Donnalee Clubb Look again, some were not as easily recognized because they were very young. Some were in things that might not be of interest to you. Have a wonderful and blessed day!!!🙏🏼
I always feel bad for actors who tell their parents and friends “I’m co-starring in a TV sitcom!” And then a week later saying “My show was canceled after the theme song played.”
It feels like every pitch started with, "it's about a slightly quirky family whose mutual love keeps them going through minor conflicts and easily resolved difficulties".
@@Omnibushido- I feel like Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney watched these for research before writing their spot-on send-ups of corny late-80s early-90s sitcoms for SNL.
You always know when a show's credits feature the actor doing something and then suddenly breaking the fourth wall and smiling directly into the camera it's going to be a classic show.
At least Small Wonder did genuinely try to do something different, as it was the first foray into blending sci-fi and sitcom , as well as having the first android (albeit played by a human) on a television series.
The absolute worst thing you can say about that show is that the producers were naïve to the implications of what would happen if somebody actually tried that in real life. It was less than 35 years from that to “we want our jerbs!” Honestly, it held up better than a lot of concurrent network sitcoms.
This goes to show that for every MASH or Seinfeld there are 10 of these types of shows. I never heard of about 90% of these shows, or their 'stars'. Seeing Martin Short and Bryan Cranston in small roles was a surprise.
I say more like 50-100 shows because these are the ones that pilots made it to air with some episodes shot. Not ones that they shot a pilot for then cut into a direct to VHS film to try recoup so of the loss since no one picked up that pilot option.
Eric Grijalva I actually remember a couple but I actually liked them. I’m surprised I didn’t see them all since I watched a lot of tv back in those days.
crazysingingchick True!!! Although I remember some. They just weren’t popular like Family ties or anything like that. Kinda glad I don’t remember some of them lol!
Deborah Chapman out of all of these I remember I’m a Big Girl Now the most because I watched that one. I love Diana Canova and Martin Short and I recall it being a good show. Edit: I was very little so maybe it was lame and I just thought it was good. 😂
Clearly Morrissey wrote most of these theme songs. I’d recognize his touch anywhere. Few people know that “Girlfriend in a Coma” was the theme of a Scott Baio sitcom called “Nighty Night Julie.”
I can't stop myself from thinking how excited these actors must have been, filming their intros for what they think will be the next Cosby Show, only to be disposed of after the pilot...

I remember that one too because of Diana Canova and Martin Short. Both good actors, unfortunately not a good vehicle. And Paul Witt had some very successful ahows.
Imagine the career that Amy Hannigan COULD have had... or that Marty Shorts fellow... Or that Cranberry guy. Something like that. Really, it's hard to remember.

The Diana Canova/Danny Thomas/Martin Short Big Girl show was the only one that showed real promise because it was produced by the Soap sitcom people. If they changed the silly title it might have succeeded.
People talk about how so many things in the 80's were created because "everyone was on drugs" but I'm pretty sure these creators were on nothing stronger than a lukewarm glass of water.
Ellie McKibben I haven’t heard that one before. Everyone was not on drugs then but I find a lot of people are on them today. Yes, I’m including weed too.
Notice though, most of the time it was ether a buddy comedy with kids added or The Aunt/Grandma/Older Sister had to take care of things because Mom died or only appeared in the first episode. The one with the divorced couple living across the street, including Ex Mother in Law to care for the Ex- husband, now that's cringe! Who does that? I would never!

The dates that are listed is for the Mickey Rooney sitcom that aired on NBC in 1982. Included in this compilation of openings is a different series with the same title from 1989 that also aired on NBC. Bernie Orenstein and Saul Turteltaub created the 1982 series. They were the main producers on the later seasons of That Girl and Sanford and Son.
The problem with TV in the 80's was that they were trying to have the same kind of success as shows in the 70's. Too many "spin-offs" and too many shows based on a movie's success. Successful shows are like lightening in a bottle, it's a combination of a great idea and really talented writers as well as likeable and relatable cast. Most of these flops didn't air long enough to even be memorable. Of the 80's successful shows that stand out for me are Miami Vice and Moon Lighting.
I don't remember all of these sitcoms, but I imagine a lot of them came out in 1984 or just after then, when THE COSBY SHOW just about single-handedly revived tv sitcoms.
By all means, but its success was not instantaneous. There is an early promo for the show here on UA-cam that apparently turned a lot of viewers off with its condescending tone that said nothing about the show and everything about the network that aired it. As it was, it almost didn’t survive its first season until it won the Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy and jumped up in the ratings by several spots. Even without *Cosby,* it likely would have survived anyway.
As someone whos 50 now and grew up in the 80's doing nothing but watching tv all day everyday, i figure at least one of these show will look at least familiar. Nope not a one.
Ah, the 80's, where if you weren't sure what the show was going to be about, don't worry - the entire premise and exposition would be explained to you in explicit detail in the opening credits
As a kid, I spent a large portion of each day watching bad TV. I am shocked that I know of so few of these shows. And OMG, do the first few look PAINFUL! I will admit, I would probably have watched 2 or 3 of these shows, had I been aware of them.
