I think it did. Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, All That, Kenan and Kel (just to name a few) a really catchy

No, the 80's had better themes for the TV shows, such as:

The A Team
Dallas
Blockbusters
Knot's Landing
Dukes of Hazzard

Hey Philip you forgot to mention the theme song from 21 Jump Street... that was quite catchy

or the 70s with
Alice
Maude
Good Times
Jeffersons
One Day at a Time
Happy Days
Laverne & Shirley
Facts of Life
Diff'rent Strokes


and the 60s with
Green Acres
Mr Ed
The Adams Family
Car 54 Where Are You
and of course
The Monkees
The Brady Bunch
Gilligan's Island


I guess I'd have to say no the 90's didn't have the catchiest theme songs

Sesame Street and The Muppet Show theme are catchy

oh yeah and Fraggle Rock from the 80s

Also Doug, Goof Troop, and Talespin were among my favorite theme songs from the '90s when it comes to cartoons. Also, most sitcoms in the '90s had very catchy themes.

As far as having the best, that's debatable. The '60s through the '90s all have plenty of great tv themes, so it's hard to pick one in particular.

For the 80's you forgot the theme song to the Facts Of Life.

60's Hawaii five-o and Get Smart.

I went with the technicality and added it to the 70s but I suppose I could have added it to 80s since they changed their theme song

90's had a catchiest tv themes blossom (jeena von oy is cute,but not blossom) fresh prince of bel-air is catchy.nick in the afternoon theme (with stick stickly Yeah stick stickly) friends.

The only one I ATM I can recall liking was the theme to 'Wings'.  The opening (which was nixed after Season 3) was more in a classical style.  The closing theme (which I liked better) was faster and upbeat variation of the opening theme

Philip Eno would like it as it's based upon Classical music:  Sonata no. 20 in Major D. 959 by Franz Schubert

Wings - Opening Theme
Wings - Closing Theme

the nick song that sticks with me is that Breakfast Time Rap they did a last year or the year before granted its not a theme song but it's still catchy.  ;D

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, one of the funniest and catchiest of themes.

I'd say of the '90s TV shows (at least those that started no earlier than 1989 and predominantly aired in that decade, so no shows like The Sopranos which predominantly aired during the '00s), I'd say the top 10 are:

1. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
2. The Simpsons (the theme wasn't used until January 1990)
3. Friends
4. The Heights (the show was very short-lived, but thanks to the song topping the charts, is quite memorable)
5. Law & Order
6. Seinfeld (the 1989 pilot did not use the more familiar theme)
7. Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?
8. Frasier (unlike most shows, the theme is done at the end)
9. Mad About You
10. Northern Exposure

As you probably can tell, the first half of the decade has much better themes than the second half due to the rising demand for advertising and thus viewing intros as unnecessary. But to the old question, I'd say no as the 80's by far had the catchiest. Whether it was a sitcom, drama, kid's show, game show, soap opera, or even sporting program you couldn't escape the catchiness that this decade provided. There is even an entire site devoted to just the TV themes of that decade that has been around since the late '90s, something you can't find with the others. The '70s were probably second, followed by the '60s and then the '90s.

I'm stuck between choosing between the 1980's or 1990's as catchiest TV themes.

The '90s and '00s had a lot of catchy themes for TV shows.

Even though this is an 80's cartoon, that DuckTales show from Toon Disney had one of the catchiest theme songs of all time. Family Matters and Fresh Prince of Bel Air were real catchy to me as well.

A lot of those shows created from the late 80's to mid 90's had this interesting beat or rhythm throughout the intros that couldn't stay out of your head. By the time you get to the late 90's/early 2000's that interesting beat/rhythm seemed to disappear from a lot of shows

A lot of the cartoons had catchy opening, but with the real TV shows... the themes were either good or decent.
Overall, I'd say the 70s and 80s had the catchiest tv themes.

You had themes like Seinfeld, Fresh Prince, Home Improvement and Full House which were pretty catchy.

Can't believe no one mentioned the 80's tv show The Fall Guy.  That is a great theme song.

actually she was asking if the 90s have the catchiest theme songs and most of us pointed out eras with better theme songs

80's were mentioned.  :)


Oh Ok.

Not only did the '90s have extremely catchy TV themes, but the decade also had some of the catchiest commercials ever produced as well. Jingles in ads are a rarity these days, but back in the '90s just about every commercial had one. Remember when TV ads actually used to be like this:

This is barely a '90s show because this show started in December 1999, but I'm posting this TV theme because it's nostalgic and it reminds of when I liked this TV theme when I was 5.
