This article really got me thinking and there truly are no good theme songs anymore. No catchy little tunes that get stuck in your head all day, that you notice yourself singing when you didn't even realize you were. In fact, many shows no longer have songs with lyrics at all; instrumental tracks have become the new trend. Without those informative and memorable lyrics how are we supposed to know what the show we are sitting down to watch is about?
With "Thank You for Being a Friend" we knew the Golden Girls was focused on a group of best friends. "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" told us exactly what kind of bar Cheers was for its patrons.
Those two are my personal favorite sitcom theme songs, but one that didn't make the list which shocked me is the classic, "Love Is All Around," which opened each episode of the Mary Tyler Moore song. (Just writing the name of it has that damn tune playing in my head on repeat: "you're gonna make it after all.....").