HeatherM0891 ... If I remember correctly The Simpson’s actually premiered on Thursdays opposite The Cosby Show. The networks didn’t think it had a chance and look where we are now, season 30. Although not nearly as funny as it once was.
@@shaner743 The Simpsons originally aired on Sundays. But then Bill Cosby started complaining about what a bad influence Bart Simpson was for society. Fox thought, "Yeah well we'll show you", and they temporarily moved The Simpsons opposite The Cosby Show to take away some of his viewers.
Animated shows--primarily The Simpsons at first, and later South Park and (to a lesser extent) Family Guy, took up some of the slack in terms of what was watchable on a given night, in the face of the many other mediocre-to-bad shows that were shown on other networks in the same time slot, or at later or earlier times on the same night on any network, etc.
+Shane R I agree the Simpsons isn't nearly as funny as it once was--I pretty much stopped watching after about 11-12 seasons (and after maybe 10 seasons of South Park, 8-9 seasons of Family Guy--these two I've just seen in reruns).
The Cavanaughs actually got a three year run. After which their audience got time off for good behavior. A more appropriate title for Tough Cookies would have been Tough S**t.
I feel like I’ve slipped into some alternate reality because I don’t remember a single one of these intros, but they are all so confident like they were real shows that people watched
*Punky Brewster* didn’t do that despite Henry’s job as a photographer. Working that into that show would’ve backed the producers into a corner after he was forced to give it up to go into the restaurant business. They already had to give up most of the animation they created for the season one opening because the transition from live-action to animation was far from seamless.
I’ve watched this video several times since I first found it in 2021, but it never occurred to me to ask myself if I, born in 1985, remember any of these shows? 13 East is very familiar looking. If it aired in 1989-90, that’s when my mother was in nursing school, and it wouldn’t surprise me if she’d watch this show because it was relevant to her life. More than that, when I saw the tiled walls in the intro, it flooded my memory with what kid me must have thought when she saw it: “it looks like the pool at the Y!” Aaaaand that’s it. A half-forgotten blur from when I was 4 years old.
I recall a few: The Cavanaughs (QUITE bad, felt sorry for the cast)and I'm a Big Girl Now(amazingly NOT bad for semi-retired Danny Thomas and post-Soap Diana Canova). The rest of these, if I remember them AT ALL, I'd see their ads in TV Guide and think 'Ah...Robby Benson as a cop...I think I'll pass' . These responses have me LOL. The opening credit sequences and their themes are both abysmal AND YET probably necessary to ponder the numbing amount of retread TV(mostly sitcoms)ideas that trod the '80s landscape. Only surprised the Jack Klugman-John Stamos misfire "You Again" wasn't in this.
Martin Olsen became became more famous for working on shows like adventure time and phineas and ferb I mean he was the voice of Marcelines dad Hunson Abadeer
The cheesy video effects are fun, and it is interesting to see big names on their way up (or down). But the perky, heart-warming and life-affirming intro songs have left me wanting to be cruel to a total stranger.
That's classic, usually Broadcast TV for you. Like the old Billy Joel song says, The 'Good Old Days' weren't always good and Tomorrow isn't as bad as it seems......Current political regime makes that statement seem like a stretch, but still...
You mean *Full Jailhouse.* I couldn’t help but notice how a show with a similar premise, one that didn’t come out of the Miller-Boyett bilge factory, aired Friday nights on ABC a year before it premiered.
As someone who has watched David Rappaport use toys to stop crime, Pat Morita playing a detective, and Andy Griffith building a rocket out of garbage; I'm impressed with the number of these I've not heard of.
i loved the Wizard ( i think i saw it when i was 7, on CHCH 11 from Hamiton via Cable here in Canada). Ohara i also remember, i think Kevin Conroy was on that, and it was out around the same time as Hooperman, the first 'dramadey'
I actually do rem "nothing is easy". The fact that data from goonies was on a show always stuck in my mind. I didn't think it was terrible show, but it lasted maybe half a season.
It’s hard to believe that all of these shows aren’t part of the Too Many Cooks universe. Some of these seem as if people had A.I. create the songs and intros.
My fav intro is the one where the cast has bad ass instruments behind them, clearly emphasizing how totally bodacious and/or radical your viewing experience is about to get.
Well, other than recognizing "Nothing in Common" as an attempt to be an adaptation of a 1986 movie of the same name (which had much better talent), I'm in the same boat.
Same here. Truely unmemorable, one or two show disasters. These are truly awful. But suffice it to say, that in some alternate universe, these shows were hits.
Yes, Corinne was "Winnie Goodwinn", a "free spirit" witch who often got the kids she was supposed to look after in trouble {Daddy doesn't KNOW she's a witch- they DO}. The series lasted 13 episodes in the fall of 1989.
