• Guess The 80s TV Show ...
Have fun and guess the shows that were in the 80s or mostly in the 80s! :)
(P.S. Sorry if there are any mistakes in the theme songs!)
(Also, I do not own any rights to any of these theme songs, all of the rights go to the respected owners.) - Розваги
What a time to be alive!!! TV was SO GOOD back then.
So so true.... They were great years
It really was.. u had to be there 😊
It sure was. Equally good were the movies and songs of the time.
Yes agree. I'm 45 missing being a kid
Amazing how many you get in the first 2 or 3 seconds, and the wave of nostalgia comes on like the sea and makes you want to go back to a way of life in which you're watching all these shows again.
So sorry! I usually check the date before "liking". A year later you doubtfully remember this. Well, here's to the 80's! Blessings!
@@mistannybell5127 I love the 80s shows and the music. It has gonedownhill. The only one I like is Cobra Kai.
Anyone else sad that so many of the songs ended in 15 seconds?
I was caught up in listening to the songs. Some were incredible and live on long after the show.
IKR!!!!!
Same feeling as the last 80s quiz…
The full songs are available on UA-cam.
Yessss .. I would listend to the entire tracks if they made it that way ...
WOW ... took me back Man . " Our Era " was the Dopest 💪🏾❤️🙏🏾
Another reason the 80’s rocked. They put so much effort into things including the theme songs and rich music to match the shows. Timeless classics!
Speak it! 👍🏾
No it’s just another reason you wanted the 80’s to rock because we all know you wouldn’t want to go back their
@@CricketEngland I was a little girl so I’m nostalgic. I didn’t see through the eyes or an adult.
@@CricketEngland It's "there", not "their"
@@billyclub9733 wow woopee doo the spelling police are out again!
These videos unlocked a part of my brain that laid dormant for 30 years. Some shows I got right away, others I clearly remember the theme song and can visualize the show but can't remember the title and others I knew I have heard the song and can tell right away that I never watched the show with any regularity.
The funny part is, I watched virtually none of these shows, but I still remember every theme song. I watched a few 1-hours shows such as ATeam and Magnum. But most, I didn't watch. Yet, I'm hauntingly still familiar with all the themes.
@Flat Earth Focker Ditto!
It is sad to say that I watched every show on this list ...no joke....I was a tv junkie heck my mom didn't play that running the streets.
I'm just upset chips wasn't on there, kept waiting for it, do so da do da do do do Sao do do
Yes, same! I'm pushing 40 and I had that experience with this. What a blast from the past!
I remember about 80% of the shows... how I passed school with all these shows is mind boggling. Love it.
We actually had brains back then and used them kids today are never going to survive without the internet
Same 😂
I don't miss gag me & lassie
I feel sad. I was so young when some of these shows would come on. I can still hear my mom screaming at me to go to bed! Especially hearing Moon Lightning. R.I.P Al Jarreau!
Lol. Yes. Exactly
A genious ❤
And you put in The Greatest American Hero!!!! Ralph is a legend!!!!
This takes you back to the good old days and brings back so many memories it brings you to tears the 80s was the best
That 80s jingle was serious! Theme songs were incredible
Yes I'm sitting up here jamming. I still watch these shows...
Mike Post and Pete Carpenter were famous for t.v. music.
Theme songs are not jingles.
A trivia. The old man from Punky Brewster. George Gaynes, costarred from 1984 to 1989 in the Police Academy films as Commandant Lesard.
And lived till his late 90s.
That is an understatement he was the one that made the police academy movies what it was
I loved him as the untalented, washed up actor in Tootsie.
he did Police Academy first, then Punky debuted, and for the rest of the decade kept pumping out Police Academy movies and the show kept on too.
I should have known that! Wow.
How on earth did I not recognize the theme song for Remington Steele? Omg, I had the biggest crush on Pierce Brosnan!
Same thing with me I adored Stephanie Zimblast!!
Had?? I wouldn't say no to this day.
Me too!
If you don’t know the theme song to Greatest American Hero you missed one of the best TV theme songs of the 1980’s!
...and missed the background of one of the best jokes on Seinfeld.
@@lightyagami1752 Hmmm, which one?
@@easye5653 "Believe it or not, I'm not home!" - George's answering machine.
