MaximumRD 3,285 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 It is funny though I do not watch many of my favorite TV shows I grew up with how hearing one of those opening intro themes one is instantly taken back! . A few immediately come to mind, my god within the first note or two I would instantly turn my head towards the TV 😆 MASH Not often heard but WITH LYRICS ! 😮👍 All in the Family Frasier Cheers PLEASE POST YOUR FAVORITES !

StormSurge 2,562 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Here's a link to my fantasy football league. You'll notice the teams are all named after 1980s TV shows. Click on a team logo to hear the theme song. (This is much easier than listing a bunch for you guys. 😀) VHF Dynasty Football League MaximumRD and RickR 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Control Issues 276 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 The Greatest American Hero... I still remember the episode shown in the intro where he just appears in the car. See, if you haven't seen it, the lead character is a history teacher who is given a super suit by aliens. But he loses the instructions, so he never knows exactly how it works. One of the running gags was that he figured out how to fly, but not how to land. So every landing was a crash landing. Anyway, in that episode, he discovered that he could become invisible with the suit, but he didn't know how to turn it on or off. So the whole episode has him randomly popping in and out. With, of course, him trying to sneak around while invisible and hoping he doesn't suddenly become visible... RickR, socrates63, StormSurge and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DegasElite 1,108 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I like the full theme to "Taxi." It is called "Angela," by Bob James. The full version sounds better than the TV theme to me. It is much jazzier, too. RickR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atari 5200 Guy 4,247 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 My Atari 5200 and Knight Rider. We got three channels if we were lucky and NBC always came in decent even in bad weather. I never missed an episode unless we were out of town. As soon as that theme started I was at the TV with the rest of the world tuned out. MaximumRD 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