Ooo, gross! Brady Bunch-esque. Rehashing their '70s hey-dey. With better clothes and hair. But only slightly. Toss Happy Days update of harmless '50s in there, too.
as a rule, I think Everything this Channel compiles for these videos was ordered to Series... (whether Fall Launch or Mid-Season replacement) some shows 'might' be canceled in under 3* episodes or see a change in plans between running the ads and the intended debut, but all were Ordered to series (meaning that due to filming schedules and lead time to air a minimum of 6 episodes likely exist/existed for every one of these I think the record for Speed of Cancelation is a Tie between a 70's Variety Show & Heather Graham's '06 sitcom where the order came down in the Middle of the First episode Airing on the East Coast... IIRC the Variety show went to commercial and when the commercial break was Over Affiliates were instructed to put on a Re-run of something else... and in both cases many west Coast affiliates know the shows' fates never bothered to air them.
I actually remember "The Cavanaughs" theme song from when I was a little kid, haven't heard it in over 30 years and probably haven't thought about it since then either. It's actually quite pretty. :)
I was present for the 80s... and sober most of the time... and I remember exactly ONE of these... Star of the Family. Most of these look like they were on NBC, which is not surprising.
I have only seen The Cavanaughs and Have Faith, and only remember seeing previews of I'm a Big Girl Now. All of the other shows looked pretty bad to me!
Wow, what a bunch of cookie-cutter shows.. same openings, same selection of cast member types, same fonts, and theme songs that must have all been written by the same person. And I don't remember one of them.
Paul Junger Witt and Tony Thomas must have had it in their contract to have the same exact "Soap"/"Benson" white-on-black font on EVERY single one of their shows. It was copied over for "The Golden Girls" as well. Luckily there was enough talent in that series to overcome THAT intro.
In the 80s, I had gone through an expensive divorce, was living in a small studio apartment, was working long hours and did not have a TV. Never heard of most of these shows or their "stars". Life was good!
I had a similar situation. Worked 12 hour overnight shift, slept all day. TV memories of the 80s are Cheers, Dallas and Knots Landing. But during some of that time, I didn't even have a TV.
You mean to tell me that Hakeem, even at his young age, (in the show Fathers and Sons) was just that well known in Hollywood and abroad, that he only needed to go by one name?!!!
Mt. Theodore Alan that’s Hakeem Abdul Samad from that boy band The Boys back in the late 80’s. I guess they knew they were gonna butcher his name so they just went with what they could spell. In retrospect, that was probably a good idea.
Wow Bryan Cranston at 8:42! Makes you appreciate the tenacity of actors who despite having to wade through multiple short-falls mange to some how break-through.
@@lastguyminn2324 Or they recast. Or they created this for the pilot and just decided to stick with it. The show aired so late in the season that they clearly had no faith in it and were just burning it off.
"The Cavanaugh's" opening seemed to take an ETERNITY! These are the days before 15-second opening themes (or 'zero-second' in the case of Seinfeld :) ).
They were already getting shorter by the end of the 1970s. The themes from *Diff’rent Strokes* and *the Facts of Life* and both themes from *Gimme A Break!* are all 50 seconds long. Disney’s Sunday night show around this time switched from extended medleys of their most famous songs to a 45-second disco song replaced with an even shorter disco version of a *Pinocchio* song. Even *The Golden Girls* only captures 42 seconds of a song that was originally nearly five minutes! *The Simpsons* was the exception when its credit sequence originally ran 90 seconds. Some shows barely have them at all anymore. *F(r)iends* ruined it for a lot of people, myself included. It took five people to write that piece of shit song, but the *Mister Ed* theme only needed Jay Livingston and Ray Evans.
The FCC relaxed the rules for prime time commercial time as they only applied to that particular time period. But even daytime TV increased the number of commercials. Years ago, I found a 1986 episode of *Guiding Light.* My mom managed to tape and save the tape of. I timed the running time without commercials. It was approximately 42 minutes. When I recorded the final episode to a DVD-R and paused the commercials, it didn’t even hit the 40-minute mark! Shrinkflation started with everyone’s favorite TV shows, and mine and my family’s were affected reciprocally!
Actors who I recognise and/or went on to bigger things: Martin Short, Brad Garrett, Brian Dennehy, Bryan Cranston, Alyson Hannigan, Alison Sweeney, Barry Bostwick, Dan Hedaya, Dana Delaney, Dee Wallace, Maria Conchita Alonso, Robbie Benson, Adam Arkin, Art Metrano, Lainie Kazan, Paul Rodriguez, Matt Craven, Elizabeth Peña, Always good to see these old shows in hindsight just to see any familiar names and faces and where they started out.
This sure brings back memories of watching none of these shows.
Hilarious
🤣😂🤣🤣😂
And I never heard of half these actors
😆😆😆😆😆
Haha ur hilarious!
I watched a lot of TV in the 80s and I swear I don't remember about 99% of these shows.
That's just what I was thinking.
Ditto. But was interesting that I recognized some of kids who went on to better things.
@@weltonvillegal6258 not many of those actors went on to better things, a few.

“You can’t judge a book by it’s cover.”
But I feel you can absolutely judge these shows by their opening. 😂
I always feel bad for actors who tell their parents and friends “I’m co-starring in a TV sitcom!” And then a week later saying “My show was canceled after the theme song played.”
They should have gotten a job! The Post Office is always hiring.
@@CrackHeadHuntersDopeman I retired from the post office. I wouldn’t recommend that job for ANYONE.
