"remember when a TV show was only as good as it's Theme song?"


          

Good Times

The Jeffersons

Cheers

Was there ever a bad theme song for a good show back in the day?

I think my favorite is MASH or Hill Street Blues or Welcome Back Kotter

I still search for a gif of Friar Tuck eating and tossing food periodically... and the way they structured the show

opened with the themesong..
followed by the recap of last week,
followed by the theme song again,
a commercial break
the theme song
5 minutes of show
the theme song
another commercial break
theme song
commercial break
theme song
closing credits

then it was time for Hercules or something

It's a little later, but for how good of a show it was, Seinfeld's Mouth Jazz Riffs or Whatever theme was underwhelming.

My nigga. Get into it:

For the record, this came out a year or so before I was born and I don't recall seeing old episodes during childhood but gotdamn!

Apparently, it was CBS's answer to the Cosby Show. And the network canceled the show after 18 episodes, or something.
