TV Theme Songs
I'm not going to lie... this what I do in my spare time sometimes. People think I'm nuts for liking old school TV shows and for listening to their intros repeatedly. Yet, I strongly believe that a theme song can make or break a show because of the tone it sets for the series. I've downloaded quite a few of these songs onto my iPod over the last few weeks. I still can't get "Cheers" and "The Wonder Years" out of my head. The '80s version of "Swinging on a Star" is quite a hoot, and no matter how many times I listen to the opening of "The Hogan Family," I still think it's a drama. If there's one song that really stands out it's the opening from "Life Goes On": the cast's rendition of the Beatles song of the same name. Actually, I HIGHLY recommend that everyone watch this show; it's beyond realistic and so well done; I watched it almost everyday at my internship last summer and nearly cried every time. They just don't make TV shows like they used to.
