Automan, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Matt Houston, Sledge Hammer! and so many more! And that's not even including cartoons! Now we have so many streaming services and not nearly enough theme songs!
will there be a part 2?
@@BarbarellaAlpha Maybe, depending on how much interest there will be.
@@somerandomguy_musicAre there any theme songs that you are prohibited from posting/including (with audio) like with your other compilations where the artist don't want their music shared, even if it's fair use?
What about Quantum Leap??
Looking back you realize how lucky we were to be kids in the 80’s especially without the burden of social media. So much freedom and such simpler times it was a childhood like no other!
that's right.
The 80's were such a great time!
We were the last generation of "feral" kids. We played without supervision, were gone to unknown locales for hours at a time and no one even thought about it! We pedaled a bicycle to everywhere we wanted to go and if you couldn't do that, you had to stay home. The only boundaries were, state with whom you are planning to be, where you will be going and be home before dark. Everything else was fair game.
@@InformationIsTheEdge When our kids would ask what it was like when we were kids we told them we were basically raised by wolves 😂
Social media is optional. I opted out years ago and in most of it's existence even when i had some accounts.
한국인 소년.소녀들도 그 시절 미국 드라마로 행복했습니다
1984: I can’t wait to see what the future will be like 40 years from now!
2024: I wish it was the 80s again!
That’s me
Exactly my thoughts. The early 2020s have sucked big time
Pretty much. A shame I can’t go back in time and warn them…
@@princessmarlena1359 They wouldn't listen to you, they failed to see the warning signs of what was ahead you would be committed to an institution for the mentally disabled and only given your freedom back in the late 2010's now being completely cooked out of your head by the years of being locked away "for your own good".
Take down the surveillance can't you?
Damn I miss the 80’s so much, no reality shows, no internet, no smartphones or social media you could just enjoy a day or evening without distractions!❤
❤❤❤
I need to get ahold of someone, I’ll just use my rotary phone and that’s no joke either, lol.
I USED TO WATCH ALL THESE TV SHOWS AS A KID RELIGIOUSLY !!! REAL CLASSIC TV !!!! I REALLY MISS THE 80'S
Amen... The good ol days!
Yup
As a 54 year old, I wish I could go back 40 years and just stay there. These TV themes are so beautiful to hear again. Great compilation, thank you for sharing as this brings nothing but good memories. ❤
Good to know I'm not the only one that wants to go back to the 80's and stay there!
Same here!
Im with you 100%
Same here….grew up in the 80’s ! These shows bring back so many memories. I always tell my daughter growing up in the 80’s was the best ! 😀
Same age .. same sentiments.
Growing up in the 80's was a magical time.
100% I miss it
@@cage1138 As do I! Still, I thank God that I got to experience it all the first time.
We can only appreciate this:)❤
Oh it was the best😊
Being that I came on the scene in Jan of 71, I totally agree. I loved the 80's.
30 minutes feeling 30 years younger... PRICELESS. ❤
Yes I agree PRICELESS❤
My child hood in a blink of an eye.....
Who found the mother in ALF more attractive than the daughter? 😉
agree❤
@@Elitist20 😅😅
Damn, when the Airwolf theme kicks in, I’m no longer 42 but 8 years old, sitting on the floor and singing along with the only tv set we had in my parents’ house. No shit going on, no cell phones, not even a remote control for the tv! Just fun!
For me it's The A Team. Great memories man.
I love it when a plan comes together.@@lynettemokgano9009
we had a remote, wired to the tv, lol
Watched some of Airwolf the other year. Its utterly terrible. However for a kid of that time, it was great. Preffered A-Team and Knight Rider of course though.
Preferred is the correct spelling.@@shugaroony
The 80s is a drug that you can never OD on but only makes you feel more alive.
The 80s were amazing compared to today..
70s was the start 80s was the best 90s was the evolution after that it went downhill with shows
@@theoneaboveall6768 agreed 💯
I couldn't agree more, the 80s was by far the best decade ever.
