One thing I haven’t done enough is take some TV openings and review them. So far, I have only done this with The Cosby Show, the TGIF shows, the Disney anthologies, and an article where I discussed how theme songs evolve with the series. So I decided, it was time to try this again. (and yes, Nostalgia Critic did this idea once too).
This is just an experiment of sorts, but if I like it maybe I will do more. No order or common theme, just throwing out an opening and reviewing it. And I will stick with sitcoms this time around. Yes it’s true sitcom openings are hard to review because they are usually so generic. But let’s give it a shot anyway.
Night Court
Night Court is one of those themes that tries to trick you. It looks like its going for a gritty realistic cop show. Then the jazz music kicks in, and you can tell it’s not that. It’s amazing how well this music sets the tone for whole series. The visuals are limited. All we see is our actor smiling mixed with quick shots of New York at night. And yet, the tone is set perfectly!
It’s
funny how some TV themes/openings become so well known that they become
iconic. Others, not so much. And it’s not because the show was awful or
they were bad theme songs. In fact quite the contrary. It’s could be a
case of the show itself never reaching that status level where the
opening was something that everyone knew. For instance, who remember
this :
The theme to “It’s a Living’ is fantastic…but who remember it? Or the
show for that matter? It lasted a year on network TV before finding
life in syndication.
Another reason for this could be because the opening was trimmed down. For instance :
Notice how that was a little longer than you may remember it? That’s
because the long version isn’t used a lot, it’s easier to trim it for ad
time. I LOVED this Leon Redbone theme for this show. But even trimmed I
bet most remember it. The same can be said for the trimmed version of the Friends theme, even without the opening of the song I'm sure most people still remember that one. Some shows, not quite as lucky. When the theme
gets trimmed often it gets forgotten
Here are a few more great openings to good shows which aren’t as memorable as they should be.
Head of the Class
I loved the theme to this show, and man was I amazed to find out that there is a full length one! Yeah the theme we see most common edits out the kids so we just have Charlie struggling to get to work. I love the longer opening;s music too, it's one of my favorite themes ever. That no one sees.
I
talked earlier this year about how a TV show opening will be kind of
lousy in a show’s early years. So lousy it gets chucked and replaced.
Some shows never change their opening, it’s the same year after year.
And then there’s that third category of TV show opening, when the
opening music and even some of the visuals remains the same, but evolves
as the show progresses. Maybe the music is jazzed up a bit or the
graphics improved, but it’s not a replacement as much as an improvement
to what had been. For example, The Brady Bunch was basically the same
opening every year but the music was re-recorded as the kids grew and
they updated the visuals to reflect the fact the kids were growing.
You
can see this in Friends, Saved By The Bell, and countless other shows
where it was the same opening they just replaced some of the clips.
Some shows do a little more than simply replace the visuals however.
Here are a few examples of what I mean, TV openings that weren’t changed
because they sucked as much as they took an opening theme that was just
fine and improved on it to evolve with the show.
A Different World
This is one of my favorite examples. This was of course The Cosby
spin-off starring Lisa Bonet (at first). Here is the Season 1 version:
Pretty..awful. It really looks like “The Denise Huxtable Show”, which
I guess is what it was at first. Thankfully when Debbie Allen came in
she retooled everything, even the theme. So we got the same theme,
re-sung, with this interesting concept:
This was sooo much better. The same song but it gave the feeling it
was more of an ensemble show than the other opening did. It got a couple
minor tweaks until the final season when it was revamped with a jazzier
theme (sang by Boyz II Men) and was a lot faster. No disrespect to
Aretha Franklin of course who turned that boring theme from Season 1
into something memorable.
Oh and yes, that is Jada Pinkett, Cree Summer and Ajai Sanders in the credits.
So last time I talked about theme songs I mentioned how some theme's are extended into full length songs. But an even cooler thing some may not know is that a lot of iconic instrumental theme's do in fact have lyrics. Some were created for the show but never used, others added after the fact for whatever reason.
Here are ten theme's with the lyrics which you may have never heard before:
I Love Lucy
This one isn't really a surprise the instrumental version practically screams the words. Truth is though, as is the case with most of these, it's a lot better without the words.