It's kinda sad. Of all the actors I saw I only recognized five or six. For most of them, this was their only shot.
The blanket on the back of the couch from "The Cavanaughs" went on to a fairly successful career as the blanket on the back of Roseanne's couch.
LOL!!
Smart ass!

Yeah that blanket was in a few different shows. That blanket had a more successful career than like 90% of the sitcom actors shown in these clips

Small wonder was great
Can’t help but think the quality of each show is directly related to the amount of time each actor looks at the camera during their intro
This goes to show that for every MASH or Seinfeld there are 10 of these types of shows. I never heard of about 90% of these shows, or their 'stars'. Seeing Martin Short and Bryan Cranston in small roles was a surprise.
I was surprised to see Alyson Hannigan who would go on to play Lily in How I Met Your Mother around 20 years later

The theme song from Fathers and Sons is painful enough.
Just think of the chorus of "Playground in my Mind" :) - ua-cam.com/video/40fcNHY349I/v-deo.html
Exactly!
This entire video is torture, but can't seem to stop watching
All of these songs would have their music recycled in Depends and Tampon commercials
God no kidding! I barfed a lot ...
Clearly Morrissey wrote most of these theme songs. I’d recognize his touch anywhere. Few people know that “Girlfriend in a Coma” was the theme of a Scott Baio sitcom called “Nighty Night Julie.”
Lol ty
I like how the intro to Dads was done by the sketch artist responsible for every local department sale newspaper ad in the 1970s... or The Joy of Sex?
I can't stop myself from thinking how excited these actors must have been, filming their intros for what they think will be the next Cosby Show, only to be disposed of after the pilot...
So many young careers launched into a brick wall.
This is like a masterclass in how to write an 80s sitcom theme song
😂😂😂

Facts. And they had to be aired by the then-new Fox network because the big 3 weren’t going to change.
That show you gave a timestamp for is why *Family Guy* is called so. And also so it can be used as a rhyme in the theme song.
But they did change: they got worse! More (and louder) commercials, more (and louder) man-bashing (negating the impact of the Gay characters they reluctantly allowed on the air), more (and louder) agit-prop from Norman Lear wannabes, more (and louder) headache-inducing attempts to copy music videos long after MTV stopped showing them, and worst of all, more “reality” TV because the networks and studios got tired of paying writers more for the same garbage as always only worse than ever before. Not to mention those stupid bugs on the screen that will do permanent damage to your TV if they are left on long enough.

Right???
Star Lord yep
The Fathers and Sons theme song was excruciatingly painful. Glad I don’t remember it.
The only show I remember is I'm a Big Girl Now because of the theme song and because it was Danny Thomas's last series. Watching these clips can make me sad because you see scores of actors that you never heard of who had dreams that ultimately went unfulfilled. By contrast, it's fun to see the bad decisions made by accomplished actors like Brian Dennehy.
He did another TV show in first-run syndication later in the decade called *One Big Family.* It’s only after that point that he retired.
I know! I adore Brian Dennehy! A great actor! Why would he agree to do such crap?,
I remember that one too because of Diana Canova and Martin Short. Both good actors, unfortunately not a good vehicle. And Paul Witt had some very successful ahows.
Plus, the one with a young Bryan Cranston. It took me a second to realize it was him with the beginnings of a mullet. 😊

The Fathers and Sons intro literally shrank my nards.
It made my ovaries turn into raisins.
They all seem kind the kind of show that would be on weekend afternoons when every other channel showed sports.
Jason Priesly said, he was shocked when Beverly Hills 90210 got green lit after the pilot. He thought it sucked.
I now understand why cable TV became so popular in the 80s.
It was also because cable TV had no commercials at one time.
Cable did have shows like HBO's "1st & 10" and Showtime's "Brothers" which had similar aesthetics, but dealt with more adult issues.
They did on basic cable.
"Fathers and Sons will return after these messages."
Please don't.
Lol
I think when they took that commercial break that was the end of the show.

That theme song is painful
That makes the *Love, Sidney* theme song sound like something by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
I only know about "The Cavanaughs" because it played in Pakistan in 1991. It was hard to miss as there was only one TV channel at the time over there.

Huh. I was a kid/teen during the '80s, and I don't remember any of these.
I now know why Cranston chose politics over an acting career...😹😹😹
The Diana Canova/Danny Thomas/Martin Short Big Girl show was the only one that showed real promise because it was produced by the Soap sitcom people. If they changed the silly title it might have succeeded.
@@BethPaigeSame…not a single one.
People talk about how so many things in the 80's were created because "everyone was on drugs" but I'm pretty sure these creators were on nothing stronger than a lukewarm glass of water.
😂😂😂😂😂
Ellie McKibben
I haven’t heard that one before. Everyone was not on drugs then but I find a lot of people are on them today. Yes, I’m including weed too.
@@tonyawood2911 I see people always associate 80's Hollywood with cocaine, but I doubt it was limited to just that decade haha
Ellie McKibben
You’re right. I forgot about Miami and cocaine.
That's the '70s you're thinking of.
Wow. Images from a parallel Earth. I don’t remember any of these shows.
Me either, but good Lord they look awful
Count your blessings, dude!