So true
Truth
We had an awesome childhood. ❤ The 80s had the best tv series', the best movies, and best music of our generation. ❤
By far.
Eh. 90s > 80s I grew up in both and 90s rule easily
Not really
@@ShifuCareagaI grew up in both and I disagree but it’s the beauty of life, we can agree to disagree 😊
@@ShifuCareagaAgree 90's were the best by far.
My God, that hurts so much. That these times are gone forever and will never return. I Miss my childhood, my mum and my friends, to play with them with the wonderful 80s toys Masters of the Universe and She-Ra, Care Bears and Rainbow Brite, to sit after bath with my cocoa to watch all of these wonderful Series. 😢
❤
I want to travel back to the 80s and stay forever..
The 80s and 90s were such an amazing time
It honestly broke my heart and sent a tear down my cheek to see Bruce Willis in the opening, knowing how he is now and what he and his family have facing them in the future. Blessings Bruce, to you and your family.
😞😓😞
Me too
I slowly lost my beloved mum to this awful disease and my heart goes out to anyone who is losing their loved ones too 😰😞😨
Same 😢
Yeah he's definitely is a legend and his name was/is household
Same, he looked so young.
Ikr. Bruce Willis is one of my favorite actors and I used to watch Moonlighting religiously.
So glad I grew up in the 80s NOTHING compares to these iconic openings! They were like a “call” to rush to the TV. Some of my best memories are quickly finishing the dishes with my brothers so we could watch things like Hazzard, A team, ALF, Simon & Simon etc
Me too
You had to get your timing right!
When the ads hit you sprinted for the toilet, worried you'd miss a second or two...
Getting the kettle on, the coffees ready.. man... that was life!
indeed, no time shifting back in the days. This is when the good old VCR was being handy.
Absolutamente de acuerdo, fue un honor haber pertenecido a esa época, cuando todo era más sano, más tranquilo y más divertido, era muy emocionante apurarnos para ver todas esas series y películas, pero lo mejor de todo, es que aquí estamos todavía para recordar aquellos tiempos, y decir que estuvimos ahí.
@@zorglub20770 but in the 80s VCR were still quite expensive, especially the early 80s , from 1985 they became affordable, but we didn't get one until 1990 or so
That Moonlighting opener was fantastic and heart breaking. Prayers with Bruce.
Totally. 💔
So sad 🙏
My mum died of the same type of dementia. She was given the same prognosis as Bruce but outlived it by 16 years thanks to the food supplements I gave her (Turmeric, CBD, Coconut oil and others)
What happened to Bruce?
They hated each other as well. Willis has onset dementia now.
There is more entertainment value in one night of 80’s TV than in the entirety of television since 2000.
Not really. It's just the same.
The early to mid 2000s had some decent TV shows and even movies. The Office for one, Lord of the Rings for another. After 2010 everything went straight down hill though. There are a few hidden gems. Now in 2024, entertainment is abysmal
@@davyboy9397 There are still some good ones, always.
Totally agree, it was far more entertaining than now, with multiple channels, and I remember how great is was having so many shows from the US here in the UK.
@@suzy6947 It's just the same.
Miss the 80’s. What a time to be alive.
So do i
Knight Rider always puts a smile on my face 😄
A series might only last a season or two, but a great theme song lives forever
I wish we could go back to the 80s, and 90s .. It was the best time ever to grow up and have nothing to worry about! The only thing you could worry about then was if you missed an episode of your favoriete tv show! Best days ever!❤️
Absolutely. Can someone invent time travel already since we’ve seen it in so many movies?
I was a teenager in the 1980s . The Movies , sitcoms, music , and cars / trucks make it one of the best decades of my life time
I was in my late teens and early to mid 20s in the ‘80s, but I remember mostly of these great themes.
You forgot Toys too :D
Mine too
True
God, I still have most of these stuck in my head from a childhood spent in front of the TV in the 80s.
this is probably why we can't remember new phone numbers. our brains are cluttered with 80s theme show song lyrics. and music lyrics in general too
The 1980's had the best shows and the best theme songs.
