Me too.

I also liked the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.  8) Cowabunga!

    St. Elsewhere and Cheers     http://www.garyportnoy.com

  For sheer song value I liked
          FAME!    &  Miami Vice.
    and the one for Dallas surely set the tone of the show, even though I never stayed awake to watch!        I did love the Quantum Leap opening sequence and show tho:  Right on Mr.smith s!

  Tho' it is neither 80s or has anything to do with anything, I am now wrestling with the opening music for LA LAW!     
          I gotta get outta this place for a while.  All this remembering is taxing my brainpower and I'm
ready for lunch as it is.

Tho' it is neither 80s or has anything to do with anything, I am now wrestling with the opening music for LA LAW!   


Didnt LA Law start in 1987?  I used to like watching the beginning with all the skyscrapers lit up at night.

BTW Fame is one of my fav songs too.

CARE BEARS THEME SONG ABSOLUTELY!!! :)

That and the Miami Vice theme song. good MIDI sound.

  Didn't it always make you run from anywhere in the house if youj heard a cartoon theme song?
  I remember watching scooby doo at 5 at night and wishing we weren't preparing for dinner about then when the tv was shut off for meals.
    I think I liked those cute little shirt tales and all that dag on "BBBoooIING!" from the monkey or the fast running tiger??? And laugh if you wish but I loved the opening to the Wild WEst cowboys of Moo mesa.  Cows riding horseback as the sherriff and deputy cows in a western town was ingenius for a show. I was sorry it never got good ratings.

wild west cowboys of Moo mesa,i totally dug that show! ABC right?

Yeah, it was on ABC, but I think it was 90's.

  My mistake. The Cows were probably early '90 cause I'm almost sure I was just about out of jr. high.  But I loved the quirky shows that never were big hits.  Q-Bert, Rubix cube, oh, and I loved Pac Man.  That dog and cat were almost blobs but still very cute.

I know it was early 90s; in fact, I think I may have watched it. I was starting junior high at the time, by the way.

Miami Vice theme for me!

facts of life and Charles in Charge! Charles in charge of my days and my nights, ohohhhhhhh, charles in charge of my wrongs and my rights.....I want Charles in charge of meeeee.  I still catch myself singing that one  ;)

Anyone recall that Charles had two different families?  The first one had 2 boys and a girl but the girl was a brunette, and the second one was the one they showed repeats of for years with that hot girl from Baywatch Nicole Egart(sp).  Someone else remember this fact or did I dream this one up?  Rubixgirl are you out there, lol?

Tanya

Here's a few that  no one's mentioned, all my favourites:

A Different World "I know my parents love me, stand behind me, come what may....."

Minder (well I 1st saw it in the 80s) "I could be so good for you...."

Maja The Bee

Mask "This is the laser age -run away!"

Absolutly positivly the wuzzles. Bill says ducktales. Shelly says Jem.

Moonlighting

The Cosby Show (I like all of the openers...but my favorites are the 1st season & the "tropical dance" opener of the 5th season)

Valerie/Valerie's Family/Hogan Family (life is such a sweet insanity...the more you learn the less you know)

Alice (early to rise...early to bed...)

Night Court

This past weekend, this one radio station in my area (which now has a new format) was playing some TV theme songs, with a few 80's themes among them. Some of them I enjoyed.


Magnum PI
Knight Rider
Cheers
L.A. Law
Saved By The Bell (1989, so it counts as 80s)


One they didn't play was "Airwolf"...that one I kinda like.

Miami Vice...best.

Knight Rider

Qunatum Leap

Sledge Hammer

21 Jump Street

Married...With Children

Saved By The Bell

Star Trek: Next Generation

GI Joe

Great AMerican Hero

The A-team

Magnum PI

What about the "Full House" theme? That was kinda cute and catchy!

Miami Vice    theme song was HOT!  ;D


Oh yeah you know it! ;D

Well I would have to pick:

1) Magnum PI
2) Miami Vice
3) Tour of Duty ( which was the Rolling Stones Paint it Black....and it to got me into the Stones)
4) Gi Joe
5) Hardcastle and Mccormeck(spelling?)
6) Dynasty
7) Wonder Years

The greatest american hero was my favorite...

   My mistake. The Cows were probably early '90 cause I'm almost sure I was just about out of jr. high.   But I loved the quirky shows that never were big hits.  Q-Bert, Rubix cube, oh, and I loved Pac Man.  That dog and cat were almost blobs but still very cute.


I never watched the show, but Q-Bert was one of my favorite video games.  There's a family I know that does a HUGE Christmas display every year, and they have a plastic Q-Bert statue in one of the trailers.  They actually have tons of 80s memorabilia, now that I think of it...

Greatest American Hero
Welcome Back Kotter (did that run into the 80's?)
Facts Of Life
Laverne & Shirley
Jeffersons

What about the "Full House" theme? That was kinda cute and catchy!


There was a long version of it that was played during the 1991-92 season...I kinda liked that version, but I never heard it again afterwards.

'Run With Us' by Lisa Lougheed.  The closing theme song to the popular cartoon 'The Raccoons'.  It became a minor hit in Canada which means there was a music video ...

----------------------------------------

'Together Through the Years' by Roberta Flack.  The theme to 'Valerie'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gv-Bm2BTMw

and 'The Hogan Family'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UumiZKltAPQ

----------------------------------------

The theme to 'Newhart' by Henri Mancini.  As the song played, a camera pans across a country side.  Simply beautiful! 8)

Every time I watch that, I try to see the road sign to find out EXACTLY where that is. I know where the inn is (it is the Wayberry Inn in Middlebury) but I can never figure out what road they are on in the beginning. My guess is somewhere close to Middlebury.
