All In The Family. I won't link the song to make you go through the hell of those vocals.

The theme from "Soap" sounds like some sort of video game.

Wow. Thank you. I've always hated this one and thought it was out of character for the franchise. I liked the show, though.

Complete with former Power Puff Girl VO actor EG Daily singing the part of the kid.

She played Phoebe's singing partner in Friends - the one who sells her out to cash in Smelly Cat as a kitty litter commercial jingle.

Bonus: She gets topless in the original Valley Girl movie.

wtf

I enjoy the vocals, and lyrically it's one of the best theme songs ever.

Here are the lyrics that weren't used on TV:

People seemed to be content.
Fifty dollars paid the rent.
Freaks were in a circus tent.
Those were the days

Take a little Sunday spin,
Go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day
That cost you under a fin.

Hair was short and skirts were long.
Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong
Those were the days

I’m pretty sure the theme from greatest American hero was a billboard top 10 hit in 1981.

Fresh off the boat wins the worst theme song ever by a mile.

Eta: looked it up. Peaked at #2

The posters that said King of Queens and Justified are correct

Yeah nothing worse than a crazy cliff hanger or emotional end to a justified episode being capped off with

“ON THIS LONLEY ROAD...TRYNA MAKE IT HOME”



They should’ve just gone with that “you’ll never leave Harlen alive” song they used in the season finales

Holy shite, this board continues to amaze me.
With nominations like these, might as well add Inspector Gadget and S-W-A-T to the list.

I actually love All In The Family intro. I love Archie & Edith at the piano and I love the flyover scenes of 1970s New York City. Sure, Edith screeches some of the lyrics but that’s all part of it.


Boy the way Glen Miller played,
Songs that made the hit parade,
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days,
And you knew where you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again,
Didn't need no welfare state
Everybody pulled his weight,
Gee our old Lasalle ran great,
Those were the days
