    I loved Three’s Company. Probably my favorite show as a kid. Theme song too. John Ritter was incredible.

    someone mentioned it already lol but i really liked theme song for The Fall Guy... i am not completely sure but i have always believed it was First presented by the original artist, but very soon after show got going it was Lee Majors singing it ... very catchy tune, easy lyrics and a fun show... season 1 is streaming on Prime... but i cant find anything beyond that even on DVD :(. would love to find it some day i miss the hijinks and the storylines

  • @Hammerhead547
    @Hammerhead547 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My favourite 80's tv theme is Rescue 911's theme.
    There's no lyrics and it's only 54 seconds long but it perfectly conveys the frantic nature of an emergency situation which combines perfectly with the pretitle disclaimer read by show host William Shatner informing the audience that all the calls heard are real and that the people involved in the recreations are the people who made those calls whenever possible.

    • @SchofieldAJ

      And don't forget the Greatest Pro Wrestler during the later half of the 1980s as in when they started having Wrestlers come out to Songs only 1 MAN REFUSED to have INTRO MUSIC and that was ANDRE THE GIANT as in his Theme Song was hearing the FANS in the Crowds more so!

    speaking of 80’s themes, and joker’s wild, in the game show department, that’s a good 80’s theme, although it originally started in the early 70’s, but it also had another run which was about 1978 or 1979, to 1986.

    I loved watching on Friday nights The Dukes Of Hazzard. I was only 6 1/2 years old at the time when the TV show premiered on CBS. Back before the Woke Ideology crept into our lives changing view points on things. The Dukes Of Hazzard was a family wholesome show that brought the family together to be entertained for an hour. Plus, after The Dukes Of Hazzard the adults could watch Dallas and Falcon Crest. The show within a few years would be shown in reruns up until President Obama made a big deal in 2015 about the Rebel flag. That is when you did not see The Dukes Of Hazzard no longer shown anywhere on TV.
