Guess The 80s TV Show Theme Song!

- 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
Hello everyone,
I just want to say that I know I made a mistake about the last show, Newhart. I now know (after many, many comments) that I put in the incorrect show’s cast picture. Please forgive me about the error. Since this video is, well, uploaded, I cannot change the picture. I do, however, appreciate all of the constructive criticism I’ve been getting because it will allow me to make better and more accurate videos in the future! :) Also I know that some of the TV shows I put into the video could be considered 70s shows. My way of thinking for where to put what TV show is what decade has the majority. For example, if a TV show first aired in 1978 and ended in 1983, then I would put that show into the 80s version, and not the 70s version. Like I said before, I do understand why people would think it’s a 70s show, considering it started in the 70s. But in my opinion, I would put the show into the decade with the majority. If a TV show first aired in 1978 and ended in 1981, then I would decide wear to put it based on which decade the TV show would be best associated with, however sometimes I’m wrong with my placements. As always, if I do have any wrong information about a show or topic, then feel free to inform me in the comments section. :)
Song Trivia The Newhart cast picture isn’t wrong. Psychologist Bob Hartley of The Bob Newhart Show dreamed he was a innkeeper in Vermont and his name was Dick Louden. At the end of that 8 year long and very strange dream, he woke up in bed with his wife Emily back in Chicago. The cast of Newhart was only a figment of his imagination. ua-cam.com/video/ZgdUWXf8jJk/v-deo.html
And you forgot Moon Lighting Lol
@@radozier3000 also shows like hunter too
this video made me super happy, thank you for being a friend😁😁😁
That's okay. We can blame it on Larry, Daryl, and Daryl. ;)
Is it just me, or does this make anyone else feel happy and sad at the same time? Brings back so many memories and missing those days, but glad that I got to grow up then.
Nostalgic
Happy for the memories, yet sad they are gone. Totally normal.
Yeah. Does both. Nostalgic and sadness when one looks into the mirror and realizes they aren’t pre-teen/teen anymore. We’ve hit the big 5-0…..
Wtf.. I cried.
sad since many are dead like Kirsty Alley.
Ha, hear these and instantly feel like I need to finish my homework.
Ain't that the truth,,lol,,awesome,,I only missed 2,,
I was thinking the same thing
Absolutely
By the time taxi was on my mom told me to go to sleep which was usually on the couch peaking it and watching it probably was around 5
Right?!? Hahaha
I'm so thankful to be an 80s kid. These shows were the center of our social lives. So many memories flood my mind when I heard these songs.
Agree bro.
Same. I miss those days so much!
It's funny, I was in college from 1991-1994 and the rule for watching the TV in the graduate men's dorm was news, sports . . . and "The Cosby Show." Can you guess what the majority of the students looked like?
@@robadams5799 Don’t need to bro. That show was universal. And i grew up in NE Kansas.
Im an Aussie 80s Kid.... we had the best shows and cartoons...............
I watched about 90% of these shows and all the episodes growing up.... how crazy is that ?........
It’s amazing how listening to these theme songs you tear up reminiscing!! You can see your loved ones who passed on, landline phone with the long cord, antenna on top of the tv and the house you were raised in that looked so big but now you realize how small it was..I miss my grandparents so much..😢
Same here😢
yesssss
im an Aussie 80s Kid.... I miss the 80s soo much..................
Its funny.... I do not miss the 90s or 2000s.... but I want to go back to the 80s...........
Facts
It was a great time to be alive. Especially as a kid
Initially I was sad because knowing all these shows made me think I was old.
But then I realized,
What privilege to have grown up during the time and the shows!
Absolutely
Yesss!
Why be sad, Most if not all of these shows are 100% better then anything on television today.
@@gregmulqueen8171 plus we can watch them over and over again now
I only like Perfect Strangers & Growing Pains. All the shows here have 0 continuity for storylines.
