The Wonder Years. Remember when there was that rumor going around middle school that Marilyn Manson played Paul, Kevin’s best friend? That was a weird rumor. This, is a rad theme song though.

This is actually my favorite theme song of all time. That’s right, I admit it. And you know what? Maybe (okay, is) it’s actually my all-time favorite childhood show of all time. Hey, that’s right. Deal with it. You can’t take that away from me. So what, I had a talking Michelle doll?
My younger sister once asked me if I moved to San Francisco just because of Full House. The answer is mostly no…
Adventures in Great Theme Songs
Posted in adventures in theme songs with tags 80's television, buddy, charles in charge, classic television, i want charles in charge of me, mannies, scott baio, wacky nannies on June 27, 2009 by thedithToday brings us the new boy in then neighborhood, who lives downstairs from me…Charles in Charge. In the late 80’s/early 90’s, America couldn’t get enough of shows about the hijinx that ensue when wacky nannies live with spoiled children and their uptight parents, like they’re one of the family. (see: Who’s the Boss, The Nanny). Charles in Charge has the best theme song of all these. Sorry, Danza…
Adventures in Great Theme Songs
Posted in adventures in theme songs, soundtrack to your life with tags brothers with the same name, hey sandy, nickelodeon, redheads, the 90's, the adventures of pete and pete, the original fire crotches on June 24, 2009 by thedithToday’s Adventures in Great Theme Songs brought to you by everyone’s favorite redheaded, same name brothers, Big Pete and Little Pete — aka The Adventures of Pete and Pete. I’ll admit, this show was weird, sometimes gross, and took me a really long time to like. On the plus side, it had a really rockin’ theme song that still holds up as a legit song on its own today.
Soundtrack to Your Life
Posted in adventures in theme songs with tags countdowns, fresh prince of bel-air, house, massive attack, nostalgia, rad things, television, the office, the rembrandts, tributes, tv theme songs, who's the boss on June 23, 2009 by thedithRemember the days when a tv show’s theme song was almost as important to a show as its plot points? A theme song could make or break a show. I mean, who doesn’t love (and know all the words to) the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air‘s theme song? Remember The Rembrandts? Yeah, me neither, but I’m sure you remember their one-hit wonder, “I’ll Be There For You” from Friends, which even came out as a single, and was THE coolest music video of 1994. Except, watching it today, it’s kind of like, Perry, tune it down a notch, okay? Seriously, dude, just chill the beat…
These days, we’re suffering from a paucity of good theme songs. Instrumental openers like the themes from The Office and House (Massive Attack, as your opening theme song? How sweet is that?) are nice and all, but sometimes you want a little sing-a-long with your opening montage.
So, I’m gonna count down some of my favorites, in no particular order. How many theme songs are on this count down? Uh, I don’t know. How ever many I want, sheesh! Today, let’s start with Who’s the Boss. Hit it, Danza:
