050 Just Sit Right Back and Hear Our Favorite TV Theme Songs

In this nostalgic episode, we take a break from discussing a single TV show or movie and dive into one of our favorite pop culture topics: classic TV theme songs.

From catchy singalongs to iconic instrumentals, we explore the television themes that instantly transport us back to childhood — and somehow still live rent-free in our brains decades later.

We talk about:

• Why TV theme songs were such a huge part of growing up in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s
• The difference between lyrical themes and instrumental classics
• Shows where the stars actually sang the theme songs
• Theme songs that became legitimate radio hits
• Why modern TV shows seem to have abandoned memorable opening songs
• Rolling Stone’s picks for the greatest TV theme songs of all time
• And why “Charles in Charge” got stuck in our heads all over again

Along the way, we revisit some unforgettable TV themes from:

• Gilligan’s Island
• The Brady Bunch
• Green Acres
• Welcome Back, Kotter
• Happy Days
• The Jeffersons
• Good Times
• Moonlighting
• The Greatest American Hero
• Friends
• The Monkees
• The Love Boat
• Hawaii Five-O
• Frasier
• The Big Bang Theory
• The Facts of Life
• The Mary Tyler Moore Show
• The Addams Family
  …and many more.

Plus, Michelle puts Cherie's TV theme song memory to the test with a trivia quiz featuring famous lyrics from classic television shows.

Did she survive the challenge? Mostly. 😂