Kids today have no idea how excited we got when these songs played! No DVR, no rewind, no smartphones or iPads or social media, we just watched and enjoyed the show! The best of times
@@MarcoORVISINI lol
Marco1985 ORVISINI STFU AND LET US ENJOY
And we watched the shows ON TV with *gasp* our FAMILIES! Not on our phones!
@@denisethetford9178 you don’t have to be rude
I just wanna say...you know...can we -- can we all get along?
Oh sorry that was the 90s
The theme songs for Dynasty, Dallas, Falcon Crest & Knots Landing will always mean “it’s past my bed time” to me.
Those were the 3 I got wrong.
Same, OMG. I got almost all of them right except the ones that were past my bedtime. 😂
I remember back in "those" days the channels would actually go off air. As if to say, "time to go to bed." :)
That was Golden Girls for me. I still know the song though, mom might have made me go to bed but she didn't make me sleep! I stayed up and listened to it. :D
For me, that’s “Benny Hill” - if my dad and step-mom were watching that, and I was still up, I could expect to hear them say “what are you still doing up?!” with an articulated interrobang.
As a 44 year old woman, I am truly in my feelings 😔. So many great memories. 🙏🏽
I feel you! I’m 47 and this put so much joy in my heart..take me back to the 80’s
Yes ma’am
I hope you are doing well gen x!
im a 47 Australian!
We had the best shows and cartoons as 80s Kids.......................
@@tomarobinson1486 as a Aussie kid, I remember missing school in the morning because Australia was winning the Americas Cup race in 1983... it was such a great deal over here at the time, I think many kids missed school on that day
You'll never understand how desperately these shows were needed in my home. This was some of the only relief from an abusive alcoholic mother. Even now at 40 this is therapeutic
It's sad we don't have quality entertainment now. But I'm glad you did!
@@ilovethe1950s We have plenty of good quality entertainment. You just have to look for it.
I understand, I mean that 👊🏾
Sorry to hear about your abusive mother. Alcohol is a nasty drug.
@@vahi37 compared to how it used to be...no way. Nothing we have today on tv can compete with 80s and 90s tv entertainment
I want the 80's back!!!
Such a simpler time of my life🤩😍
Same.
Same here
Stop using the internet. That's basically the 80s.
@@ryanb55 Exactly!! We listened to records and cassette tapes. THAT was our internet. Hell many people didn't even own a VCR yet.
A lot of young people want to go back to the 80’s they like the style of clothing and hair styles
Does everyone else get a different emotion depending on what theme was playing? Truly an amazing time for me as a kid growing up in the 80s and watching these shows.
its funny, because for some of us the show theme songs means it was bed time lol...
I use to like the action shows the best, so like Knight Rider, A-Team, Mac Gyver so on always brings back memories
Even Star Trek.... there was one where there was a hand in space reaching out to the Enterprise, and I hid behind the lounge chair because it was scary lol.... I remember it like yesterday....
Hearing these makes me want to cry because I miss the 80's so much. I wish I could go back.. Things were better and simpler. I wish our kids today could experience the life we had growing up in the 80's. Everything was better!
Agreed. That is exactly what I was thinking. Kids today have so much garbage thrown at them. Life was much simpler back then.
Except inflation.
I have the same response. I want to go back
Where did you grow up?
Not under Soviet influence, it wasnt
Dear God. As I sleep tonight when I wake in the morning, let me be back in the 80s
I wake up every morning disappointed that I'm not back in the 80's.
Calgon take me back! But knowing what I know now.
Yes
Sounds like you need a hot tub time machine.
I wouldn't mind going back to 77 so I could change a couple of things
Literally the best time to grow up…the garbage tv today is a reflection of how good we had it, and we didn’t even know it. People today don’t understand having to be in front of the tv at a certain time or you missed the show and running for food at the commercials…damn
I'm balling😭want to go back so bad, I miss the 80s. Things made more sense then.
I love how every show back then had to have a group publicity shot like it was out of a yearbook.