52 years old and these are so iconic! They don't make them like these anymore!
Seeing Bruce with Sybil brings home how sad it is that his health has failed him at such a premature age. Thanks for countless years of TV and Movie memories ❤
That Guy was a jerk he is getting what he deserves
Moonlighting ❣young Bruce Willis was amazing on that show, comedy, action, drama, singing, romance, he did it all.
Hair. Lol
0:40 damn it, how could they synchronize their fast talking without even slipping.... 🤣
Hart 2 Hart ❤❤
I miss the 80s so bad.
Me too!!!!
@@cage1138Me three!
Me four!!
I would give almost anything to go back in time, n stay there.
@@co6308 I can certainly understand and empathize with that desire!
Dear 1980s... how i long for you again, and miss the good times we had. Todays world has turned to custard and the people are more evil than before. Miss you guys. Kiwi here, and when I heard cheers intro, my dad would always say, Goodnight. You have school in the morning. It came on at 8.30pm. And 8.15am the next morning, we had to be out of the house and walking to school. Man I miss them days.
Aussie here, and I miss it so much. I haven't been home since 2012. I miss "Home and Away". We had about five channels, one of which was Mandarin half the time.
You right people are more evil than B4 it's the end of Time
People are just as evil. We're just paying more attention.
Those days were magic compared to today. Now society is going to hell in a handbasket
@@user-cr8dq7sc6h AIDS was truly magical.
Born in 74 and grew up watching many of these shows with my family. They were really wonderful times. So much freedom and happiness. Pity my favourite of the lot was cut short here - Magnum P.I. what a show. Thank God I grew up in the 80s ❤❤❤
I'm 9 years older than you but I have the same sentiments. 3 networks, family times, no social media, kids played outside....I miss it terribly.
Born in 77 here. We were so lucky to have the 80s-90s. I talk to people born after 9/11. I feel bad for them. God help us and this nation
Yeah man, '72 here and Magnum PI was my favorite too, awesome show.
Another 74 baby here! I was an A-team theme fan, but Magnum was also a classic. And Knightrider. And Cheers. Oh and Hill Street Blues was the first thing I learnt on piano. Come to think of it, everything in the 80s was a classic. I know, I know, I'm biased...
More freedom? Bizarre thing to say, but Americans do seem weirdly obsessed with freedom despite having way less than civilised countries.
Omg! The nostalgia! Take me back to my childhood when life was carefree and all I had to worry about was school and coming home to watch TV!
I'm 41 yrs old and this was my childhood.... what a great time the 1980's were 😊
Same Age Here, so 💯 true
❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇲🇿🇦🇨🇦🇩🇪🇳🇱🇫🇮🇦🇺🇨🇵🇧🇪🇬🇧
My favorite was Knight Rider and the A Team, also watched Saturday WWF wrestling, great times.
46, and this was my childhood as well over in Europe. Goddamn were some of these series cheesy, but so good compared to the crap we get these days.
@@gfimadcat I'M SOUTH AFRICAN, A FEW YEARS OLDER AND WAS MY 1990S AS WELL 👍🇿🇦🇬🇧
I hated my 80s life as a teenager, but I loved the 80s as a decade. No other time had so much good music, good movies, good television, and freedom. Sure there were societal problems and political disagreements, but the majority of people had a sense of community and nieghborly cohesion.
I was born in 1977, so very much a child of the 80’s. The tv we had as kids was brilliant. Only 4 Channels. Amazing theme tunes. Nothing like this today. 1984 was 40 years ago! I pity today’s children. They will never experienced these special times. Obviously we tend to look through Rose tinted spectacles, but I’d go back in a heartbeat.
Same born in ‘77 miss those days
I was born in 1975, I know what you mean!
You and about a million others!
💯 well said 👏 👍 👌 🙌 💯
God, i feel like crying ....so grateful to have been little in this decade....the 80s were truly special for entertainment
you can cry. it's okay.
"believe it or not, I'm walking on air!" omg the feels man.
