TV Theme songs that were the schitt

[The_Hook_Up]

whats happening

cosign. found the Mancini LP with this on it awhile back...keep telling myself I am gonna make it my ringtone, but havent gotten around to it.

EMERGENCY! - this shit is some avant-garde tape loop
action ... if it wasn't a major TV theme, I would call it
"private press insanity!"

anudder cosign...sold an Emergency LP(kiddie LP with stories on it) awhile back...wish I would of kept it as it had some (uncredited) Swiss hard-rock raer on it (Toad) and some hittin' funk also...unfortunately it was all snippets with stories inbetween the music.

can't see all the YouTubes, so they may have been mentioned already:

Electric Company
Good Times
Different Strokes
Facts of Life
St.Elsewhere
Hill Street Blues

with some of these, it's hard to separate a favourite show from whether the theme song was actually good!

Some of you might find this entertaining...

Adventures In TV Land

Check out the krunked out "Tales From The Crypt" @ 5:50

Good fun!

This is really great and deserves a bump.

From my childhood, I liked the theme songs from Jem, 227, Electric Company and Amen...And Falcon Crest was probably #1 for a dramatic opening. Lorenzo Lamas, anyone?

My vote goes to The Hilarious House of Frightenstein...

Canadians are the only ones who will remember this from their childhood I bet - but that theme was pretty good - I mean, Vincent Price was on it.
