Hello everyone, I just want to say that I know I made a mistake about the last show, Newhart. I now know (after many, many comments) that I put in the incorrect show’s cast picture. Please forgive me about the error. Since this video is, well, uploaded, I cannot change the picture. I do, however, appreciate all of the constructive criticism I’ve been getting because it will allow me to make better and more accurate videos in the future! :) Also I know that some of the TV shows I put into the video could be considered 70s shows. My way of thinking for where to put what TV show is what decade has the majority. For example, if a TV show first aired in 1978 and ended in 1983, then I would put that show into the 80s version, and not the 70s version. Like I said before, I do understand why people would think it’s a 70s show, considering it started in the 70s. But in my opinion, I would put the show into the decade with the majority. If a TV show first aired in 1978 and ended in 1981, then I would decide where to put it based on which decade the TV show would be best associated with, however sometimes I’m wrong with my placements. As always, if I do have any wrong information about a show or topic, then feel free to inform me in the comments section. :)
Song Trivia The Newhart cast picture isn’t wrong. Psychologist Bob Hartley of The Bob Newhart Show dreamed he was a innkeeper in Vermont and his name was Dick Louden. At the end of that 8 year long and very strange dream, he woke up in bed with his wife Emily back in Chicago. The cast of Newhart was only a figment of his imagination. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZgdUWXf8jJk.html
Is it just me, or does this make anyone else feel happy and sad at the same time? Brings back so many memories and missing those days, but glad that I got to grow up then.
Initially I was sad because knowing all these shows made me think I was old. But then I realized, What privilege to have grown up during the time and the shows!
It's funny, I was in college from 1991-1994 and the rule for watching the TV in the graduate men's dorm was news, sports . . . and "The Cosby Show." Can you guess what the majority of the students looked like?
Im an Aussie 80s Kid.... we had the best shows and cartoons............... I watched about 90% of these shows and all the episodes growing up.... how crazy is that ?........
It’s amazing how listening to these theme songs you tear up reminiscing!! You can see your loved ones who passed on, landline phone with the long cord, antenna on top of the tv and the house you were raised in that looked so big but now you realize how small it was..I miss my grandparents so much..😢
im an Aussie 80s Kid.... I miss the 80s soo much.................. Its funny.... I do not miss the 90s or 2000s.... but I want to go back to the 80s...........
Literally the best time to grow up…the garbage tv today is a reflection of how good we had it, and we didn’t even know it. People today don’t understand having to be in front of the tv at a certain time or you missed the show and running for food at the commercials…damn
Kids today have no idea how excited we got when these songs played! No DVR, no rewind, no smartphones or iPads or social media, we just watched and enjoyed the show! The best of times
@@tomarobinson1486 as a Aussie kid, I remember missing school in the morning because Australia was winning the Americas Cup race in 1983... it was such a great deal over here at the time, I think many kids missed school on that day
Hearing these makes me want to cry because I miss the 80's so much. I wish I could go back.. Things were better and simpler. I wish our kids today could experience the life we had growing up in the 80's. Everything was better!
That was Golden Girls for me. I still know the song though, mom might have made me go to bed but she didn't make me sleep! I stayed up and listened to it. :D
For me, that’s “Benny Hill” - if my dad and step-mom were watching that, and I was still up, I could expect to hear them say “what are you still doing up?!” with an articulated interrobang.
Does everyone else get a different emotion depending on what theme was playing? Truly an amazing time for me as a kid growing up in the 80s and watching these shows.
its funny, because for some of us the show theme songs means it was bed time lol... I use to like the action shows the best, so like Knight Rider, A-Team, Mac Gyver so on always brings back memories Even Star Trek.... there was one where there was a hand in space reaching out to the Enterprise, and I hid behind the lounge chair because it was scary lol.... I remember it like yesterday....
The simplicity of life back then😇...I almost wanna cry right now ....there was no internet or cellphones....just quality time with your family around the TV enjoying life .....we will NEVER get those times back😢😢😢😢😢😢
I'm very thankful to have been apart of this era , like you very good memories even if they weren't all good , I miss being young for sure , I find what is hard being older is watching all these actors and actresses passing away ,people we grew up with and idolize , just leaving us ,it's like a family member passing each time or hearing something horrific happened to them , that's hard to accept , but still enjoy the memories with the help of the music and what the writers and actors and actresses gave us all those years
To this day I can recite the speech that opens the A-Team theme song (narrated by Lyle Waggoner) word for word. You should see people's faces when I do it...