Long time ago, was my ringtone...
I love that theme it’s stuck in my head.
What about The Greatest American Hero? Or was that ‘90s?
The series is available in YT.
Honestly I don’t remember that show but I ironically remembered the theme songs. It seems like a good theme song was critical back then. Maybe even helped people tune in….just for the song.
People claim we only want to go back is to be young again. It is so much more than just being young again. I want to experience it like it was all new again. If you didnt live it you will never understand. "Be carefull out there"
The music,movies,clothes,television shows and enough technology for the times.
These shows can show Strong and Smart Women without duming down and demonizing Men. We Need Tv shows like these in Current Day.
Absolutely. Almost every modern show is nothing but identity politics propaganda
Well said
The 80s was the golden age of television 📺 80s Rock so good.
It’s easy to say we never knew how good we had it, but even back then we knew it was awesome TV
Indeed. I genuinely got excited. These days I hardly watch series anymore because it's just "mm ok let me put my feet up and chill". I feel quite indifferent about modern TV programs.
Man, I miss the 80s. Im so grateful to have been a kid back then. Best tv shows, best movies, best music, no social media, Mtv actually played music videos, and we played outside and had a BALL. Best time to be alive, honestly.
Knew where your friends were by the bikes in the yards, hone when street lights on, and Saturday Morning cartoons. I so miss the 80s; wonderful time to grow up
Those were the best years ever, the eighties 80s. I miss them a lot. Life was so simple and good compared to now 2024. ❤❤
TV shows were better than today's. 😊♥️
I’m assuming like me you a were a kid then and it seemed simpler, lol the Cold War of the 80’s presented an existential threat to mankind, we were just lucky to be kids and not understand what was going on lol
The 80s will live forever as long as I remember it.
And I will remember it.
Forever.
Me too!
The theme to Dallas still rocks
Totally agree 👍 I live 45 mins from Dallas
@@Antonio-nc2be 👍
Hill Street Blues....brings tears to my eyes....never have i seen such a life experience on screen....still gets me, when i was 12 years old....the intro....dear lord... Councillor and Pizzaman....will never ever forget it..
This takes me back to such a beautiful simple time.... growing up in the 80s - life was so much simpler ❤
The 80's were the decade of iconic TV themes and openings, rivalled only by the 90's. Thanks for compiling them all together in this half hour montage, for our viewing pleasure! 🥰
You're joking nothing can rival the 1980s not even the 1990s the 90s had some good shows but nothing like 80s shows
Indeed ❤
that's Lee singing the Fall Guy
@@derykhymer7306 Nothing could rival the 1980s. Besides the 1970s and 1960s.
@@bigneiltoothe 60s and 70s sucked only the 50s can rival the 80s
I like the simple beauty and purity of those times.
💯 agree
Spot on
So many classic themes, brings tears to my eyes.
Oh my lord, the nostalgia slammed into me like a tidal wave lol. I'm 48 and still remember all of these. And I also still remember some others not on the list like Tales of the Gold Monkey, Wizards and Warriors, LA Law. Good times.
Thank God I was a kid in the 80s. I couldn't imagine growing up in this sick world.
Everyone is growing up dude. It dosent magically stop when your balls drop.
I haven't seen any of the lefty kids grow up, nor the adults lol@@killbotone6210
Ha! Ha! Ha1 That's exactly what people were saying about the world in the 80's (i.e. it's a "sick world"). Also, "the 80's generation was the most selfish, materialistic one". Yup...heard it all the time.