The 80s were the era of making single parent families look fun and glamorous
They WEREN'T?
i vaguly remeber i'm a big girl now
and Star of the family
Notice though, most of the time it was ether a buddy comedy with kids added or The Aunt/Grandma/Older Sister had to take care of things because Mom died or only appeared in the first episode.
The one with the divorced couple living across the street, including Ex Mother in Law to care for the Ex- husband, now that's cringe! Who does that? I would never!
Psyop
Most of those obscure family sitcoms tended to have theme songs that sounded exactly the same.

Sheesh none really made it past a year
@@miraclesfollowme the Cavanaughs
The dates that are listed is for the Mickey Rooney sitcom that aired on NBC in 1982. Included in this compilation of openings is a different series with the same title from 1989 that also aired on NBC. Bernie Orenstein and Saul Turteltaub created the 1982 series. They were the main producers on the later seasons of That Girl and Sanford and Son.
I don't remember a single one of these and I'm not sure how that's possible.
elsquibbs Most of them probably didn't last longer than one episode, so that's probably the reason.
You were watching something not as bad on another chanel
They're all pilots that never saw the light of day.
I don’t remember any of these shows in the 80’s and I watched a lot of TV as a kid.
The problem with TV in the 80's was that they were trying to have the same kind of success as shows in the 70's. Too many "spin-offs" and too many shows based on a movie's success. Successful shows are like lightening in a bottle, it's a combination of a great idea and really talented writers as well as likeable and relatable cast. Most of these flops didn't air long enough to even be memorable. Of the 80's successful shows that stand out for me are Miami Vice and Moon Lighting.
I don't remember all of these sitcoms, but I imagine a lot of them came out in 1984 or just after then, when THE COSBY SHOW just about single-handedly revived tv sitcoms.
can we include Cheers among standout successes that decade?
By all means, but its success was not instantaneous. There is an early promo for the show here on UA-cam that apparently turned a lot of viewers off with its condescending tone that said nothing about the show and everything about the network that aired it. As it was, it almost didn’t survive its first season until it won the Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy and jumped up in the ratings by several spots. Even without *Cosby,* it likely would have survived anyway.
Starring Merlin Olsen and Hakeem? How’d I miss that dynamic duo?
ForlornFreddy 1:25 how the only black dude on the show got no last name?? Just awful!! Lol
Sounds more like a wrasslin tag-team
@@LEXRAPS His full name is Hakeem Abdul-Samad. I'm not sure why they decided to drop his last name.
@@jonathanbethards3689 During the 80s in the WWF there was a wrestler named Hakeem, so you're half right.
@@ForEternia The African Dream, part of the Twin Towers with Big Boss Man. Akeem later became One Man Gang.
I don’t know what was worse..the shows or the theme songs!
Elizabeth Roberts Feel like I’m at a campfire
@EnnuiVision Your opinion.
Fathers & Sons theme song...Holy craptastic!
@@whatjonisees No surprise it didn't last long. I guess the one token black kid wasn't enough to save it.
Cameron Gage the black kid ending up making it Big , him & his brothers ended up being in a boy Band clld “the Boyz” they did very well
That Merlin Olsen show, the 2nd one here...Fathers and Sons....that theme song.....The definition of CLOYING!
I never watched any of them before. Despite me watching all the TV 📺 I could when I was awake.
As someone whos 50 now and grew up in the 80's doing nothing but watching tv all day everyday, i figure at least one of these show will look at least familiar. Nope not a one.
I was wondering if these were even real,I dont remember any of them.
They were probably summer fillers.
Frank Garrett That and syndicated television was a big factor back in the 80’s too.
RON B
Same. What planet are these sitcoms from??
I’m an 80s baby so didnt I grow up in the 80s too? Or does that term only mean reaching adulthood or young adulthood?
Most of these look like parodies OF sitcoms. They look like things Peter Griffin would be watching on an episode of "Family Guy."
Like "Family Man" with Richard Libertini and Mimi Kennedy.
That's all it. 80's pop culture in general was so formulaic that you can parody most of it with quick visual shorthand.
That's an oversimplification. you can't judge all 80's pop culture by this batch of crap. These look like parodies or shows geared to preschoolers.
Like "Too Many Cooks"! 😃
Funny you should say that, at 7:26 we see a young Scott Grimes, well known as the voice of Steve Smith in American Dad
Ah, the 80's, where if you weren't sure what the show was going to be about, don't worry - the entire premise and exposition would be explained to you in explicit detail in the opening credits
As a kid, I spent a large portion of each day watching bad TV. I am shocked that I know of so few of these shows. And OMG, do the first few look PAINFUL! I will admit, I would probably have watched 2 or 3 of these shows, had I been aware of them.
After watching these intros, I can understand why The Simpsons were such a sensation when it debuted in 1989.
HeatherM0891 ... If I remember correctly The Simpson’s actually premiered on Thursdays opposite The Cosby Show. The networks didn’t think it had a chance and look where we are now, season 30. Although not nearly as funny as it once was.
