tv_universe. Two fanmixes of theme songs from the 60s and 70s—one with just instrumental, one with lyrics.
I could have done this forever. When you talk to me about television and “Remember When?” my first memory is the theme songs. I so miss the days when:
--Everyone watched TV together and at the same time (so no skipping through the credits)
--The Theme Song and credits were at the beginning of the show; no cold opens! I sometimes turn on a show 20 minutes through and they are still blipping up the credits over the action!
--The Theme Songs were instantly recognizable. You’d hear the first few notes from the kitchen and be all “Oh! It’s on!”
--For some, and especially comedies, they had the concept that you could tell from the first minute or so, whether through words or images, exactly what the show was all about. Theme, characters, tone, storyline. Just check these out to see what I mean.
( Song Links and some lyrics and bonus tracks! )