You
may have noticed something odd in my last theme song article. The Fresh
Prince theme was a tad, longer than you may have remembered. That’s
because it was written as a full song. However, the full version was
used all of once and after that we got the truncated (but still awesome)
version.
And this isn’t the only example of this happening. A lot of theme’s
have extended, full length versions that were released as singles and
even played on the radio. Some actually started that way, before
becoming a theme song. Others were created after the show (and
subsequently the theme) became so popular that demand for a full version
prompted one.
There are a ton of these but to keep this from going on forever,
let’s just talk about a few of them today. No specific order and only
songs, we’ll get to instrumentals another time.
“Thank You For Being a Friend” by Andrew Gold
Let’s start with this little gem. We all know “Thank You for Being a
Friend” from The Golden Girls. Did you know this was first a full length
song written by Andrew Gold? It was re-recorded by Cynthia Free when it
was adopted by the show.
Last
month I talked about awful Season 1 theme songs I mentioned how
Charlotte Rea sang the Facts of Life theme that first year, badly.
Thankfully that one was re-recorded but a lot of other theme songs are
sung by the stars and the song does work and even becomes iconic.
Here are my ten favorite theme songs sung by the stars of the show themselves.
#10.Frasier
I’ve complained how annoying the lyrics are to this but outing that
aside it’s always fun to hear Kelsey Grammar’s bouncy rendition of this
theme.
#9.My Two Dads
Most don’t remember this show, and I don’t blame them for that, but
it wasn’t that bad really. Greg Evigan starred and of course sang the
theme song. And it’s sung pretty darn well, for a silly so like this
anyway.
Continuing
my unintentional theme this months on TV theme’s! I talked before about
how a show will begin with an awful theme, and then replace it with one
which is not only better but far better. So better you forget that
awful one ever happened. Well, it can go the other way too. Sometimes
for a show’s final season the creators will change up the familiar and
popular theme, with one that isn’t. And I don’t mean changing the images
or altering the length of the song. I mean re-recording a new version
of the opening song, or a totally new song altogether, and it’s just
awful.
Of course this often works fine. Like the evolving “Boy Meets World”
theme’s which were always good, or “Alf”‘s jazzier theme in its later
years, and of course changing up the song didn’t hurt “A Different
World” any. But not all are so lucky.
Here are five examples of what I mean. And again, just opinion. If
you love these versions of these shows openings then more power to you. I
did not.’
Growing Pains
For some reason I will never understand around the season 7 it was
decided to re-record the theme. BJ Thomas wrote and sung “As Long as we’ve Got Each
Other ” and it was great, he even released it as a single. The new
version? Some kind of acapalla version which is so awful. It’s slow and I
hated it instantly. At least this clip is before Leonardo Dicaprio is painfully forced onto the series. Ugh.
Awhile
back I talked about the Miller/Boyett production company. Helmed by
Thomas Miller and Robert Boyett they produced a ton of memorable shows
in the 80’s and 90’s. There’s actually a lot to this story,
including when it was Miller-Milkis, but I wont bore you with a history
lesson. Suffice to say they produced shows we still love and remember
today. And all of these shows had clever, memorable theme songs.
We all know these theme songs. They are silly, corny, totally
80’s…and I love them!!!! Seriously I wish they still made TV shows and
theme songs like this. These shows, mostly, were a big part of TGIF
being successful for ABC because they were so family friendly but still
watchable. So I thought it would be fun to go through and rank these
themes, from the most grating to the most pleasing. In order to make it
ten I am including the less popular shows. And I decided to ignore the
Milkis era, leaving off gems like Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley.
This is strictly the Miller/Boyett shows which began around 1986.
#10.The Family Man
Never heard of it? There’s a reason. This show was pretty quickly
forgotten, and it was bad right from the theme music. It’s as if they
said “let’s just do what Full House did, with lamer Boy Meets World
style music”. Gregory Harrison starred and it was about a family…and
that was it. No hook at all. The short instrumental tune was done by
Jesse Frederick and, well, we’ll be talking a lot more about him. And yes, instrumental. As in no lyrics just awful elevayor music.