That's because they had such big ensemble castz back then! Even the sitcoms! Wonderful hearing them again..
🤣 the drama club kids.
Knight Rider still is a one badass intro! And some of these remind me watching TV in the 80’s when half my family was alive. RIP mom and dad.
I don't think I watched this, but yeah-- the tune is awesome! Also realized how good The Cosby Show's i tro is, too
Stingray is my favourite badass intro. Followes by Airwolf. And from the level of awesome coolness I simply can't decide between Miami Vice and Magnum P.I.
ua-cam.com/video/pgh8-lia6l0/v-deo.html
It is so lovingly 80s
How about this intro? Bad ass? ua-cam.com/video/5vTbqqt8EHc/v-deo.html
I agree I always loved KITT in Knight Rider :)
I miss those Friday and Saturday nights when my family and I would all sit in front of the TV and watch these classics.
I sometimes get nostalgic for the Saturday morning garbage we used to watch. Zigmund and the Sea Monsters comes to mind. A couple of years ago, Netflix had Star Trek the animated series so I bought some Cap't Cruch Peanut Butter cereal and I would put that on on a Saturday morning and watch that while eating my captain crunch. Took me right back to 1973 for a good 22 minutes!!! Now if I could just stay there.
And I loved that the shows actually had theme songs/music...I can't think of any shows nowadays that have theme songs...they just come on! :)
What a great time for TV. I nailed all the sitcoms, but the night time soap operas and dramas were never my thing.
Agree there. Wasn't into the soapy ones myself either ..
I kept missing the cop and law shows, knew all the sitcoms.
The simplicity of life back then😇...I almost wanna cry right now ....there was no internet or cellphones....just quality time with your family around the TV enjoying life .....we will NEVER get those times back😢😢😢😢😢😢
I hated my dad controlling the TV lol....
I know. Its beyond sad. I hate how the world is today.
@@GrandTime-17 better than ever dude... Look at the stars... One simp le example...Poor people die of obesity in the United States.... Not starvation.
Yet here you are complaining about it ON the internet!
I'm very thankful to have been apart of this era , like you very good memories even if they weren't all good , I miss being young for sure , I find what is hard being older is watching all these actors and actresses passing away ,people we grew up with and idolize , just leaving us ,it's like a family member passing each time or hearing something horrific happened to them , that's hard to accept , but still enjoy the memories with the help of the music and what the writers and actors and actresses gave us all those years
I pity the fool who didn't lived in the 80's
Yes, i somehow got the feeling, that shows after the 90s got more and more soulless and less wholesome. When i look into our german free TV now, i get the feeling, that the producers don't want intelligent audience. They want to sell cheap products with scandals and aren't interested anymore in making good TV. :/
“Didn’t lived”?
@@JunkyardKid I pity the fool who didn't payed attenshun in scool
Um sorry ?
Why on Earth is someone, who didn't live in the 80s, a fool?!
It's not as if someone can influence his or her date of birth. (and yeah: grammar is a bitch)
Man, I'm 42 and I am getting so emotional hearing these Tv tunes, that's crazy. I guess because father has passed on at 64 it reminds me of the times he was there,😭 No, one can touch these classics and not forgotten! THE 80'S 👏🏽💪🏾
Sorry you lost your dad. I’m lucky to have mine but time is near. Heartbreaking 💔
I thank God I grew up during the 80's!! We had great times - full of great people & great music!! These shows bring back many precious memories!!👏🏾👏🏾🥰🥰
I couldn’t of said that any better
Born in 1975, the 80s was such an interesting decade where I went from a small child to a teenager. These songs hold so much memorial value. Each one took me back to a different weeknight, hanging out with my mom (RIP) and not realizing I was living the best years of my life. Thank you so much for posting this. It was delightfully painful to get through.
I was born in 1971 but for some reason I do better at these things when run the ones from the '60's than the '70's or '80's. Maybe because if it was made in the '60's I've been watching it longer, I don't know.