You can't even compare the 80's to nowadays. Social Media has bred generations of morons with delusions of importance without earning anything. In turn these people have zero sense of conscience. I suspect you weren't even born in the 80's and if you were then it's far more likely you were born on the back end of it so you wouldn't have really experienced it.. Not saying it was perfect but it was less complicated and manipulative. Nowadays kids of all ages have access to adult movies through their tech and media, which has hastened the decline of any morality, standards or compassion. They view that as how life is and treat people with the same devaluation. The incessant need for instant gratification from _clicks_ & _Friending_ numbers has only fueled mental breaks. People being unable to accept that the things they post on social media are not as important as they think. How not everybody will like what they say or do. How social decline is prevented when an individual starts tacking stock and responsibility for what they say and post and stops the cycle. Unable to form meaningful relationships because of a lack of empathy for anyone else. It is all about the _me me me_ and _now now now_ . People not doing their due diligence in things such as current affairs. Everything is easy with the click of a button and everyone has an opinion but people will seldom bother to go to or past page 30+ to check independent sources and because of that they view sites like Wikipedia as some sort of bastion of truth which further facilitates a low brain function and makes them far more pliable to be manipulated and controlled. To measure the bad things of that time with the bad things of today is quite a massive leap.@@jenniferwilcox9759

Nothing can top whats happening in today’s world, with incredibly vain, backward and narcissistic ppl ever created…from lip injections, hair extensions to fake eyelashes and eyebrows. There’s no natural beauty to be seen, nobody knows what gender they are while they can’t even tell you what a women is. Truth is inverted,lies are pushed forward by ppl who have become self absorbed, fake and increasingly ignorant.
Here in Portugal, we watch the majority of all these shows. Knight Rider, MacGyver, A-team, Dukes of Hazzard, Cheers, Moonlighting, Miami Vice are still remember by my generation (i was born in 78) untill today. All in the Family, Maude, Galatica, are also shows that we love back then.
...and let's not forget, Tv Rural !
@@lino222 com o grande Sousa Veloso 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Hey born in 78 also
I just hit play and continued working... THIS IS A TIMEMACHINE TO MY CHILDHOOD!!!
Grew up in the 80s and watched most of these shows. Man, hearing these theme songs brings such strong feelings of nostalgia. No internet, cell phones, or social media. Played outside all day. If I had a time machine I'd go back and experience it all over again.
The 80s always surpassing these absurd times 😊
Dallas was THE opening. And it still is.
And it's still memorable If they announced Patrick Duffy joining one of sixty zillion Yellowstone spinoffs I'd happily make it appointment TV again
I wish they would have the one with the original cast.
And Dynasty.
The original version from season one is the coolest one.
Dynasty was a great opening too. Loved the music.
Wow… the nostalgia here is off the charts
If i could turn back time...80s were great...thx for all the memories...❤❤❤
"I I could turn back time I'd find a way, to go back to the 80's and I'd stay!"
Not only were the shows awesome but the titles are so recognised.
80’s,, golden times!!!!!!
We got a lot of these translated into Spanish… thanks for that era now long gone… it was such a good time and personally I didn’t know how truly good were those times. Now in 2024 I never thought things would turn out to be the way they are now. Thankfully I did live the 80’s…
Feeling the 80 90 in my stomach ❤️💯🎬👍😎
Full House I used to watch during my lunch time about fifteen years ago and it was very popular in Brazil. But MacGyver was a real fever in Brazil in the 80’s and 90’s. It was such a success that, even nowadays, when a guy is smart enough to solve problems quickly, people call him MacGyver. Both TV shows was a huge success in Brazil and they are still remembered.
You cannot beat that Airwolf theme.
Except with Knight Rider
Or _V_ :D
Hands down the best
I really liked Magnum P.I. and Miami Vice
Perfectly synched with the intermittent flashing of engineering schematics.
Well, that was 36 minutes of well spent nostalgia fuel! Thanks! 😊
Great Memories of growing in The 80s. Like Hart To Hart was the last thing I watched every single Sunday night before bed ready for school in the morning. V One of if not the best mini series on TV ever. Here in The UK I don't ever remember seeing 21 Jump Street or Full House on our TV 🤔 I've always loved TV Themes over the years. So thanks For the huge flashback 😎📺
Jump street was definitely on sky tv in about 1988. Full house was on somewhere, because I recall seeing some episodes.
