TV Themes
Here’s the last batch of TV themes, plus all the others previously posted.
Bonanza.mp3 (The all-time classic TV theme, probably. And a great series, too.)
I Dream Of Jeannie.mp3 (Or is this the all-time classic TV theme?)
The A-Team.mp3 (Insert your own joke about pitying the fool here.)
The Brady Bunch.mp3 (Oh come on, it is a wonderful TV theme, a sound that is of its time.)
E.R.mp3 (I’ve never watched E.R., but I do like the ’90s theme)
Dallas.mp3 (One to play when you come out of the shower)
Dynasty.mp3 (Stephen was one of the first openly gay TV characters. But, let’s face it, all the men in that show, except Blake, looked gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.)
Skippy, The Bush Kangaroo.mp3 (With Flipper, Lassie and Daktari, TV’s greatest show with animals.)
Full House.mp3 (The show that brought us the Olsen Twin and Bob Saget. Terrible show and a theme song that is so terrible it’s essential. One for the audio trivia quiz)
Pippi Langstrumpf.mp3 (A classic for for the German contingent. Anika was my first TV crush.)
And in previous episodes:
Magnum PI.mp3 (The cowboy from the Village People wanted his moustache back)
Diff’rent Strokes.mp3 (The worst show ever to have such a brilliant theme song. Cheesy, but quite excellent. Earworm ahoy)
L.A. Law.mp3 (Where I lived, Saturday nights began when the car boot slammed down.)
Perfect Strangers.mp3 (Will Cousin Larry be canonised for not bludgeoning Balki to death?)
News Radio.mp3 (Great, short theme. But is it better than WKRP‘s?)
Welcome Back, Kotter.mp3 (I had a friend who actually cultivated Horshack’s laugh. Signed Epstein’s Mother.)
thirtysomething.mp3 (The show that ought to have persuaded us to remain unwed forever.)
Hawaii 5-0.mp3 (The best TV theme of all time. Sampled to death)
Seinfeld.mp3 (Not that there’s anything wrong with it)
Quantum Leap.mp3 (Ah, the soundtrack to my mid-20s. Nice tune, actually)
WKRP In Cincinnati.mp3 (Video portrayed the radio star)
Three’s Company.mp3 (That intro! You’ll want to tag it under Porn Groove)
Derrick.mp3 (Long-running German cop show with another Porn Groove theme)
Sex And The City.mp3 (Did these women ever use condoms, I wonder?)
Star Trek.mp3 (Beam it up, Spotty. A ha ha ha ha and so on)
McGyver.mp3 (The file was broken. I fixed it with a spoon and a bit of candyfloss)
Hill Street Blues.mp3 (my all-time favourite police show)
Fraser.mp3 (I didn’t know Kelsey Grammer is a Republican. Tosser.)
Sesame Street.mp3 (I didn’t know Cookie Monster is a card-carrying ACLU member Democrat. Genius.)
Gun Smoke.mp3 (longest-running TV series ever, I think. Or was it Bonanza?)
Partridge Family.mp3 (Come on get happy. Especially for KP’s GF)
Who”s The Boss.mp3 (We know Alyssa Milano turned out hot, but is the little dweeb still a dweeb? Oh, and stupid Friends trivia: Which hit did Phoebe think goes: “Hold me closer, Tony Danza”?)
You have a great blog, I’ve really been enjoying checking it out. I checked in tonight and saw that you had up Pippy Longstocking, what a memory…I haven’t heard that song in 25 years, you made my day. Thanks again…
I think Full house is the best, dadMichael Simmermacher(from michaels)
I will not get happy dammit! No! Nooooo! *falls to the ground, fingers stuffed in her ears*
ah, sweet childhood memories.. I’m missing Biene Maja tho. The only Karel Gott song can name. I modelled myself on Willi when I was young :)