@@lightyagami1752 Hilarious! I should have remembered. 🙄
George Costanza used it for his answering machine...it's that awesome
Who else remembers getting Snacks...then running to the Living Room when you heard the Theme Song?
Never will tv be this great again. Sad to say.
80s Man yeah, where’s our escape? That’s what TV was supposed to be
Nothing will ever be as great as the 80s..
You're right..late 70's & 80' tv show is the best👍🏼
Yes..when no black people were on shows?or only played servants?!!yes white America!!good on ya
Nazi
I used to watch these shows with my grandma and auntie R.I.P to both of them
Thank you for putting "The Greatest American Hero" in this video. Made my day! ...I used to watch it when I was a child and I loved it. Still do!
Didn't care for the show but loved the theme song.
They dont make theme songs as memorable as these anymore.. 😍
OK, who guessed Fall Guy the instant they heard the finger snap? Simon & Simon is one of the coolest t.v. theme songs!
i forgot the name but the song reminded me of Lee Majors frm the begining
Farrah of course.
My late husband loved simon and simon.
I did, and I still sing along with the song wherever I hear it!
I've hear the Star Trek theme many times I didn't even recognize it.
The 80s were optimistic times, when a young empire thought it was invincible and did not know what the future holds.
Fun fact: Star Trek the next generation reuses the music from Star Trek the motion picture
Aw .. no The Littlest Hobo again. Granted it started at the end of 79. But went to 85. I'd consider that 80s.
"Maybe tomorrow I'll wanna settle down.
Until tomorrow I'll just keep moving on...." Love that theme song.
These were just awesome and so was part 1. Thank you for putting all this together and taking us down memory lane. Great memories.
Aawww The Who’s the Boss Theme song! Mom and I would always hug because the characters were hugging ❤️❤️❤️
the theme song of The Fall Guy made me smile
That was one of my favorite shows. Heather Thomas, holy moly, 👀.
The 80's surely had some great theme tunes.
aero smith No... you meant your mom
Yes Indeed
My wife and I would like an 80s cartoon version of this. Great videos!
There are a number out there on youtube
Loved the show Simon & Simon, great theme song 👍
The other greatest one, Hardcastle and McCormick and The Fall Guy.
I LOVED Kate and Allie! I have very fond memories of watching it with my now late mom. Thank you for this stroll down memory lane! Cagney and Lacey was her favorite!
“Cagney and Lacey”! Look at how pretty Tyne Daly was! ❤️
No way gag me & lassie
Yeah time wasn’t kind to Tyne Daly
My life passing by...
bibolcs my sentiments exactly 😩
I'm pretty sure the 1980's was king of the t.v. show.
7Earthsky The 80s were splendid in so many ways.
I miss sitcoms !! Too much “reality” garbage these days.
with a certainly close 70's & 90's, but that's just me..... maybe? right? (Hope I'm not showing my age too much,erm, I am only 16 ;))
7Earthsky
And electric guitar.
it sure was
Wow, I can't believe how many different shows were in the 80's! I did pretty good in part 1, but I totally sucked at this one. Too many shows for my brain to process. Thanks for the great memories
Right there with you. Only got like 5 of them. Air wolf /the greatest American hero/ Star Trek the next generation/ Charles in charge/ and Simon and Simon 😂
I miss the 80's. I watched almost all of these. Has it been 30 + years already????
I knew about 95% of the songs but couldn't remember 55% of the shows they belonged too. The shows with kids' were the easiest because I watched them all. And my mom and sister watched most of the others.
It’s amazing how some of these actors/actresses went on to amazing careers and the rest fell off the face of the Earth.
My sister used to babysit for Van, the brother of Lee Horsely (matt houston). She met him once while he was visiting. He was starring in "Paradise" at the time.
Many of these were familiar, if only in the sense that they made me feel like my mother would appear any second and tell me it's past my bedtime, and that I should already be asleep. Yes, I was a kid in the 80's.
Is it sad that I know ALL of these theme songs, yet I wouldn't know a single theme song to a current prime time show?? I guess we were all a captive audience! Great quiz!
No it's not, the Cultural Marxism kicked into high gear in the 90s and today's TV shows are a wasteland filled with negative stereotypes compared to the 80s.