I turned 53 yesterday and I watched most of these. Literally the best time to grow up.
We sound so old But u r right!!! Best time to grow up!!
Soooo sexy
You got it, Rob. Great memories for sure.
@@danielstamp3301 great memories too so many good times so much satisfaction
The best if time
In my opinion the 80s was the best decade for movies, music, and television. Things were simpler and much better. You actually had to have talent to be a celebrity in those days.
Exactly!... even as a Aussie 80s Kid, we had the best shows, cartoons... and yeah, things were soo much simpler and were better days for sure........
When I was 5 years old, I was doing errands around town for my mother... I walked to school on my own about 1-2kms away... kids cant do that these days.................
Amen! Couldn’t agree more! Especially Dallas my personal favorite show. Larry Hagmen was the best
The current landscape of the entertainment industry lacks the uniqueness and exceptional abilities that were once associated with celebrities. Nowadays, it seems like they do not put in the same amount of effort or showcase genuine talent. Furthermore, the rise of UA-camrs without any real talent has further diluted the essence of true skill and ability.
Amen... the music, the shows. It was a great time that I will always remember with a smile.
All due respect that would be the the 70s sir. I say that as someone barely alive during the 70s and grew up in the 80s and 90s. 1970s soul music alone trumps all.
I know I'm not the only one singing along with all the songs. Miss the 80s. Watching the Golden Girls right now. If "Married....With Children" were on today, people's heads would explode.
"Awww Peg?!?!?!"
What about All in the Family? I know that show came out a decade earlier, but people were not such wimps like they are now.
@@candicelitrenta8890 Technially that show did not survive into the 80s. After Jean left the show (and Edith died) they did a spin-off called Archie's Place. But All in the Family ended in 1979. Great show.
"Every dollar I make, I keep about a nickel, Peg."
Peggy: "Pay up."
I think they should start reruns of these classics.
People need to be slapped back into some good sense
Jeez, you guys are really hitting hard with the nostalgia here. Weird that the ones I thought I would know I am missing, and the ones I thought I would miss, I am guessing. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had quite a bit of emotions hearing all of these songs. It's like I've gone into a time machine.
So happy I grew up in the 80's. No internet and no social media. I miss those days and wish my kids could have grown up in that era
Agreed
It's nice knowing you grew up in a time where every stupid thing you did will be lost to the mists of time and not permanently recorded and posted for all to see.
God, how I loved growing up in the 80's....Almost brings a tear to my eye...😥. Nostalgia.....
I bet you were filled with worry and youthful angst.
80's was the best
AWESOME.
Yes🤗
we got to live them days no body but us...they talk about the 80s 500 years from now ..there will be people read these messages all of ours
Instantly transported back to the best decade ever.
That would be the '70s.
I could literally feel and see my self watching these shows. It brought me back with happy tears. I could feel the outside breeze and the smell of house and nature now when each of these songs came on. Hard to explain but I just felt the moment. Wish I could go back!! 80 where the best decade.
completely the same for me too!!
I agree with ya Sarah. don't know what you have until there gone.
wow yesss
Just when you just want to curl up and cry about your lost youth... The A-Team theme song comes on and makes it all better!
"I love it when a plan comes together."
And then to follow that up with Magnum, P.I. is simply icing on the cake.
Lmao good one
For me it was the Cosby Show. Very groovy song!
To this day I can recite the speech that opens the A-Team theme song (narrated by Lyle Waggoner) word for word. You should see people's faces when I do it...
When the majority of these played I didn’t want them to end so quickly. God nostalgia is a powerful thing.
Yes had me all in my feelings 😭
Not just nostalgia for me but also wanting to go back to the 80s.
I’m right there with you. I didn’t even have a great childhood, but damn it was so much more fun growing up than being grown up.
yes it is christopher
I took me back to my child hood. Thought my grandparents that are passed away. I miss the 80’s
Wow. I was born in 1986. I remember the re-runs from the 90's. At 35 years old I can even feel the warm feelings in my heart of such a happy time and life being simpler than now. It doesn't even compare or come close. I wish I could go back in time. I really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Same! Thank God for syndication!
