Full House on our TV 🤔 I've always loved TV Themes over the years. So thanks For the huge flashback 😎📺
Jump street was definitely on sky tv in about 1988. Full house was on somewhere, because I recall seeing some episodes.
Not only the series were gold, also - or especially - the soundtracks-... each one is a master piece.80s were quality time. miss them.
I just hit play and continued working... THIS IS A TIMEMACHINE TO MY CHILDHOOD!!!
100%
Oh i miss watching these shows with my family. We had one TV so these shows were watched as families together. Nothing can beat those times. The best times ever!!
I remember watching Dukes of Hazzard as a kid. Even had the lunch box. The man who played Cooter, has his own museum, called Cooter's. Back in 2019, John Schneider was in New Orleans, and my family and I met him. One of the nicest people I've ever met.
The 80s was just so creative,just everything . I'm 52 & i don't know which theme upset me most...from the comments I've seen I'm not the only one tho..❤...reminds me of sitting watching TV with mom & dad......Miss them...❤
Just takes you back when television themes were the best and the name Mike Post popping up for many of our favourites programmes.
True 😊
This video makes me realize that I watched waaayyy too much TV growing up. I knew every show here, even the ones I didn’t watch. 😅 Damn it was great growing up in the 80’s. It really sux that we can’t travel back in time 😢
Hill Street Blues....brings tears to my eyes....never have i seen such a life experience on screen....still gets me, when i was 12 years old....the intro....dear lord... Councillor and Pizzaman....will never ever forget it..
If i could turn back time...80s were great...thx for all the memories...❤❤❤
"I I could turn back time I'd find a way, to go back to the 80's and I'd stay!"

It is important to note that not only do you have the theme music to these shows you also have the opening sequence and introduction of the actors.
The 80s will live forever as long as I remember it.
And I will remember it.
Forever.
Me too!
80's TV. When we had great TV shows and great theme songs. And even if you didn't watch the show, you knew the song. And all shows were one of three classes. 1. Must see TV. / 2. Watch if nothing else is on. / 3. Time to go out and play.
I recently did an 80's week marathon. Through DVD's in my collection and various streaming services, Each night of the week I would a show that came on that specific night back in the 80s. Had some help with my handy 'TV Guide, Guide to TV', book. Lists pretty much every show on TV from 1953-2005 along with Primetime and Saturday Morning Program Grids as featured in TV Guide.
any tv up until the 90s was priceless . this compilation actually is hard to watch as it’s actually bringing tears to my eyes that tv and life can never ever ever ever match this music ….this energy …. this magic …
I taught high school for years and every year a student would eventually ask, “we’re the 80’s as cool as VH1 says they were?”
I would pause, look back at the class and say, “yes, yes they were.” 😏
No,they were even cooler :-)
VH1 doing that stuff again? No basketball wives or hip hop wives?
Aaah, the nostalgia.❤
But I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed that The Fall Guy intro didn't include Heather Thomas' swinging door entrance 😊
It was really heartbreaking to see the faces and names of actors from my childhood that have passed away -- some taken too soon. The laughter, the tears, and enjoyment they brought with the characters they played will stay with me for life. Thanks for the memories and may you rest in peace.
O man the 80s were a great time to grow up as a kid, I used to watch a lot of these shows happy times

Love all of these - remember getting the record of Greatest American Hero theme for my bday and listening to it over and over. It was a hit back then!! But WHY would they cut the Magnum PI theme short?!!!!!!!!! One of the best TV themes EVER?!!! C'MON MAN!!!!!
I had to shorten the Magnum PI theme due to copyright reasons, otherwise the video would have been blocked in North America.
I had the single of GAH too!
That damn Dallas intro 😂
We all had to go to bed or be quiet whilst mum had her TV heaven lol