80's was the best decade.
the good tv shows with the very nice machines
Not forgetting Chips. Here in the UK, we only had 4 channels until 1997, so to watch all these American shows we always got them on a Saturday. Dukes of Hazard was always on Channel 1, so if the others were on at the same time, which were always ITV (channel 3), then put came the VHS recorder and we taped it. I'm now 49 years old and i told my 18 year old daughter how primitive and simple we lived tech wise and she thinks it's the stone age but the 80s rocked. Good times.
Same in Australia. We had about five channels until the nineties. I remember being stuck to the television when "Home and Away" came on. And we had Cosby (yuck), Who's the Boss?, Night Court, Coronation Street, Magnum P.I., etc. Super random programmes at odd hours. I moved to California when I was fifteen, and I was shocked by the number of television channels there are in America. And now, there are so many more channels and streaming services, 95 percent of which are crap.
It's funny to me that Brits enjoyed The Dukes of Hazzard...meanwhile here in America i was 12 years old in 1988 and was watching Steptoe and Son and Doctor Who on PBS 8 thinking that they were the greatest shows ever 😂❤
Well, Chips was in fact from the late 70’s
@@robertoaguiar8082 yes it was but I didn't watch it until about 1981 and sure America would have had it aired before we did here in UK.
Greetings from Turkey. We grew up in the 80's and 90's generation and we miss those days very much. After 2000 is a disaster for the whole world. We, like you, grew up with these TV series... ❤️I think why do we miss the pre-90's? It should be a subject of research. The new generation will never have these feelings. He won't understand 😞
👍
Agree 👍 🤝
TV will never again be as enjoyable as it was in the 70s and 80s.
My personal favourite was Taxi, which is missing from this list, although technically it started in the 70s, it was still going in the early 80s.
Great show 👏 👍
How lucky we were to have grown up in the 80's. I miss those days.
Interesting how these shows reflect the generally positive, upbeat and hopeful 80s after very difficult 70s in the US
Every product reflects it’s time.
Kiwi here, New Zealand. They also shaped our lives as well as English comedies of the 70s and 80s. We too saw the world change and now I Long for it back. Now 47, I live on YT old programs. Waltons, the dukes, anything of the by gone era.
Even for just a few moments.
Take care.
We made it.
@@MaidenNZ76 I’m 52 so I get it but I do enjoy a lot of new and recent shows, especially when CGI is used well it can take us to remarkable places like GoT or Battlestar Galactica, though there is something nice about old shows and everything you see onscreen is real

Thank you so much for taking me back to my youth. So much better than having instant access streaming, and social media. You had to be physically present on any given night to enjoy entertainment. Today’s youth will never understand this.
Remember Saturday morning cartoons?
just like the music, todays crap doesn't even come close to what we had back then. Sure makes me nostalgic and homesick for the good old days.
Started with one of the best. Loved Maddie and David. Moonlighting was fantastic. RIP Al Jarreau
Nothing like those days where you're sitting there in your pajamas as a kid without a care in the world hearing these shows come on as you have your family in the living room and you're in your protected bubble of peace and Bliss and innocence of your childhood… 😌 Ohh please take me back home…. 😩🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️ #ChildOfThe80's
Well written!
5:35 The Sax work for the Cagney and Lacey intro is outstanding! Born in 75 so I remember a lot of these themes. But I didn't become a musician until the '90s. Now I'm listening and I can really appreciate how killing that is😊
The 80s were the best decade to be a teenager.......plus no cooking, renovating, or bimbo big brother shows
or Housewives or Fatassdashians or My 600 Pound Ass is Growing...
But there were cooking and home shows in the 80s:, just on PBS. Cooking shows from Julia Child, Martin Yan, and Justin Wilson, etc., and home renovation shows like Bob Vila’s This Old House and Dean Johnson’s Hometime.
I remember feeling excited and exhilarated when the opening titles would play! It was a wonderful time to grow up. They don't make them like this anymore.
They don't make theme songs at all any more. 😞 Why waste precious airtime on music and cast members' names when they can get right to the plot?
My brother whose in his 50s now loved watching Falcon Crest, the star Jane Wyman was the ex wife of the President at the time in the 1980s Ronald Reagan.
