Not really a theme song but was probably more identified with the show then the actual theme
Got a lot of laughs from this one http://youtube.com/watch?v=4FNIEn5CTyM |

Okey dokey,
So none of you were gutsy enough to come out upfront with it, but I'm pretty sure this one was amongst your REAL all-time favourites; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8MWdNG3wsw This post has been edited by Hellfighter: 04/22/08 5:29am --------------------   |

While that is a beautiful song, I prefer this version.

QUOTE(Bargod @ 04/21/08 9:26am) LOL I remember practicing the Re-Run Dance while watching that show. You have to admit, for a big fat guy he was pretty light on his feet http://youtube.com/watch?v=_2rDgZWqvhY The original dancing with the stars. |

Glad everyone got a kick out of the topic.
Funny note about All in the Family. I saw Jean Stapleton ( Archie's Wife ) on some kind of variety show. Someone mentioned how they loved the way she sang the theme. They asked something along the lines if she had to practice to sing that bad. She just looked at them for a second, then replied, "Nope, thats my real singing voice" Then to prove it she sang the musical scale, it was like nails on a chalkboard. LOL |

Blitz I'm a huge sanford and son fan as well.....
I like some of the instrumentals... like MASH and A-Team I love it when a plan comes together! --------------------  Give a man a match and he's warm for a min. Set him on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. |

I have thought about this in the past and this seems like an appropriate place to bring it up...
I've always found it odd how some of the funniest comedy shows have had really mellow theme songs. First off, the classic intro "Suicide is Painless", for MASH Taxi Cheers Moonlighting I'm sure there are more, but those always stick out in my mind. -------------------- |

This is an outstanding topic, Robert!
I've really enjoyed the memories. My only problem was with a couple of the shows that HF and CoI posted, I couldn't detect an accent.  I'm amazed that no one came up with one of the most memorable theme songs, a sound that defined a decade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miWfaUPGG88 |

I've always wondered if they used the instrumental version of "Suicide is painless" on the show because the lyrics were considered unsuitable for network TV. It was a great show, I'm proud to admit I cried like a baby at the end of the last show.
I can still picture Hawkeye and B.J. trying to say goodbye but not being able to do it. Then Hawkeye getting in the helicopter, lifting off to see the message B.J. left by spelling out Goodbye in white rocks on the hill of the heli-pad Just thinking about it almost makes me need a tissue. |

 A little triva I just ran across. * Robert Altman who directed the original movie made $70,000, while his son who wrote the lyrics for the theme made almost $1,000,000 in royalties from the song * This was the most watched episode in TV history. * Commercial time during the finale cost more than during the super bowl that year. |