@@shaner743 The Simpsons originally aired on Sundays. But then Bill Cosby started complaining about what a bad influence Bart Simpson was for society. Fox thought, "Yeah well we'll show you", and they temporarily moved The Simpsons opposite The Cosby Show to take away some of his viewers.
Animated shows--primarily The Simpsons at first, and later South Park and (to a lesser extent) Family Guy, took up some of the slack in terms of what was watchable on a given night, in the face of the many other mediocre-to-bad shows that were shown on other networks in the same time slot, or at later or earlier times on the same night on any network, etc.
+Shane R I agree the Simpsons isn't nearly as funny as it once was--I pretty much stopped watching after about 11-12 seasons (and after maybe 10 seasons of South Park, 8-9 seasons of Family Guy--these two I've just seen in reruns).
supertuber120 Bill Cosby calling Bart Simpson a bad influence? If we only knew then what we know now!
I feel like I'm in rick and morty watching weird ass tv shows from another dimension
That's exactly how the 70's and 80's felt.
Just dont eat that guys eyeholes cereal, he'll go fucking mental.
You are..trust me..never heard of these either
@Uncle Ruckus I know a good amount of shows from the 80s none of these ring a bell
Wubba lub lub BITCHES!!.....
Absolutely convinced RwDt09 made these up because I have never heard of ANY of them and I was born in 1957 and watched a lot of TV during this period.
The Cavanaughs actually got a three year run. After which their audience got time off for good behavior. A more appropriate title for Tough Cookies would have been Tough S**t.
I feel like I’ve slipped into some alternate reality because I don’t remember a single one of these intros, but they are all so confident like they were real shows that people watched
I'm oddly fascinated by how frequently the intro makers of the 80s used "still photos" as the central design element.
You're right, that is an "odd" fascination... ;)
*Punky Brewster* didn’t do that despite Henry’s job as a photographer. Working that into that show would’ve backed the producers into a corner after he was forced to give it up to go into the restaurant business. They already had to give up most of the animation they created for the season one opening because the transition from live-action to animation was far from seamless.
I’ve watched this video several times since I first found it in 2021, but it never occurred to me to ask myself if I, born in 1985, remember any of these shows?
13 East is very familiar looking. If it aired in 1989-90, that’s when my mother was in nursing school, and it wouldn’t surprise me if she’d watch this show because it was relevant to her life.
More than that, when I saw the tiled walls in the intro, it flooded my memory with what kid me must have thought when she saw it: “it looks like the pool at the Y!”
Aaaaand that’s it. A half-forgotten blur from when I was 4 years old.
I recall a few: The Cavanaughs (QUITE bad, felt sorry for the cast)and I'm a Big Girl Now(amazingly NOT bad for semi-retired Danny Thomas and post-Soap Diana Canova). The rest of these, if I remember them AT ALL, I'd see their ads in TV Guide and think 'Ah...Robby Benson as a cop...I think I'll pass' . These responses have me LOL. The opening credit sequences and their themes are both abysmal AND YET probably necessary to ponder the numbing amount of retread TV(mostly sitcoms)ideas that trod the '80s landscape. Only surprised the Jack Klugman-John Stamos misfire "You Again" wasn't in this.
I remember I'm a Big Girl Now but I didn't watch it. Maybe a few seconds then turn the channel three times then it was snow from there.
"You Again" is in another wonderful compilation on UA-cam.
Keeping that show on for one more year could have kept a huge Pandora’s box shut tight.
Martin Olsen became became more famous for working on shows like adventure time and phineas and ferb I mean he was the voice of Marcelines dad Hunson Abadeer
The cheesy video effects are fun, and it is interesting to see big names on their way up (or down). But the perky, heart-warming and life-affirming intro songs have left me wanting to be cruel to a total stranger.
That's classic, usually Broadcast TV for you. Like the old Billy Joel song says, The 'Good Old Days' weren't always good and Tomorrow isn't as bad as it seems......Current political regime makes that statement seem like a stretch, but still...
me neither
Or to a "perfect stranger"? 😎
So true. That's what the '80s did to some of us, and left us on the couch of Beavis & Butt-head by the '90s. Or Mystery Science 3000's movie theater.
Yes, so true.@@adamlaurie8907
I never thought I'd say this, but all these sitcoms make something like Full House look butch.
Of course, you naturally said that before the college test cheating scandal, right?
You mean *Full Jailhouse.* I couldn’t help but notice how a show with a similar premise, one that didn’t come out of the Miller-Boyett bilge factory, aired Friday nights on ABC a year before it premiered.
You just made me spit my coffee!
😂😂😂
Starring a pre-full house allison sweeney @3:26 ;)
You weren’t an 80s sitcom until you had “and Dan Hedaya” on your casting call list.
I remember some of these shows in each of the yearly TV Guide Fall Preview issues. But not actually watching them.
Wow, Bryan Cranston doesn't list "Raising Miranda" on his bio-page....wonder why.
Would you?
Lol we should call him out on it. Does he have a Twitter? Lol WE DEMAND YOU CHANGE THIS!!!!!!!
Was Bryan Cranston's character a meth dealer on that show?:)
primekiller The show would have been more interesting if he was a meth dealer.
