Members All My Shadows Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 Combine my two passions, music and television, and I can talk about this for hours. My #1 fave is Knots Landing's S4 theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 I like Knots season 1 the best myself... for what reason, I don't know. This has always been one of my favorites, and considering Maureen McGovern Had sung not one but TWO oscar winning movie themes, it was quite a coup to get her to do a TV theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x7EB8NkL2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 I always loved when the star of the show would sing the theme, (Except the first season of Facts Of Life where Charlotte Rae sings the theme) The two best of this batch are these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3GpxAyM6yc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Max Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 The Dallas theme is the all time best in TV history: http://youtu.be/nG4CuOToA4k (Sorry about the link, but embedding was disabled.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 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 <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yBYDFO995Ek" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gEQg-L-Rbp0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 Season 9 theme of Knots Landing was the best. I know most hated it. <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iPXn-QNxUKM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Season 3 theme of Falcon Crest was the best <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZmEWSDWZhJs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The worst was The Colbys... <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oUo_fDtezV4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> other best <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/omPSKK0zsMw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/M82CUd6isyY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 Agreed..my favorite version of it was season 8...season 9 on dvd release <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WJSymDQ118k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The incredible hulk was the best with Wonder Woman too.

Members quartermainefan Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 I could post forever, but here is a theme within a show that wasn't the show's theme. I will always love her and her song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcsRRnQW9oE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 The following P&G soap openings are among my favorites: ATWT's 1981-93 Opening: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-vqYeZiwlSc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> AW's 1981-87 Opening: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/m446umzSExQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> AW's 1987-96 Opening: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ej0sVysxMpA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> GL's 1985-90 Opening (after the show switched to a rock version of "My Guiding Light"): <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o3vcWZSA9lM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> (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: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LO-8rCrJHTw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> SFT's Circa 1974-81 Opening: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WWVS2-LFLy8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 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: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x9Zp8a_kKEM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
