I agree that "Welcome Back" is an excellent choice.  I also liked the theme from Happy Days by Pratt & McClain.

Hi Hairy, are you the same Hairy Hippie Busker from Catstevens.com?  How are you?

Okay, when I was 15 I loved the theme from "The Rockford Files", I even copied it off of the radio.  And I also thought the theme from "Hawaii 5-O" was cool.  Oh Hairy, we performed "Welcome Back" in chior in highschool.

Oh, did anyone notice that there were two versions of "The Partridge Family" themesong?  This is often overlooked on  the syndicated releases of the show.  They use the 'come on get happy' lyrics rather than the original, 'when we're singing' lyrics.

God, am I stuck in a nostalgic mode or am I crazy.... don't answer that...I know the answer. :P

Love,
A

Tell Hairy that if he feels uncomfortable at Cat.com he can always come to Peacetrainn.com or Majicat.com.  

Oh yes, Vivian, I got the links fixed so the site is easy to access now.

Hey, Hairy, Majicat is awesome if you haven't joined Christine's new message forum.  And she runs a tight ship.

Love,
A

My favorite '70s TeeVee theme is Charlie's Angels, the ultimate disco-drama instrumental!  It bears some resemblance to Van McCoy's, The Hustle.

My favorite theme songs are:
Welcome Back, Kotter
Green Acres
Hawaii 5-O
Love Boat
Batman

I agree with you on this song. That used to be an old boyfriend and my song. I can't help think of him when I hear the song now.

Yeah, Three's Company- for some reason the line "come and dance on our floor" struck me as goofy!  But it was a goofy show all around!

Oh yeah, one of my fave themes to one of my fave shows!  It's actually called "The Streetbeater," by Quincy Jones.

Let Norman Lear and Jeanne Stapleton be forever unforgiven for Edith Bunker singing Those Were the Days.  It's supposed to sound strident, and it does!  Yeeeesh!
:P