@@primekiller5729 IDK, with that Perma-stubble look he was rocking, if he'd be allowed within 500 feet of a High School
As someone who has watched David Rappaport use toys to stop crime, Pat Morita playing a detective, and Andy Griffith building a rocket out of garbage; I'm impressed with the number of these I've not heard of.
You're referring to The Wizard, Ohara & Salvage 1.
Mr T and Tina was Pat Morita in 1976
i loved the Wizard ( i think i saw it when i was 7, on CHCH 11 from Hamiton via Cable here in Canada). Ohara i also remember, i think Kevin Conroy was on that, and it was out around the same time as Hooperman, the first 'dramadey'
What’s great is that you can guess the pitch for each show from the contents of the intros. Saves you having to watch any of them.
Michael Dudikoff. In a sitcom co-starring with Brian Dennehy. With a country twang.
Wow.
Looks like I played "Space Invaders" for a whole decade.
I must have been in a coma, I don't remember any of these shows.
chris keeley LMAO!!!
😂😂😂😂
Probably lasted one episode
you were in a coma to save yourself from these shows!
You were. Welcome back.
Did someone actually say, "You know, we need to give Richard Libertini his own show." Guess the answer was yes.
I actually do rem "nothing is easy". The fact that data from goonies was on a show always stuck in my mind. I didn't think it was terrible show, but it lasted maybe half a season.
Dee Wallace too!
Tough Cookies?!?!?
“I’ve got to get home to watch Tough Cookies”
John Smith haha 😂
Lol. Easily my favorite title of the bunch.
...because I guess this was the best alternative to "Tough Shit".
That had an all star cast and yet must have bombed. The name definitively didn't help.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The 80s somehow managed to simultaneously be both the best and worst decade ever.
90s were better
@@filozof90 , at being worse?
Thank Devo for that :D
rrmond you wouldn’t know it unless you been there. Strange days for sure.
💯💯😂😂
It’s hard to believe that all of these shows aren’t part of the Too Many Cooks universe. Some of these seem as if people had A.I. create the songs and intros.
My fav intro is the one where the cast has bad ass instruments behind them, clearly emphasizing how totally bodacious and/or radical your viewing experience is about to get.
Well, you finally got me. Didn't recognize one show.
Well, other than recognizing "Nothing in Common" as an attempt to be an adaptation of a 1986 movie of the same name (which had much better talent), I'm in the same boat.
Same here. Truely unmemorable, one or two show disasters. These are truly awful. But suffice it to say, that in some alternate universe, these shows were hits.
Winnie I think, the shows name was Free Spirit
Yes, Corinne was "Winnie Goodwinn", a "free spirit" witch who often got the kids she was supposed to look after in trouble {Daddy doesn't KNOW she's a witch- they DO}. The series lasted 13 episodes in the fall of 1989.
Ditto.
The amount of "heart warming" nonsense in this comp made me diabetic. So, thanks for that.
Ooo, gross! Brady Bunch-esque. Rehashing their '70s hey-dey. With better clothes and hair. But only slightly. Toss Happy Days update of harmless '50s in there, too.
Yes, indeed, Sean. Hear! Hear!@Sean Wilkinson
+Val Venus That's pretty harsh, hating someone because their parents picked out a name for them that you don't like.
Until now I had mercifully forgotten what 2nd generation VCR copies look like.
im 63 i never heard of any of these shows some of the characters i recognize who went on to do bigger and better things.
I'm pretty sure 99% of these were pilots and never got green lighted for 13 episodes...much less 2.
as a rule, I think Everything this Channel compiles for these videos was ordered to Series... (whether Fall Launch or Mid-Season replacement) some shows 'might' be canceled in under 3* episodes or see a change in plans between running the ads and the intended debut, but all were Ordered to series (meaning that due to filming schedules and lead time to air a minimum of 6 episodes likely exist/existed for every one of these
I think the record for Speed of Cancelation is a Tie between a 70's Variety Show & Heather Graham's '06 sitcom where the order came down in the Middle of the First episode Airing on the East Coast... IIRC the Variety show went to commercial and when the commercial break was Over Affiliates were instructed to put on a Re-run of something else... and in both cases many west Coast affiliates know the shows' fates never bothered to air them.
I am only halfway through and already feeling ill
I actually remember "The Cavanaughs" theme song from when I was a little kid, haven't heard it in over 30 years and probably haven't thought about it since then either. It's actually quite pretty. :)
I was present for the 80s... and sober most of the time... and I remember exactly ONE of these... Star of the Family. Most of these look like they were on NBC, which is not surprising.
I thought I had seen a lot of rubbish sitcoms in the 80s, but I have never even heard of any of these. I was lucky!
I have only seen The Cavanaughs and Have Faith, and only remember seeing previews of I'm a Big Girl Now. All of the other shows looked pretty bad to me!
Wow, what a bunch of cookie-cutter shows.. same openings, same selection of cast member types, same fonts, and theme songs that must have all been written by the same person. And I don't remember one of them.
Paul Junger Witt and Tony Thomas must have had it in their contract to have the same exact "Soap"/"Benson" white-on-black font on EVERY single one of their shows. It was copied over for "The Golden Girls" as well. Luckily there was enough talent in that series to overcome THAT intro.
