This week: What are 3 TV theme songs you can sing from start to finish? (Whether you do so with pride or not is up to you!)

Hilarious thought…okay, I’ll play.
1. Flipper (you’re too young to remember this one)
2. Gilligan’s Island (also before your time but you may have seen reruns)
3. Friends

This is a good one! I can remember a lot of theme tunes like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie, and maybe some parital words to some of the songs. Hmmm…
1- Brady Brunch
2 – Gilligan’s Island – sadly Jersey Girl, it is not before her time, because I am the same age she is and I remember it, haha! (Maybe it was re-runs, 😉
3 -The Flinstones – Do cartoons count? If not, then replace it with Happy Days =)
I can’t wait to see what everyone else comes up with!
1-Happy Days
2-Laverne and Shirly
3-Three’s Company
Oh but I do (embarrasslingly, or not really) know many more!!!!!
1. The Partridge Family
2. The Brady Bunch
3. Laverne & Shirley
I came up with a bunch, but narrowed it down to these three!
Oh wow, after reading everyone else’s lists, I’m with Chris… know all of these too and more!

@ Debi – I still love the Flintstones theme but what I remember most about that cartoon is Fred Flintstone doing the commercials for Winston cigarettes…and I still know THAT jingle too! “Winston tastes good like a – clap clap – cigarette should!”
Can you believe that? It seems so wrong now but it was commonplace then.

I love all of yours! Why are we all picking ’70s shows? Maybe modern sitcoms don’t have themes with words? hmmmm … I’ll ask my kids.
Anyway, mine are all ’70s, too:
– Welcome Back Kotter (“welcome back …. your dreams were your … ticket out…”)
– The Love Boat (“…love … exciting and new. … come aboard. … we’re expecting yooooou …”)
– And I have to go with Debi and M on The Brady Bunch! (“here’s a story …”)
Now that I’ve left all those songs in your head. …
Jersey Girl — I don’t know of that cigarette commercial with Fred Flintstone! Wow. I didn’t know “Fred” did commercials. (And yeah, jingles are a whole new list, huh?) Interesting.
Okay Laurie, I decided I didn’t want to repeat the same ones everyone else had (even though those are definitely ingrained in my head). Therefore, I tried to pick a few from a few years after those shows and came up with:
1) Different Strokes
2) Facts of Life
3) Fresh Prince of Belair
Hi, Laurie. I have to admit I’m in the 70s camp with everyone else on this. Guess it’s just a product of our age. Though I will cop to the Friends theme song. And then there is a little-known fave of “Ed” — Foo Fighters “Next Year.” And I do miss the “Weeds” theme song of “Little Boxes.” In our older camp, I am surprised no one thought of the duh-duh-duh-duh-snap-snap “Addams Family” theme song… and the other big duh-duh-duh song — BATMAN!
Ahh, yes – The Facts of Life and Welcome Back Cotter. What About Threes Company! I think now they use more songs from the radio or just music, except for maybe some of the kid shows.
Jersey Girl, I don’t remember Freds commercial either, but I do remember Lucy doing the vitamegavegamin!
Not that I want to make myself sound even older, but Gilligan’s island was not a 70’s show…it aired in ’64 and ran for 3 years. The Flintstones was even older – aired in 1960 and ended in 1965…the same year cigarette commercials were banned from television.

And I just checked – I dream of Jeannie is a 60’s show too! I live in the past, apparently. 🙂

Well, I guess we were watching re-runs then! Come to think of it, they were on during early evening and some of them day time, that should have tipped me off! Now I feel younger =)
Daeners and Shea — More great ones! Oooh, a Foo Fighters theme song — finally something modern. (Though I forgot about “Friends”! The Rembrants –Another modern group, at least.) And “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” was a great one to memorize! My son even watched that in re-runs for years.
Jersey Girl and Debi — I had NO IDEA that Gilligan’s Island aired from ’64-’67! Really? Now that I think about it, their dress did look fairly ’60s. (Although with the stranded-on-an-island thing and all, it was hard to see what their real form of dress was, huh?) Anyway, I guess I thought that was airing in my time, but I guess we were watching them on reruns. Obviously, I wasn’t very savvy about the whole “rerun” thing!