Im sure in 40 years you'll remember the theme to Stranger Things, due to its quantum entanglement with the 80s in that way, but most shows now can't even afford to spend a few seconds on a jingle or tune let alone a full blown story-telling theme song without losing a significant percentage of time. Too bad too because often, the tune at the start also helped to "prime" us watchers for the next 30 or 60 minutes, Hill Street Blues theme got you to prepare for some dramatic, sad and serious events; Airwolf, Matt Houston, Hunter got you to start preparing adrenaline for their action-packed scenes; etc - it was a moment to help you transition yourself to get in the mindset for the show, music and themes triggering base brain reactions. The more unique and instantaneous the music kicked up associations with the show (ie everyone can identify Knight Rider within 1/30th of a second, macguyver within 1/10th of a second, etc) the better job it did to just help activate our brains to prepare for the next hour :)
I think a big part of the problem is the streaming services. A lot of great intros, we just skip them.
It's also an age thing. You remember things easier when you're young. Todays kids will remember todays shows in 30 years in a similar way.
@@boomod3825 I won't remember it because I don't even remember it now, even after watching the first 2 seasons until it burned out, because if I survive, I'll be in my 90s! ;) Most kids who actually grew up in the 80s know Stranger Things is a lot of anachronistic poser crap that just tried desperately to jump on the 80s nostalgia train. They should've gotten people who actually grew up during the 80s to consult at the very least. Embarrassing how they messed up the music to such an noticeably off-putting degree. There are plenty of other TV shows that have been amazing in the last 10 years that I WILL remember, however, well into old age. Stranger Things will not be one of them.
greatest American hero... had me inspired as a kid...... dang I feel good AND old..... thanx!
MinLeeMajors ...man a lot of people don't remember that show...I watched it in 78-80 that's what I remember.
I remember that my elementary school teacher could play that song on his acoustic guitar that he'd bring to class sometimes because I think he took lessons after school. He ended up making a record that I think I still might have in my collection of yearbooks and stuff. By the way, his name was Bill Linderman.
No muscles came with the suit...or instructions
I had both the single and album with The Greatest American Hero theme song. I loved it from the beginning and Joey Scarbury did an excellent job writing and performing the song!
@@MrBacchus18 Actually it did come with the instructions to the use of the suit. If you remember he took the suit out of the box in the debut episode and dropped the instructions when he walked to his house holding them in his hands. Oops!😄
Denzel Washington has done well since St Elsewhere. Also Mark Harmon was in that show and he's still on TVs. You can catch him in NCIS.
Don't forget Howie!!
Heather Locklear, Heather Thomas, Alyssa Milano and Nicole Eggert. Thank you 1980s.
I guess all the guys in my class, including myself, that grew up watching Alyssa Milano, had a crush on her the full 8 seasons of Who's the Boss?
whats crazy is that Josie Davis is sooo much better looking than Nicole Eggert. Check her out; shes looking ridic even now
Andrew Lowden Yes, she definitely aged better. Back in the day though...
@@bknsty14 agreed, I was thinking like back in the day who would have seen that coming!
Milano is a worthless liberal
I'm a Gen Z kid and thanks to my parents for getting me some of this stuff.
Great to see Airwolf here!
Omg what a wonderful video. Thank you so much for putting these together. So much nostalgia.
Absolutely, and using the original TV intros instead of the slightly different ones from soundtracks - if released at all - is just the icing on the 80s cake. :) THANK YOU
Only needed the sound of the engine to get Hardcastle and McCormack. lol Overall I only got 5 correct. Great fun playing along, thanks.
4:49 The inspiration for "Believe it or not George isn't at home, I wonder where he could be... " on Seinfeld.
They should do 90's shows next
"Believe it or not, George isn't at home, please leave a message at the beep. I must be out, else I'd pick up the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home."
I was 15 in 1984 ..... great music, tv shows, movies, so many fond memories. Remember going to see the Goonies, Aliens, all those great movies, all the New Wave music which was awesome. I had a Swatch like everyone else. I remember watching Miami Vice for the first time and I was blown away. Cheers, The Greatest American Hero, Automan. I wouldn't change me being alive in the 80's for anything. It's such a big part of my life.
Smiled from ear to ear when the theme Benson came on!!❤️❤️
One of my biggest favs was The Equalizer with the late great Edward Woodward...
Bear P Woodward was THE Equalizer
YEEEESSSSS!!!
Thursday nights Magnum PI Wiseguy and The Equalizer. Best night for television.