I
talked about Tom Hanks the other day, and I neglected to mention that
the theme I posted to his TV show “Bosom Buddies” changed from the Billy
Joel tune to another due to rights issues. It’s not uncommon on TV
shows to dump a theme song between seasons. As I’ve noted Sometimes it
will take a TV show time to find it’s voice, so to speak. It can go
through changes in cast and even premise before finally hitting that
magic formula. And at times, this can even include the theme song!
Now it’s true that some shows intentionally change up their theme
song every year. The Cosby Show, for instance, gave us new titles and
music almost every season. Boy Meets World’s theme evolved with the show
of course. And Sabrina also updated the visuals and music every year.
Sometimes it’s just to update things, like Gilligan’s Island adding “The
Professor and Mary Anne” to the song or the briefer but still awesome
version of the Full House theme we got in that show’s last year.
But sometimes a theme will just be, wrong. So wrong that it is
quickly tossed aside and forgotten. Here are ten examples of what I
mean. One rule these are themes that aired for a few episode at least,
and weren’t just part of a pilot presentation that never aired on TV.
Since those are usually thrown together and often tossed fast. “The
Nanny” is a great example of this and if I had found a decent clip I’d
have posted it.
Oh and as usual this just opinion, if you loved these theme songs then more power to you.
I Dream of Jeannie
Not gonna lie, until this moment I never knew there was any other
version than the classic. Weird. And it’s bad, like a rejected version
of the Dick Van Dyke Show theme.
A
few weeks ago I mentioned that I couldn’t come up with any
anniversaries this year. Then I realized it was Garfield’s 40th. And
then I realized it was Superman’s 80th. And hey guess who else has a
birthday this year? Yes there’s yet another one later this year for a
certain little mouse. Makes you wonder how much attention I pay to
things when three icons I love have birthday’s this year and I didn’t
realize it.
To be fair there is time for Mickey since he debuted November 18th,
1928. So consider this the start of a special celebration for my
favorite little mouse. In that spirit, I decided to finally do an idea I
have wanted to do for a long time, but never quite came together. If
there is one thing Disney used to do with their anthology TV shows was
have wonderful openings that got your attention and got you excited.
This was back when they had special shows rather than just owning
everything.
Now I am not including any of the specific shows, just the anthology
shows which would feature other shows, cartoons, and old movies (and the
occasional brand new stuff). There are others who are more qualified to
give a specific history of these, this is just for good fun. And they
aren’t all great, like that awful World of Color opening (it’s in color
we get it! Is that all we get for an hour? Color)? Or NBC's "Wonderful World" opening which felt rushed and half assed.
Good Morning Mickey
Ok, picture it. The year was around 1986. It’s early in the morning,
you’re trying to get ready for school, so you put the Disney Channel on.
And what do you see?
Yeah for what was just a collection of old cartoons this opening was
so bright and upbeat in the morning that it kind of helped me to have a
great day.
I’ve
talked about TV theme songs before, and how some of them are so good
not only do they get you hyped for the show but they help you to
remember and want to come back to the show. Sometimes though, a theme
goes one step even beyond that. There is something about the lyrics or
the way they are sung that makes a part of the theme, if not the entire
theme, a part of pop culture itself.
For instance, whenever you move to a bigger place, get a better job, or have some sort of upgrade in your life what's the piece of music you always think of?
"Movin On Up" is such a part of pop culture we all think it. Here are ten more examples for what I mean, theme songs so well known that
chances are you’ve heard it even if you’ve never seen the show. And
only theme with lyrics or we’ll be here all day. And it’s the lyrics
we’re focusing on, so for instance Mary Tyler Moore isn’t on here
because it’s more that image of her throwing the hat into the hair that
people remember than the actual song. And while the doo doo notes from
Twilight Zone are iconic, that’s not exactly lyrics.
Laverne and Shirley
GO ahead, I dare you. go ahead and count to ten an not want to shout
Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated,” after you hit #8. I
sure can’t. The silly, and to be fair pointless, start of this intro is
so famous that it has been parodied all over the place. And in case you
didn’t know, the chant is a Yiddish-Amercian hopscotch chant that was
part of Penny Marshall’s childhood. And yes the song that comes after is
pretty damn good too.