I want the 80s back
Just needed Moonlighting and The Greatest American Hero! This was incredibly moving to hear, thank you, thank you, thank you!
The Greatest American Hero😂💜💜💜💜
Mr. Bevaldere.....Head of the Class.....Small Wonder.....Who's the Boss.
Family... Soap... Benson...
what happened to airwolf or street hawk. metal mickey simon and simon. mash but not sure some are even 80's and not other decades
and yes a number of them listed below.
The only problem with some is we did not get them in the UK.
@@davidsworld5837 AirWolf is definitely in the 80's. I had asked the same thing. At least I have all the episodes on DVD. It was a bit far fetched but I liked it none the less .
Alot of emotions hearing these. I feel like a 100 years old at 45. Most of my family is gone that I watched these with.
☹️ Mine too
😥 I'm sorry
Well, we're here together. Enjoying this! 💖
In the same boat here!!
❤ at 39, I remember only a small portion of these, I'm only just starting to loose my relatives.
not easy being lonely 😥
The '80's, when theme songs were still a thing.
Theme songs are still a thing
You gotta take your meds, grandpa
Yeah I don't understand why they got rid of theme songs after the 90s, they're so great!
@@ggsnaps every show has a theme song lmao
@@culturalaaliyah917 no, actually they don't.
I’m sitting here happy and singing these songs word for word. I feel privileged to have been brought up in the 80s!
Most of them had no words...lol
@@MrViking842000 well for the ones that do- I remembered them lmao
They had the 70's Bob Newhart cast photo. The Newhart 80's cast featured his co stars Mary Frann, Peter Scholari , Tom Postman. I know I forgotten I some cast members, but those are the ones I remember off hand name wise.
From Spain... it's incredible how American TV shows marked our childhoods, after dinner we seated around the TV and enjoyed these entertainment series.
Whew...so nostalgic...had tears running down my face and didn’t know it. Music has such a way of evoking memories. 🎶❤️
I say that Everytime. Put you right back in that point of time. That's The only way I know how to live. I gotta stay back there. Keeps my sanity. I watch all old movies and shows and I listen to all the old songs. A world when no matter what was going on, you had music movies and those sitcoms🧘🏾🙏💕🥴
I feel exactly the same way
My little brother love Dukes of Hazzard and knight rider. He had to have been about five at the time. And he is 43 years old now. Wow!
Geht mir genauso. Hatte feuchte Augen...😥😢🤧🤧🤧
Music is the closest thing we'll ever have to a time machine.
Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team, MacGyver and Knight Rider I literally took less than a second to recognise, they stand out so distinctly, some others only a second or two more. Dynasty and Dallas were so iconic, I recognised them immediately without ever having seen an episode. Really nice memories.
"Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team, MacGyver and Knight Rider I literally took less than a second to recognise" Same here, plus Cheers and Magnum Pi, Taxi, married with Children and Love boat (I watched too much TV as a kid). Oh and I hope you didn't pause on Duke of Hazzard to check out Daisy one last time! :)
Knight Rider, The A Team, MacGyver, The Dukes of Hazzard, Magnum P.I etc were real good tv shows
So many amazing wholesome shows back then that I looked forward to watching as a kid. Nothing even comes close to the garbage on TV today 🙄
It’s all dumba$$ “reality” tv now
@Glow Healthy You hit the nail on the head with the word WHOLESOME those days are gone.
Seriously go watch an episode of South Park and dear lord it's just pure filth and garbage being poured out
Wow...I remember my folks said the same thing back then! RIP mom and dad
This video is nostalgic all over the place, but in retrospect a whole load of these shows were …not good.
