Favorite TV Theme Song

Posted: 11/5/04 at 2:52pm

Seeing the Facts of Life Thread made me remember my love of TV Theme Songs. My fav is a tie between "Without Us" from Family Ties and yes, The Facts of Life.

Yours?

Lady Godiva was a freedom rider
She didnt' care if the whole world looked.
Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her
She was a sister who really cooked.

Isadora was the first bra burner
And you're glad she showed up. (Oh yeah)
And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up.

And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's


That old compromisin', enterprisin', anything but tranquilizing,
Right on Maude.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

The Three's Company theme song popped into my head as soon as I spotted the thread. It's not the fav- the FoL has the best theme song. Kickin'.

I like the theme to Picket Fences and Quantum Leap.

I agree with Craig on Quantum Leap and with everyone who said Friends. I also really enjoy the West Wing theme song, even though it doesn't have words.

I almost forgot....It's a Living! Great theme song that sounds like it was lifted right out of a Broadway musical comedy. Sounds like something by Hamlisch or Coleman.

The Nanny and The Golden Girls are my favorites. In fact, I still watch those shows today. I also like the theme from Hill St. Blues.