It’s Halloween!! For a special treat I have a two part article for you
covering something that, much to my surprise, I have never covered
before!
Halloween is a great time for scary movies, cool TV specials, and of
course Halloween episodes of sitcoms and cartoons. But the one thing
that makes the holiday really stand out is the music. There is something
so special about Halloween music, even organ music which normally I
don’t care for but this time of year just works. Now in the past I have
stated that I don’t really consider something a holiday installment if
it has nothing to do with the holiday. For instance a horror movie is
great but what does it have to do with Halloween specifically (except
the few set on that day)? But with music I am more lenient, pretty much
any creepy song will fit the bill. One reason being that finding
Halloween songs are a little bit harder than Christmas music which is
endless.
Today my focus is on theme songs, from movies and TV, which have a
scary and ominous tone. These are theme’s everyone knows, even if you’ve
never seen the show or movie. They’re creepy and dark, and get you
ready for the scares ahead! The big rule here, no lyrics. Just the creepy music (and visuals). I will be covering songs with lyrics tomorrow. Here are my ten favorites:
#10.Amazing Stories
This was an anthology series in the 80’s which Steven Spielberg was
behind. I wish it was more remembered than it is, but it was pretty
cool! I know I may be alone on this one, but I loved this theme!
About five months ago I discussed theme songs that I loved to TV
shows I never watched. It takes a special kind of theme to become so
popular that people know and love it despite never watching the show.
Even if the show isn’t that great.
And I found five more!
#5.The Beverly Hillbillies
I am not sure why I never got into this show, but I didn’t. But the
theme song, now that’s another story. Who doesn’t love the ballad of Jed
Clampett played on that cool banjo? Like all good theme songs it sets
up the premise of the show in a very memorable way. It was a very
popular song making the billboard charts.
#4.Room 222
Now when I saw I never saw this one, I really mean it. I barely heard
of it! But I came across the tune on a compilation album and just loved
it! It quickly became ome of my favorite theme songs..even though I
have never seen this show. At all. For those like me this show was a
comedy-drama about a history class in a fictional school in California
that aired in the early 70’s following The Brady Bunch and The Partridge
Family and before The Odd Couple. By the way according to Wikipedia the
theme was written by Jerry Goldsmith. The guy responsible for many of
the Star Trek themes (among dozens of others move themes). That may
explain why I liked it so much. Follow the link and take a listen, you
may be surprised by the nice soft melody.

Theme songs are amazing things. A good
theme song and get you excited for a show, and makes you smile when you
think of it even years later. I have talked a lot about theme songs from
TV shows I loved, but what about from TV shows I did not love? It is
something special when a TV theme is so memorable that even though I had
no interest in the program, I still can't help but love the theme!
Here are my top 5 favorite themes to TV shows I never watched
High
on he list because, honestly, I am not sure if I never watched it or
not. I was familair with it, but watch it? Not sure. I was to young to
remember. But the theme is great song that I love to listen to. It was
also a full fledged song which I remember hearing on my radio many times
in the good old days.
I
said before that I never watched this show, and I didn't, but you gotta
admit it has an awesome theme! Of course the reason I am so familiar
with it is probably because anytime anyone does something legal related
in a comedy show, this is the theme that more often than not pops up.
Yes my friends, it's true. I have hit the 400 blog mark. Maybe it isn't such a big deal
and I am just making to much out of it, but I can't believe I have made
it this far. I started writing blogs on Auguest 25, 2011 and now nearly
three years later I am still coming up with ideas. Yeah, some of them
work better than others but I'm still here. I love nostalgia and I enjoy
sharing that love with all of you. And the best part is that there is a
site like this one where I am able to do that.
So when I hit 100 blogs I did a look at sitcom production companies.
My 200th was a look at my all time favorite TV shows, while the 300th
was those shows I HATE! So I tried to decide what to do today, and then a
little idea came to me. Since I am trying to do more reviewing, why not
review something that very few have? TV Show openings!
