I wasn't really a fan of either shows, but I did like their theme songs.

I already know what else will be posted in this thread, so I'll throw in some different ones.  The first one is tacky campy crap that I love And it will be stuck in everyone's head.
Angie Love American Style Mary Tyler Moore Show - my favorite from the seasone one opening. She later asked them to take out the scene of her wearing a fur coat I also love the Bob Newhart Show theme, but couldn't find it on the tube. This last one is actually 1980, but I've been looking for a reason to post it lately.

Starsky and Hutch by far. Reason being the show was on from 1975-1979 and the theme was changed every season which is really rare, usually the show just changes the clips, this them got a different take each year. And while we are at it, can we forget that LOUSY remake movie, WTF was with that? what garbage, they turned a Drama into a comedy like a "dumb and dumber".

Sanford And Son theme is awesome!! Quincy Jones hot damn!
The funky-ass instrumentation & production. So cool. This is a link to the full song (in stereo too!) http://www.chewymusic.com...andson.mp3 Check out all the shit that is going on in this song. I miss this funky 70's shit man! "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"