I had a lot of fun guessing the 80's TV Shows. It was a blast from the past.🤩 Wish I had heard "227," "Saved By The Bell (Good Morning, Miss Bliss)," "Fame," "Full House," "Amen," "Highway to Heaven," "Family Matters," and "Fraggle Rock."👀 But it was still nice to even hear this much.❤ Thank you so much for the memories.🤗
Yeah!!! A part 3 needs to be made. LOL!
@@mariolbanks 👍🏾👍🏾💯
I'm 47 and watched most of these shows and cant believe I couldn't remember the songs. Then again it was 35+ yrs ago lol
I'm 46 ..
I recall many of them, but my father worked lots of night shifts. I remember watching lots of these with Mom. We didn't watch lots of comedy shows though. Also, I wrote lots of tv shows to get autographed pics. I have one from Misfits of Science. Three songs became piano recital songs - Hill Street Blues, Mike Hammer and St.Elsewhere.... One classical song + one song you (Mom) picked...
Here in the UK we didn't get all of those shows so I didn't know some of them but ones I do remember that you might want to add in any future editions include... Street Hawk, Midnight Caller, Hill Street Blues, Quantum Leap and Doogie Howser M.D.
Great videos though, a real nostalgia trip :)
Thank you! Entirely way too much fun remembering once upon a time. I did better on Part 1, not the best on Part 2, but then I was working a lot then. You're wonderful to even do this. Thanks again.
This Part 2 was harder. I didn't watch the ones I didn't recognize. Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless were so gorgeous! And Moonlighting was a full-on phenomenon! Such happy and fond memories.
Moonlighting was so good. The bruce willis and cybill shepherd dynamic was the best.
I used to walk home for lunch in highschool. Matlock came on at noon. Listening to that music absolutely took me back to over-due homeworks, studying for tests - my god.
Must have been reruns, because Matlock was a prime time show on NBC.
These were great ones! I was waiting for Fame theme's song to come up somewhere in there! Also, someone commented about cartoon theme songs, and the 1st 2 that come to mind is The Smurfs and Inspector Gadget!
However, thanks for this! Took me back to those days!
Thanks for walk down memory lane! It was fun hearing these theme songs again!
Where's Scarecrow and Mrs King? Great 80s show.
Ditto Tour Of Duty
TV Shows don't have great theme songs anymore. What a great decade to be alive! The 80's is my heaven.
My Two Dads was way before it’s time..lol
If it was made today, the dads would probably be a gay couple.
I remember watching 21 Jump Street and falling in love with Johnny Depp, who knew he would go so far?
I lost count how many I got right or wrong. I was to busy enjoying hearing these, some I haven’t heard in years and years. Brings back great memories of watching a lot of these shows with my mother.
Do one for Saturday Morning Shows of the 70s through the 90s for guessing the theme songs of each decade such as:
70s: Scooby-Doo, The Superfriends, H.R. Pufnstuff, and Land of the Lost.
80s: The Smurfs, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, and Muppet Babies.
90s: Batman: The Animated Series, X-Men: The Animated Series, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and The Tick.
Brought back a time that will never be surpassed!!!!! .......Ever!!
A little trivia. Hunter, 21 Jump St and Hardcastle and McCormack all had themes composed by a certain Mike Post and Pete Carpenter. And The Greatest American Hero as well.
So much women empowerment in the 80s, as well as actual Family Shows, ah, the days 💙🧡
Hardcastle And McCormick. Another great tune from the Mike Post, Pete Carpenter and Stephen J Cannell back catalogue
Thank you for this 🙏 it's amazing how these songs can unlock a memory that has been hidden for years. Simple moments that came to life, long forgotten. I wish I could go back to a simpler time...
Would you believe it?
When I heard those words " it was murder ", (6:26) followed by that theme tune, wow, instant recognition and all the emotions of excitement that came with watching 'Hart to Hart'
Christ, even the dog bark flooded me with nostalgia. I just can't get over how much exciting TV there was when I was a kid. It's only now I'm really starting to appreciate it on a much deeper level and trying to find episodes of the old stuff; so much wholesome nostalgia.
Freeway the dog ..max and his cigar!
It was MUYDAH!
This just lets me know I watched wayyyyy too much TV as a kid. lol
at least it was quality tv 😁
I think we all did! 😂
I didn’t know that one of Billy Joel’s songs was used as a theme song for a tv show!