Those classic TV show openings/theme
songs were always a lot of fun especially in the 80's. I can't explain
to those to young understand, but a good theme song and opening really
got you ready for the show. But more than that, it made you feel good
knowing you could just relax, forget about the day's troubles, and enjoy
your favorite show. In 1986 NBC had a slogan "Come on home to NBC" and I
loved that. Man I miss those days. Anyway, I seem to be rambling. I am
going to take a look at all seven opening sequences to one of my
favorite shows, The Cosby Show!!
The Cosby Show premiered in 1984 and was a major hit. The show's theme music, "Kiss Me", was composed by Stu Gardner and Bill Cosby.The
Cosby Show set the standard for the silly opening theme where the cast
danced and smiled at the audience. But were the openings good, or lame?
Let's take a look :
SEASON 1 PLAYING IN THE PARK
The
theme music is perfect, but who came up with this idea? We'll have a
series of pictures go by. This isn't so bad now, but imagine it was 1984
and you are watching this show for the first time as I was. I remember
what I thought : who are these people?? When a show first premiers the
opening needs to introduce
us to the series, but some forget the opening altogether especially with
the pilot and just show the names of the cast because they realize no
one has any idea who these characters are yet. Who's The Boss? pilot
just shows Tony's truck driving
to Angela's. Growing Pains showed weird paintings and then one photo of
the family at the end. Friends pilot just showed the cast dancing
around the water fountain because clips of the characters would have
been pointless for the pilot. But this....was bad. Until I had become
familiar with the show, the pics flashing by me meant nothing. Even Alf
did it better, with the opening theme showing just enough so we would
recognize the characters. Maybe I am being to hard on this one, but this
one was just fail.I mean, the names come over the kids being helped out
of a van. Yawn.
Today is my birthday and I thought I would treat myself to a little
nostalgia. I love theme songs! Just listening to a classic TV show theme
is enough to bring back such good memories. I have every compilation CD
and my IPOD is full of them. When done right, a really good theme
becomes bigger than the show.
Awhile
back I did a few articles on my favorite theme songs. But my inability
to pick and choose made the lists have 11 choices! So today I want to
talk about the cream of the crop. The five best Sitcom theme songs of
them all (in my opinion anyway)!
#5.The Brady Bunch
Is
there anyone in the world who doesn't know this theme? Even if you
despise the show, you know the way ths goes. I know most would choose
Gilligan's Island, but for me it will always be the story of the lovely
lady that tops my list.
#4.Welcome Back, Kotter
I
hated this show, but what can I say? The theme song is great! John
Sebastian wrote a song which perfectly captures the series, and it was
released as a full length song (as was all of these except the first).
70's had a lot of good themes like Taxi and Mary Tyler Moore but this is
the one I think is the best.
#3.Happy Days/Laverne & Shirley
Is
a tie cheating? Ah, who cares. What can you say? Both of these songs
are simply fantastic. I have mixed feelings for these shows, but the
theme songs are awesome! These shows were both so groundbreaking, and
who doesn't love The Fonz?
#2.Cheers
I
could be wrong but I think I knew the song before I became a fan of the
show. That's how great this song is! It just fits the show perfectly,
not just the lyrics but the whole piano melody. I think Les has said he
still gets request for this, please correct me if I'm wrong, and I have
no doubt about it. Family Ties was nice but dull and Cosby doesn't cound
as a theme song. This is the ideal theme, perfect marriage of song and
show.
#1.Friends
I
know, I know. But this theme does everything right. It's a catchy song,
it fits the mood of the show, and it even gives you an idea of what
it's about. Well, sort of anyway. I love this song and it's not wonder
it was such hit in the 90's.The 90's is when theme songs were starting
to fall out of fashion, and so this was a refreshing way to show that
good theme songs will always be loved.
The
list of honorable mentions is way to long. But from the non-sitcom
world we have the theme to The Greatest American Hero. I adore this
song, heck Cinema Snob even uses it, and it is perfect. I leave you with
it:
I
did a BEST list today, so I guess I should do a WORST list. And I think
I have a good idea for one! Look out for that in a couple days.