And there are so many good recent shows…though maybe mostly cartoons. Don't get caught in the nostalgia trap of thinking everything was great.
the 80s were the "best" decade in many ways! The TV series were the best, and the music even more! ;-)
But the best thing about the 80s is and remains that the internet didn't exist before
you are 1,000% correct in everything you said here. One good thing about the internet is that we can see and hear those shows anytime we want now and reminisce..... ahhhhhhh! :-)
What is with you Luddites and your anti-internet meme? The Internet has vastly improved our lives in so many ways. I couldn't do without it. And I doubt you could either.
@@keythdanielsen9315 Without a doubt. I think the sentiment may be more along the lines of "internet social media didn't exist."
90's but the 80's a close second.
This brought back so many memories...only ones missing was Heat of The Night, 227, Whose The Boss, and Amen....Good Job 👍🏾
What an amazing trip down memory lane! Back when tv was worth watching and comedy wasn’t canceled 😂
Wonder Years was so underrated show. one of the best shows of the 80’s
That's true. The mom was cool, but the dad was a fucking dick!
They have a reboot of it on the air right now, check in when it comes on in your area
There should be a 'wonder years' set in the 80s!

Quarantine got me wishing i was back in the 80s
Tell me about it! Me too!
Me too
Yup!!
Me too.😢
Same
Very thankful to have grown up in the 80's and the memories these bring back. Instantly took me back to my childhood hearing these songs from these shows. Imagine, this next generation will remember looking at their Iphone and social media all day long as their childhood memories
Who can say, in this day and age, that you know all the theme songs from todays shows like we know these. What a great time to have been around
My brother and I had a 9pm bedtime, except on Thursdays when it was a few minutes later just so we could listen to the Cheers theme!
So sexual yet so natural
I feel bad for the kids now who won’t have anything to reminisce back on. Man I miss the good ole days.
There’s always something to be appreciative for. But yeah I miss the old days too.
Very true social media’s platform have mess these kids memories up real bad an destroy interaction an society up real bad I hate social media’s platforms with a passion
This was a great reminder of how creative the 80s was, and how crappy most things are today
It was the last “good” decade - if there is such a thing.
At 50...I still wanna just go back and be Magnum, Crockett and Colt Seavers...of course most kids would've traded to be Rick Schroder too. The stardom level of some of these star characters was off the charts...hope they appreciated it!
I'm in my feelings, right now. ...what a great time to grow up in front of the TV. Thee best orchestrations EVER!
My dad loved Magnum P.I. so that takes me back to my childhood
And how good is the Miami Vice theme
Man I guessed every last one. I lived my life through these shows. If I just had to learn from my FAMILY 🙂 I would have NEVER made it. EVERYONE on these shows helped raise me🧘🏾🙏💕
I was going to point out the wrong photo for Newhart but others have already got there. A great presentation, thank you. I was disappointed that you didn't show Mary Tyler Moore show titled " Mary ".
It only managed one series but I loved the theme tune on it. I think Mary was trying to gain the popularity of her original show.
and the wrong theme song..The theme song was from Newhart..
I feel like little house on the prairie coulda made this list, and saved by the bell. thanks for compiling this list and bringing us down memory lane!
Listening to these classic TV themes makes me miss a lot of my childhood in the 80s. Great shows I can still watch online.
Ah, the wonder years brings tears to my eyes.
SAME
Yes sir 😭
Mork also
Great list and a fun listen. Miss those great shows and theme songs. Missing two of my all time favorites: Moonlighting and Night Court.
_Night Court_ is back on with Dan Feelding and Bernadette.
“Married… With Children” absolutely changed television for the better like no other show in the 1980’s.
It's amazing how these songs can instantly bring back nostalgia from 30 plus years ago. Good job on the video brother
Hearing the theme song to Taxi gave me a very strange, somehow empty, anxious feeling. I was only about 4 years old when I remember it coming on the TV late at night. Probably one of my earliest TV memories along with Benson and Mork and Mindy.
