Your Favourite TV Themetunes?

[rinso]

My favorite vintage TV them song is "Phyllis" Loved the video that went along as well.

Honorable mention would have to be the theme from the Jack Benny Show that plays during the un-ending credits.

[decodriveboy]

Lord, don't get me started....

So many hours wasted in front of the tube, and so many favorite themes.

-Bewitched (Season 3 version best)
-I Dream Of Jeannie
-Silver Spoons (the first one)
-One Day At A Time (some people will hit me for that!)
-The Honeymooners
-Alice
-Phyllis (that theme was the gayest thing on TV, besides Paul Lynde perhaps)
-Carol Burnett Show
-Too Close For Comfort
-Three's A Crowd
-Land Of The Lost
-Gimme A Break (the second version)

and many more, of course. I sure do miss when shows had distinctive themes, unlike now where they fill the time with as many commercials as possible.

My all-time favourite has to be "Love Is All Around" from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".

But I also have a very soft spot for this one:

Ground Floor: Perfumery, Stationery and Leather Goods, Wigs and Haberdashery, Kitchenware and Food- Going up!

First Floor: Telephones, Gents' Ready-Made Suits, Shirts, Socks, Ties, Hats, Underwear and Shoes- Going up!

Second Floor: Carpets, Travel Goods and Bedding, Material, Soft Furnishing, Restaurant and Teas. Going down!

Yep- It's the theme from "Are You Being Served?" Great show, though I understand not quite as beloved in Britain as it is here. I also love the themes from "Last of the Summer Wine" and "The Vicar of Dibley".

"Yep- It's the theme from "Are You Being Served?" Great show, though I understand not quite as beloved in Britain as it is here"

Not in this house - we LOVE Are You Being Served. I may have posted this clip before but hey, who cares??

 

[retroguy]

Mine is......

The Golden Girls.

"Thank you for being a friend." I believe these lyrics were originally penned by a gent named Andrew Gold. Good song for this site though, don't you think? Where we always feel as if we are among friends? =)

 

[drmitch]

Perry Mason, Dark Shadows, Leave it to Beaver, Bewitched.

 

[coldspot]

Oh you forgot about George & mildred,

 

[coldspot]

Also man about the house. Then there is Robin's Nest. All three of them shows would be made into usa shows.

The ropers.
three company.
three's a crowd.

But the ones from the uk are and will always be the best.

 

[coldspot]

Heck here is Robin's Nest.

 

[jaxsunst]

I have two:
1. Green Acres (It is the ringback tone on my cell phone)
2. "All Things just Keep Getting Better" - Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, I have that one as the opening song to all of my workout playlists on my iPod.

 

[bongobro]

don't let the French title throw you off!

The theme tune for "Hazel" (particularly the 1961-62 premiere season) brings back happy memories of a simpler time for me...not to mention some cool-looking old Fords!



BTW: Note that Shirley Booth is pulling the cookies out of what may be an old O'Keefe and Merritt stove; note the RCA Whirlpool (gas?) fridge in the background; by 1962, when Ford bought Philco, the appliances were replaced with TOL Philco products (including a Philco-Bendix washer/dryer pair--NOT a Duomatic)...

("Hazel" was renamed "Adele" in its French translation; "co-vedette" literally means "co-starring"...)

 

[bongobro]

zut alors! let's try that link again!

 

[rexaircollector]

How about this one?

I like this one myself!

 

[rexaircollector]

I am sure this is a favorite too!