Yep
Oh my goodness we had the BEST shows in the 80s!
I thank you again for posting this! We watched most, not all, of these shows back in the day, but I remember all of them. It's fun trying to guess!
Out of all these shows, I watched Moonlighting the most.
Ah, finally... Airwolf and Simon&Simon... I LOVED those as a kid! And I still remembered a bunch of shows my grandma loved to watch, like Matlock or Hart to Hart... Still miss The Young Riders though, so if you're ever doing Part 3... ;o)
OMG, Young Riders was FANTASTIC!
The human brain amazes me...I recognized the Matlock theme song even though I’ve never seen an episode. Was born in 1981. 🤯
Wow! You sure took me to my past. Haven't heard some of these Theme Songs in years! Thanks. :)
Sorry, I couldn’t help laughing when I saw the cast photo for Benson, which featured two future Star Trek stars (Rene Auberjonois from DS9 and Ethan Phillips from Voyager), and then immediately heard the theme for TNG.
And Spenser for Hire, with Avery Brooks in the background!
This brings me to my happy space even in 2020😁😁
It was fun reliving my childhood memories. Thanks for sharing this!
This was wonderful! What a fantastic throwback for me. Please please please keep making these!
We were watching all these right here in Zimbabwe Africa ( a few series behind perhaps) but man these were the best times of our lives even though bedtime was 8pm
I was very busy throughout the 80’s being in the military and working evening and night shifts. Funny I could name every Intro song from the 60’s and 70’s but almost none of the 80’s. LOL !!
The bass in Alf is amazing.
Thanks guys...took me outta dark depression...
🥺 How are you doing now?
@@dsmusicbird better....time is the ointment of healing,... I guess?
That was fun! Thanks for compiling this! I didn’t realize there were so many cheesy synth themes!
Great one, I didn't realize how many shows there were in the 80s. And I did know more of this list than of the first one. (And am still missing a few, like Mischiefs of Science, Secret Identity or Hogans Heroes.)
Staci Keenan, Nicole Eggert, Traci Gold, Justine Bateman, Josie Davis, Lydia Cornell, Danika McKeller, etc, etc. The 80s were great. What a time to be a teenage boy!
What a trip down memory lane!...I recognized most of the songs, but I could not match some of them with the shows. Great video
My heart just aches when I hear these themes.This is the life of my childhood.Wonderful years of my life.How things are much different now.I would rather be back there.I miss them so much!😑
Wow, the memories. Thanks for doing this. Loved it.
"Little House on the Prairie", how many times did you watch those girls tumble down the hill when Pa shows up?and Wonder Woman...
Little house is a icon of that time
70s though, not 80s.... well just watched part 1 and it looks like they did some 70s shows that made it to the 80s so why not Little House, too.
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 yea some started in the 70's but ran into the 80's
WW was strictly 70s
I love Little House. Carrie’s actress could have used a bit of helping out in a few episodes, but great show
Thank you for the stroll down memory lane! Both parts were great!!
Can't believe I watched all these tv shows in 80's. In fact there are a lot more. It brings back my sweet memories.
That was an awesome blast from the past!! Thank you! My sister is going to love this!!
I sent it mine too😍
I had to go to bed before "thirtysomething" came on and I never watched "Webster", so I missed those.
I was disappointed that "Scarecrow and Mrs.King" was not on here. I loved that show and theme song!
Me too, fortunately its a favourite for (skilled) brass bands so it still gets played occasionally.
Thanks for this blast from the past! 80s shows you missed in both videos (although I don't blame you, some were only one season): Voyagers!, Cover Up, Chips, Otherworld.
Another awesome video!
I will admit, I feel guilty that I did not remember many of the theme songs of shows I used to watch.
It's just that I haven't watched them in so long!
Thank you so much for making the video.
I'm surprised that I remember even one of these theme songs considering how stoned I was during the 80's.
😂😂
So many memories! Thanks for posting!
Loved it!! 60s were my early yrs, I got maybe 2 right…. but cool to see some shows I really enjoyed in the crazy 8s, peace, love harmony and shower daily. Thank you ALL!
"This was great"!!!.... In one moment, I relived all the TV shows of the 80's that I watched when I was a kid myself..... Thank you for making this videos.