I've talked a lot about the theme songs I loved, but what
about the other side of the coin. Those themes which just plain suck. Sometimes
it’s a good song which just does not fit the show, other times the song is just
plain awful, so awful the theme is literally replaced.
This is not limited to sitcoms. Here are 11 of my least favorite
themes, this is all just opinion.
#11.Home Improvement
This theme isn't god awful, it does fit the show, but the
metal tune has never been a favorite either. It's sort of annoying especially
the beginning. It does get better as the theme plays. In fact when I watch this
show in re runs I often fast forward through the opening. To be fair the
animation is pretty cool.
I said before how theme songs are important because it helps
make a connection to the show. We remember the cool song or music. In my day,
before the internet, themes were one way for people to share their love for
programs. You hear someone singing The Brady Bunch theme, and suddenly everyone
in the room start singing. In fact, an early episode of Friends acknowledged
this very thing in one episode which begins with the six singing to a theme
song(Sanford and Son I think).
My point is that as true as this is for adults, it's even
more so for kids. Theme's to children’s shows and cartoons have to draw you in
and get you excited. Even today they still do, when I first heard the SpongeBob
theme I admit, I liked it. Not enough to watch it or anything, but I can see
why little kids are drawn to it. I still remember that moment when a certain
show would start with the kick ass theme, and suddenly we were paying
attention.
Ok, enough rambling here my ten favorite theme songs from
children's programs and cartoons. Of course I was an 80's kid so most of these
are going to be from that era though a few 90’s stuff is here. The only 70’s
show I really remember was The Brady Kids and I hated that show. And as always just my opinion.
#11. DuckTales
I give my baby sister credit because if not for her I never
would have been exposed to The Disney Afternoon. Rescue Rangers was awesome,
and Tail Spin was pretty good. The best show of course was DuckTales, and had
that theme that you will never get out of your head. I think what is so cool
about this is that it's an original song, not some rip off or pointless music.
#11 because I didn't exactly grow up with it, but I have to acknowledge how
awesome it is. By the way, my baby sister now has a baby who is one years old.
How scary is that?
As I continue my look at my favorite theme songs, I turn to
the instrumental ones. Sure the silly songs with fun lyrics are more memorable,
but that doesn't mean the one's without lyrics are not memorable at all. In
fact it can be argued they make a bigger impact. When a theme has lyrics it's
easy to make a connection with a viewer. The best of these are the ones where
you hear the music; you think of the show and can’t imagine one without the
other. When there are no lyrics it's harder, the theme needs to be something
memorable and interesting enough to get the viewer excited and make them want
to see what is coming next.
For example, when I first heard the theme for Dinosaurs (a
Jim Henson production from the 90's which was very good) I was interested. The
music was suspenseful, and made you feel like something very different was
coming. Then we see the reveal of Earl Sinclair, and the music changed to
something more light to inform me it was a fun show involving dinosaurs.I was really curious, and couldn't wait to
see what this show was going to be all about. This is an example of very, very
well done theme music. Check it out:
Here’s another good example, from Coach. This show was about
a college football coach. Of course there is more to it than that, but is the
basic premise. So the show would need a theme which makes you think of
collegiate sport, maybe sounding like a school band is playing in a half time
show, to get the idea across. That’s what we get, and it’s done very well. The
theme is one of the first things I loved about that show.
Final example before I get to my favorites. Say you have a
show about a group of aliens landing on Earth.You need something with a unique sound, with kind of a sci fi angle to
it. That’s what 3rd Rock From the Sun did very well with this guitar
riff.
Now for my top 11. This is only for sitcoms, I will get to
the other amazing themes later on. The only rule for this list is it has to be
a theme which had no lyrics when it was on TV. Many of these tunes do in fact
have lyrics, but they were not presented when the series was broadcast.
#11. MASH
Ok this is the top for several reasons. The first is that I
argue if this is even a sitcom. The series is so depressing how does adding a
laugh track make it a sitcom? No disrespect to the show. Second is that this is
a very well know song. Suicide is Painless was played, with lyrics, in the
movie. Third, I was never a MASH fan as you may know so while I love the theme
there are others I like more. All that being said, this was an amazing show and
the theme music fit the mood perfectly.