It was also because you only got to see it right then, at that exact time, or miss a week. (only people with VCRs could record it, but not many did that for random series) my parents didn't own a VCR until the nineties
They do not.
@trevorcarey3997 Same here.
And that is my childhood. What a blast from the past.
Awesome time to be a kid, wasn't it?
Miami Vice was killing it. The '90's show in the '80's.
the amount of top notch actors that went through that serie is impressive too.
Hill Street Blues was way ahead of its time.
Listening to that Alf intro makes me so melancholic, I cant even tell you...
Imagine the TV intros from now being shared in 30 years time. The video will be a minute long.
And literally 0 views.
Omg..Hart to Hart was my favorite. Used to watch it every single week. I'm almost in tears longing for the 80s again.😢

Bring back so many memories. I miss the 80s
I was a teen of the 80s and grew up watching American shows in Singapore. I loved Remington Steele!! The chemistry between Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist was hot! I also loved the A-Team, Knight Rider and V!!!
I concur with everything you said about Remington Steele & Stephanie Zimbalist.
Part 2, please!!!!
So many more 80s shows
My boyfriend and I spent the better part of an hour naming 80's shows that could make up a part 2.

バッカみたい!出直したら、恥ずかしい🥹😄😆🤣🤣🤣😋🥺🤨😮💨🤗
This video makes me realize that I watched waaayyy too much TV growing up. I knew every show here, even the ones I didn’t watch. 😅 Damn it was great growing up in the 80’s. It really sux that we can’t travel back in time 😢
80s were freaking awesome all these tunes are iconic, hard to believe how dead TV has become in the 2020s really depressing actually.
Ok. This needs to be a series. All decades, multiple installments per decade.
Phenomenal idea for a video. The nostalgia hit me so hard. Especially Cheers. Especially Cheers.
i second this notion!
And my bow!
I mean I third this!
And Hill Street Blues. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I've been living in the same neighbourhood of a big city for over 30 years now. Everyone around here knows everyone else. In my neighbourhood, it's all about the cafe culture. When I walk into a cafe where everyone does indeed know my name, I sometimes think of the Cheers theme.
The Cheers theme song always gets to me...probably my favorite.
The Golden Girls theme still at number 1 for me!! They were funny,RIP Blanch, Dorothy, Ma, & Rose!!
Airwolf will always be the number one opening theme for me.
As soon as the 21 was sprayed on the screen, my jaw dropped and i was shocked at how long its been since I've heard that song: literally over 30 years ago. Wow. I was a kid in the 80s and k binged on all these TV shows. 😁 The A Team was among my favorite, and so was MacGyver. Oh yeah, CHEERS! 😁 Dukes of Hazard! Probably one of thd few country songs I loved! 🤣
This brought back so many childhood memories. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
That's the 80's for you!! It can't get any better than this!! LOVE THE 80's!!
❤❤❤
Somebody should make an album of the these awesome and iconic 80s TV show theme songs! Some of these are bangers and ingrained in our brains!
There are several. I have one on cassette tape. 😅
I am 48 now. These are all the series i watched during my childhood in ‘80 in Indonesia. My favorite was Mc Gyver. Now I realize that American culture actually was very strong then, but now not even one single American series in our TV channels, all replaced by local programs.
You're not missing anything, believe me. American T.V. is virtually all worthless now.
O man the 80s were a great time to grow up as a kid, I used to watch a lot of these shows happy times
🎶 Fame! I'm gonna live forever! 🎶
V mini series my fave show ever. Some of the best shows made in the 80s. Glad I lived it
V was awesome!
did any theme of any show in history get you as pumped as Miami Vice? that show set a fashion trend, no show ever did that. greatest show ever in so many ways people dont even realize, watch a Doc on it sometime. The music, the sets, the wardrobe, the storyline, all innovation and trailblazing. next comes Airwolf, MagumPI, KnightRider. But I can remember as a kid, Just the open to Maimi Vice sent adrenaline rushing through my body.