Mork and Mindy really got to me 😢😭
Same with taxi
Mork & Mindy! 👽🙎🏻♀️
Same. Every time I hear the taxi theme song it reminds me of when I was an only child and my parents were living in these brick apartments. Before the bought their house. I still drive by those apartments every time I go to my home town they look awful now. 😭
Bless your sweet heart 🙏♥️
Listening to these theme songs just takes me back to so many different parts and scenes in my early years. I had my mom, I was young, happy, had friends to play with, school was cool and I was happy to come home after school to watch these awesome 80 shows. I feel so sad and happy at the same time. These shows help keep me sane in a way
I miss the 80's... when they were so beautiful as a little boy with a very strong memory...
I'm a 90's kid, but re-runs are very much a part of my childhood and I remember a lot of these!
These shows were so amazing! It makes me realize the privilege of growing up in the 80s. I wish I could go back and relive it all over again!!!
as an 86er I can still remember the privilege of second hand smoking
Yeah the 80s were great. After school I would jump on my dragster bike and race home to watch the A team and dukes of hazard.
💯
My mother died of Cancer in 96 at the Age of 37. Some of my Best Memories is staying up with her late at Night to Watch Reruns of 50s-80s shows. Still means alot to me, Very Grateful 🙏 to all these amazing Intros and Classic Shows
These songs brought back so many memories from my youth. Too bad they don’t make shows like these anymore. I think I only missed a few.
I grew up in the mid 90s early 2000s and all these shows still came on lol thank god for nick at nite when they played the old shows not just friends
Just realize i watch too much TV in the 80s:
I just realized what you where saying lol!
Same! Some of these shows came on late at night and I was like 5 but I remember a lot of these songs. I was up watching TV when I was supposed to be sleep!
I like your picture your a good looking woman
You look kind of young for the 80's no offense
NAH THATS ALL WE HAD BACK IN THE DAY..LOL NO INTERNET SO WE ALL HAVE A COMMON GROUND. YALL WITH ME ON THIS. I HATE THAT MY KIDS WILL NEVER KNOW THE FEELING OF THESE THEME SONGS. IT JUST TAKES YOU BACK HOME
I wish that they still made shows like these🙂👍
It's like a big warm hug hearing most of these.
Man... my allergies are acting up and there is a lot of dust in the air. Way too sentimental for me right now.
This was a great nostalgia trip. It’s amazing as you are listening to these, the memories and the emotions flow. And these songs are not only catchy but great pieces of music too
Right! The composition of these things!
No ALF, Airwolf, Night Court, Mama's Family or Small Wonder but you managed Falcon Crest, Knots Landing and Dallas? We certainly watched different 80's TV.
This just reminds me of a simpler time when we could be carefree. I miss hearing the theme show of your favorite show letting you know you only had a minute to get situated and ready for the show.
The best part is singing along with most of them... Surprisingly remembering the words! ! Great stuff..
Exactly this sitcom was amazing never missed an episode.. AWESOME...GOD BLESS YOU
Husband and I had fun playing "Who can guess it first!" (I won!)
Sounds like your husband is gay
Great list! Thank you for the fun game down memory lane. You did however leave out my all time favorite theme song from Simon & Simon. Guess you might be saving the best for part 2. Thanks again :)
I remember watching Falcon Crest in Spain back in the eighties, then when I visit San Francisco in 2019 I searched the internet, discovered it is a vineyard today in the Napa Valley and we rent a car, booked a wine taste in the same house, in the same living room Angela Channing ruled the Tuscany Valley. It was quite surreal.
Amazing 👏
The Golden Age of broadcast television was the 50s-90s from Honeymooners to Seinfeld. Cable and reality shows wrecked it in the 2000s.
Exactly, it seems like those older shows not only entertained, but also gave a lesson about life within each episode, something which today’s shows rarely do
Actually it was the writers strike that brought upon reality tv. Networks then realized it was cheaper to go unscripted, no writers or actors to pay, cheaper to produce and they could charge just as much for ad time.
