Gary from Evanston agrees

And as much as I hate to admit it...Warren is right, Hill Street Blues is a great theme.

I tend to like the instrumental theme songs better than the ones with lyrics. The lyrics, especially from the old shows, get a little over the top. Once you've heard the theme song to the Patty Duke Show or The Brady Bunch, you can turn off the TV, because they've pretty much told you what's going to happen in the episode.

I was trying to stay away from songs that were in existence before they became theme songs, so The Sopranos, Golden Girls, and Cheers (while great) were out. Hawaii Five 0 and Peter Gunn are great choices. Also, L.A. Law had a great instrumental theme song.

Cheers's theme was written for the show.

Taxi
St. Elsewhere
Newhart
WKRP in Cincinnati
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (first season in particular with different lyrics)
Cagney & Lacey
Twin Peaks
The Adventures of Pete & Pete
Kids in the Hall

no way

life's not the French Rivieraaaaaaaa

i know it's basically unheard of , but it's such a quintessential 80's show. Richard Stahl alone puts it up there. Larry from Three's Company appears.

The Back to the Future episode alone is insane

Quote:

In this Back to the Future-themed episode (that pre-dates the sequel), Nancy dozes off during a wedding reception and dreams that everyone has done well for themselves ten years into the future... only to learn that its Amy who married Howard and she ended up marrying Sonny. Lyle Waggoner guest stars; Sheryl Lee Ralph performs "Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)" and Marian Mercer sings and dances to "Brazil" with members of the Chippendale Men.