These are the kind of shows that you would see in an old age home where the TV is on 24/7 and nobody knows how to change the channel
In the 80s, I had gone through an expensive divorce, was living in a small studio apartment, was working long hours and did not have a TV. Never heard of most of these shows or their "stars". Life was good!
I had a similar situation. Worked 12 hour overnight shift, slept all day. TV memories of the 80s are Cheers, Dallas and Knots Landing. But during some of that time, I didn't even have a TV.
You mean to tell me that Hakeem, even at his young age, (in the show Fathers and Sons) was just that well known in Hollywood and abroad, that he only needed to go by one name?!!!
Mt. Theodore Alan that’s Hakeem Abdul Samad from that boy band The Boys back in the late 80’s. I guess they knew they were gonna butcher his name so they just went with what they could spell. In retrospect, that was probably a good idea.
Wow Bryan Cranston at 8:42! Makes you appreciate the tenacity of actors who despite having to wade through multiple short-falls mange to some how break-through.
There's a lot of surprises in here: Brad Garrett, Dan Hedaya, Alyson Hannigan.
He had a good murder she wrote episode too
It was the 80 so I assume he was making Angel Dust instead of Meth.
Well at least Danny Cooksey went on to do Salute Your Shorts and made a cameo in Terminator 2
Ahhhhh....nuthin’ like the HD quality of a nice VHS cassette.
"Sweet Surrender" was so bad, the actors didn't want their faces shown...wow.
bigtex macgonigle makes you wonder how desperate Dana Delany was for work.
@David Vazquez She was born in 1956...so she was like 30-31 in China Beach.
Likely they made the opening before the show was cast.
That’s what I was thinking
@@lastguyminn2324 Or they recast. Or they created this for the pilot and just decided to stick with it. The show aired so late in the season that they clearly had no faith in it and were just burning it off.
"The Cavanaugh's" opening seemed to take an ETERNITY!
These are the days before 15-second opening themes (or 'zero-second' in the case of Seinfeld :) ).
I was thinking that SAME thing, David ! The credits went on & on ! I started to wonder how large the cast was gonna be !!
@@jubalcalif9100 The Love Boat immediately comes to mind.
shows were actually a few minutes longer back then. Actually fewer ads. Not today.
They were already getting shorter by the end of the 1970s. The themes from *Diff’rent Strokes* and *the Facts of Life* and both themes from *Gimme A Break!* are all 50 seconds long. Disney’s Sunday night show around this time switched from extended medleys of their most famous songs to a 45-second disco song replaced with an even shorter disco version of a *Pinocchio* song. Even *The Golden Girls* only captures 42 seconds of a song that was originally nearly five minutes!
*The Simpsons* was the exception when its credit sequence originally ran 90 seconds. Some shows barely have them at all anymore. *F(r)iends* ruined it for a lot of people, myself included. It took five people to write that piece of shit song, but the *Mister Ed* theme only needed Jay Livingston and Ray Evans.
The FCC relaxed the rules for prime time commercial time as they only applied to that particular time period.
But even daytime TV increased the number of commercials. Years ago, I found a 1986 episode of *Guiding Light.* My mom managed to tape and save the tape of. I timed the running time without commercials. It was approximately 42 minutes. When I recorded the final episode to a DVD-R and paused the commercials, it didn’t even hit the 40-minute mark! Shrinkflation started with everyone’s favorite TV shows, and mine and my family’s were affected reciprocally!
Say what you will, but at least the internet allows us to share doses of nostalgia like this.
These shows were either fall, midseason replacements, or syndicated sitcoms that you knew were going to be canceled after 6 or 13 episodes.
I feel like this is where Family Guy gets all its 80s references from.
Ariel Andy complete with upbeat 80s theme songs
Scott Grimes would go onto working with Seth MacFarlane on American Dad, The Orville, as well as a music career.
How could they make a list like this and leave out “My Black Son”?
The 80s was Stop and Stare at the camera. The 70s (not in these clips) was Head Floating in a Box or Circle.
@@joerules829 Also he's a Ninja.
Actors who I recognise and/or went on to bigger things: Martin Short, Brad Garrett, Brian Dennehy, Bryan Cranston, Alyson Hannigan, Alison Sweeney, Barry Bostwick, Dan Hedaya, Dana Delaney, Dee Wallace, Maria Conchita Alonso, Robbie Benson, Adam Arkin, Art Metrano, Lainie Kazan, Paul Rodriguez, Matt Craven, Elizabeth Peña,
Always good to see these old shows in hindsight just to see any familiar names and faces and where they started out.
I get the feeling those show do not appear on their resumes
kbamm69 Robbie Benson is PAID making Disney soundtracks. I mean PAID
I'm guessing you're not a scifi person since you missed Stephen Furst and John de Lancie.
I recognized Brad Garrett and the kid who played Short Round in an Indiana Jones movie.
What about scott Grimes from the orville
It’s wild when someone actually famous shows up in one of these. Martin Short, Bryan Cranston, Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan, what are you doing?!
16:30 I'm guessing that that lady slipping and falling like that was a real accident that they decided to leave in.