But the 2000s has had some high quality shows with top rated stars. It brought Mad Men, Sopranos, Downton Abbey etc. It's just these shows weren't on CBS, ABC and NBC. You had to have HBO, Showtime etc
Reality tv is awful
Best TV shows from that time frame (in no particular order):
1. I Love Lucy
2. The Dick Van Dyke Show
3. Three's Company
4. Growing Pains
5. Family Ties
6. Who's the Boss?
7. Charles in Charge
8. Full House
9. Beverly Hills 90210
10. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
You know a theme song is amazing when you still remember the song word from word! #classicTV
I know. I kept singing the theme song to Married with Children after it stopped and my wife was giving me the side-eye look.
DFSdiva Happens. Thanks
Uhm, that would be "word FOR word", not from
Yup!!
I am delighted to recall the timeless classic TV shows and themes from the 80s. It was truly a golden era, characterized by straightforward and comprehensible content. Everyone focused on their own affairs, and the overall atmosphere was far less chaotic than what we experience in the present day, where people often seek attention.
What a trip down memory lane, to a time with far less to worry about.
Two of the main reasons there was far less to worry about was because social media and the internet didn’t exist.
Thank you for posting. This took my back to a much more simpler and less stressful time.
THESE SONGS ARE THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY EARLY CHILDHOOD.❤️❤️
You are so right
I miss the 80's!! The best decade!!
Amen
Best shows in the 80's and the best music in the 90's :)
20’s was much better
Thanks for uploading this video. It brought back so many good memories. I was so excited hearing the tunes from my favourite shows. Some I knew from the first note others sparked recognition of the song but not the show. Thanks again for this super fun walk down memory lane. I loved the 80’s. They were some of the best times in my life. 💜💜
I was 12-22 during the 80’s… This really took me back! We were privileged to be teenagers during the 80’s… Today’s kids will never understand.
God, this is amazing!! Thank you for putting it together! My middle school and high school years have come flooding back to me! These shows have many beautiful memories attached with family and friends. A much simpler time back then. I miss them greatly. Did anyone else learn the Hill Street Blues theme song on the piano like I did? I BEGGED my teacher to take a break from the classical stuff, so that I could learn it! Ha!
So funny. I learned to play the Hill Street Blues song on the piano too. LOL
I tried to learn it but I gave up. ☹
I miss the 80s. One show you forgot was Three's Conpany.
Thanks for bringing me back to my childhood days!!
No. Three's Company was actually started in 1977..... :)

It came out in 70s
Like others mentioned Threes company started in the 70s but one of the best for any decade.
I was on a role until the more soapish dramas.
I knew them all except Perfect Strangers, Knot's Landing, L.A. Law, and MacGyver. Can't believe I didn't know MacGyver, as many times I watched that show as a little kid. Incidentally, the cast picture you showed with the Newhart theme song is not from Newhart... It's from his earlier sitcom The Bob Newhart Show.
Man, I was stumped on a few of these. All were super popular, but my family didn’t watch them all, so there were a few that I didn’t get.
I do recall whenever I heard the Hill Street Blues theme that meant that I had one hour until bedtime. It came on at 9:00 on my time zone and my bedtime was 10:00.
I love "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" from Perfect Strangers, one of my all-time favorite theme songs.
Sometimes I sing that in the shower
Jeff Skidmore hell’s yeah!!!!!
Same here! 😍😍😍
Sung by the great David Pomeranz!
Who didnt love Cousin Balki in the 80's...
The 80s...when the Movies, Music, Cartoons and TV Shows were at the height of human civilization...how I miss thee
You are so right
I sometimes get nostalgic for the Saturday morning garbage we used to watch. Zigmund and the Sea Monsters comes to mind. A couple of years ago, Netflix had Star Trek the animated series so I bought some Cap't Cruch Peanut Butter cereal and I would put that on on a Saturday morning and watch that while eating my captain crunch. Took me right back to 1973 for a good 22 minutes!!! Now if I could just stay there.
