Oh this was the Theme from The Jackie Gleason Show, in all its incarnations. The song was composed by Jackie Gleason and it is a brilliant piece of music

Season 9 theme of Knots Landing was the best. I know most hated it.

Season 3 theme of Falcon Crest was the best

Absolutely love the Dallas theme song, it still grabs me and has aged beautifully.

I really loved the Falcon Crest theme, but not for the music at all...but for the EPIC hair toss that Susan Sullivan did year after year. Just perfection.

I also think the Law & Order theme is a classic.

The following P&G soap openings are among my favorites:

ATWT's 1981-93 Opening:

AW's 1981-87 Opening:

AW's 1987-96 Opening:

GL's 1985-90 Opening (after the show switched to a rock version of "My Guiding Light"):

(Please note that I'm fully aware that the visuals for the above GL opening changed in the fall of 1986 from an orange background to a blue background. Also, the rock theme's tempo change two times during this period.)

GL's 1991-2002 Opening:

SFT's Circa 1974-81 Opening:

Note that I actually prefer the more uptempo version of the above theme, which was dropped in favor of the slower version in early 1980. Below is a fan made SFT opening that features this uptempo version:

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
