This was the first song I (and many others) learned on the piano, as it used only the black keys. My faves from you list: Amen and Golden Girls.
Bosom Buddies – you HAVE to love Billy Joel. —Josh Jackson, (Tom Wells and Hugh Wilson)
On the other hand, the advent of a) forward-thinking streaming series, like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflx, and b) great shows suddenly appearing on formerly anonymous networks (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on The CW) has opened the floodgates to anyone who wants to nail a theme song and set their show apart. These lists made my day! This piece originally composed by Williams for the 1984 Games in Los Angeles has been the heart of NBC’s Olympic coverage ever since.
Sometimes those wordless ditties are pure gold, like the harrumphing waltz that begins every Curb Your Enthusiasm—or, for that matter, M*A*S*H*—but it’s not exactly the stuff of Archie and Edith at the piano or the old-timey photos ahead of Cheers, when a show’s theme could tell you a little story by itself.
The reason many people went to HBCUs. Or you wasn’t round during them times. —Josh Jackson, (Waylon Jennings, “Good Ol’ Boys”)
Chuck Norris is Walker, Texas Ranger. And Roundhouse! Who is the longest reigning WWE Champion of all time? It does what a great theme song should do—set the scene.
Lazlo Bane’s “Superman” is another example of a pre-existing song that got new life in TV.
Forget Thriller, “We Are the World” or his work with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald and Sammie Davis Jr.
The brilliant theme song encapsulated all of it: “This is the theme to Garry’s Show, the theme to Garry’s show / Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song / I’m almost halfway finished, how do you like it so far / How do you like the theme to Garry’s Show?” —Matthew Oshinsky, (Rachel Bloom, Adam Schlesinger) The only thing that’s still missing is “Sounds of Philadelphia.” How can a list of the greatest TV theme songs be complete without the one that brought every black household in America to a full and complete stop every Saturday afternoon for over a decade? You’re definitely missing the Sister, Sister and The Proud Family theme songs.
I’m just gon’ throw up that black power fist on this one because…. Totally.” I have no idea why I still remember that scene, but I do. THANK YOU! The Beverly Hillbillies and Andy Griffith. But sometimes, those songs changed.
I has a sad because the theme songs from Growing Pains and The Greatest American Hero ain’t on here. Hawaii Five-O: How many shows have a theme song that is played by every high school and college band in the country? —Josh Jackson, (Will Smith, Quincy Jones III)
I love the theme show to Maude, and Gimme a break, GREEN ACRES… and I too watch too much television, so I might have too many to share.
Silver Spoons: here we are face to face looking for silver spoons THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS EVERYBODY!!!! …AND “glamour, glitter, fashion, and fame…” Gem…she was truly, truly, truly outrageous!
The first verse simply rhymes “horse” and “of course” four times.

Flute has never sounded as bad-ass as with the answer to the show’s repeating eight-note riff.
What is the hink-pink for blue green moray? The show was a spin-off of Happy Days—a theme song that could have made this list in its own right—and the theme was composed by the same team of Gimbel and Fox. It was also the only one that became a Busta Rhymes song. This was so great.

Few intros are as simple or as memorable as Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton at the spinnet piano live in front of a studio audience every week. Oh the memories!! I STILL know every word to every one of these. Also Who’s the Boss, and One Day at a Time.