From Spain... it's incredible how American TV shows marked our childhoods, after dinner we seated around the TV and enjoyed these entertainment series.
I sometimes get nostalgic for the Saturday morning garbage we used to watch. Zigmund and the Sea Monsters comes to mind. A couple of years ago, Netflix had Star Trek the animated series so I bought some Cap't Cruch Peanut Butter cereal and I would put that on on a Saturday morning and watch that while eating my captain crunch. Took me right back to 1973 for a good 22 minutes!!! Now if I could just stay there.
Yes, i somehow got the feeling, that shows after the 90s got more and more soulless and less wholesome. When i look into our german free TV now, i get the feeling, that the producers don't want intelligent audience. They want to sell cheap products with scandals and aren't interested anymore in making good TV. :/
Why on Earth is someone, who didn't live in the 80s, a fool?! It's not as if someone can influence his or her date of birth. (and yeah: grammar is a bitch)
I say that Everytime. Put you right back in that point of time. That's The only way I know how to live. I gotta stay back there. Keeps my sanity. I watch all old movies and shows and I listen to all the old songs. A world when no matter what was going on, you had music movies and those sitcoms🧘🏾🙏💕🥴
It's nice knowing you grew up in a time where every stupid thing you did will be lost to the mists of time and not permanently recorded and posted for all to see.
This video is nostalgic all over the place, but in retrospect a whole load of these shows were …not good. And there are so many good recent shows…though maybe mostly cartoons. Don't get caught in the nostalgia trap of thinking everything was great.
Jeez, you guys are really hitting hard with the nostalgia here. Weird that the ones I thought I would know I am missing, and the ones I thought I would miss, I am guessing. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had quite a bit of emotions hearing all of these songs. It's like I've gone into a time machine.
the 80s were the "best" decade in many ways! The TV series were the best, and the music even more! ;-) But the best thing about the 80s is and remains that the internet didn't exist before
you are 1,000% correct in everything you said here. One good thing about the internet is that we can see and hear those shows anytime we want now and reminisce..... ahhhhhhh! :-)
What is with you Luddites and your anti-internet meme? The Internet has vastly improved our lives in so many ways. I couldn't do without it. And I doubt you could either.
I know I'm not the only one singing along with all the songs. Miss the 80s. Watching the Golden Girls right now. If "Married....With Children" were on today, people's heads would explode.
@@candicelitrenta8890 Technially that show did not survive into the 80s. After Jean left the show (and Edith died) they did a spin-off called Archie's Place. But All in the Family ended in 1979. Great show.
Born in 1975, the 80s was such an interesting decade where I went from a small child to a teenager. These songs hold so much memorial value. Each one took me back to a different weeknight, hanging out with my mom (RIP) and not realizing I was living the best years of my life. Thank you so much for posting this. It was delightfully painful to get through.
I was born in 1971 but for some reason I do better at these things when run the ones from the '60's than the '70's or '80's. Maybe because if it was made in the '60's I've been watching it longer, I don't know.
I thank God I grew up during the 80's!! We had great times - full of great people & great music!! These shows bring back many precious memories!!👏🏾👏🏾🥰🥰
Very true social media’s platform have mess these kids memories up real bad an destroy interaction an society up real bad I hate social media’s platforms with a passion
Wow. I was born in 1986. I remember the re-runs from the 90's. At 35 years old I can even feel the warm feelings in my heart of such a happy time and life being simpler than now. It doesn't even compare or come close. I wish I could go back in time. I really enjoyed this. Thank you!

This was a great nostalgia trip. It’s amazing as you are listening to these, the memories and the emotions flow. And these songs are not only catchy but great pieces of music too
God, this is amazing!! Thank you for putting it together! My middle school and high school years have come flooding back to me! These shows have many beautiful memories attached with family and friends. A much simpler time back then. I miss them greatly. Did anyone else learn the Hill Street Blues theme song on the piano like I did? I BEGGED my teacher to take a break from the classical stuff, so that I could learn it! Ha!
Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team, MacGyver and Knight Rider I literally took less than a second to recognise, they stand out so distinctly, some others only a second or two more. Dynasty and Dallas were so iconic, I recognised them immediately without ever having seen an episode. Really nice memories.
"Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team, MacGyver and Knight Rider I literally took less than a second to recognise" Same here, plus Cheers and Magnum Pi, Taxi, married with Children and Love boat (I watched too much TV as a kid). Oh and I hope you didn't pause on Duke of Hazzard to check out Daisy one last time! :)
Exactly, it seems like those older shows not only entertained, but also gave a lesson about life within each episode, something which today’s shows rarely do
Actually it was the writers strike that brought upon reality tv. Networks then realized it was cheaper to go unscripted, no writers or actors to pay, cheaper to produce and they could charge just as much for ad time.
But the 2000s has had some high quality shows with top rated stars. It brought Mad Men, Sopranos, Downton Abbey etc. It's just these shows weren't on CBS, ABC and NBC. You had to have HBO, Showtime etc
Best TV shows from that time frame (in no particular order): 1. I Love Lucy 2. The Dick Van Dyke Show 3. Three's Company 4. Growing Pains 5. Family Ties 6. Who's the Boss? 7. Charles in Charge 8. Full House 9. Beverly Hills 90210 10. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
My mother died of Cancer in 96 at the Age of 37. Some of my Best Memories is staying up with her late at Night to Watch Reruns of 50s-80s shows. Still means alot to me, Very Grateful 🙏 to all these amazing Intros and Classic Shows
I could literally feel and see my self watching these shows. It brought me back with happy tears. I could feel the outside breeze and the smell of house and nature now when each of these songs came on. Hard to explain but I just felt the moment. Wish I could go back!! 80 where the best decade.
@@magicslave3066 I strongly disagree with you some late 50's along.with the 60'& 70'S & 80's theme songs were much much better than the 1990's January 16,2020
They had the 70's Bob Newhart cast photo. The Newhart 80's cast featured his co stars Mary Frann, Peter Scholari , Tom Postman. I know I forgotten I some cast members, but those are the ones I remember off hand name wise.
As much as I miss the 80s. The tv shows, movies, music and the fun times I had as a teen. I would not wanna go back. The bad things I would have too relive in the 90s and early 2000s what keeps me from wanting to go back
Listening to these theme songs just takes me back to so many different parts and scenes in my early years. I had my mom, I was young, happy, had friends to play with, school was cool and I was happy to come home after school to watch these awesome 80 shows. I feel so sad and happy at the same time. These shows help keep me sane in a way
That song has a way of cutting deep. It brings to the surface all the feelings of growing up and all the memories. It was an amazing show. My mom was strict and didn't let me watch it for a time, but she finally caved and watched an episode with me and completely changed her mind.
*Aside from the nostalgia factor (I'm 43 so pretty much all of these are my jam), what I always found kind of cool and interesting about the theme songs from shows of the 80s (with exception of the instrumental ones), is that pretty much the whole concept and background for the show and its characters, was always laid out in the lyrics of the theme song.*
I am! I did pretty good. Only got seven wrong. They were from shows I wasn't familiar with. This one was a little easier than the eighties part two. I got about 10 right. Hey, it was fun trying.
When The Golden Girls theme played I thought to myself "I feel bad for anyone who isn't familiar with this one" Love The Golden Girls and the theme song. 🥰
Same here, even tho i was a kid in the 80's I remember all those shows listed, and then there were some he didn't list such as Benson, Moon Lighting, and Give Me A Break, etc, etc.
It's a weird phenomenon but I think having fewer choices made us that much more glued to those 13 channels full of these objectively godawful shows. And let's be honest, they were truly horrendous. They only reason we have good memories of them is because we were kids and that's what we were doing while we were kids. Because my god, do they not hold up at all lol.
Thank you for this! The 80s had some of the best TV shows and theme songs. Wonder Years, Diff’rent Strokes, Bosom Buddies, Dukes of Hazzard, A-Team, Knight Rider, MacGyver, and Family Ties...never missed a week. Appreciated Cheers and Taxi more as an adult.
Great observation. I the same there were certain shows that I did get to appreciate much later. I’m not sure if anyone agrees but there’s also some shows like Cheers where I enjoyed post Diane not pre-Diane which was the latter six years of the show.
At 50...I still wanna just go back and be Magnum, Crockett and Colt Seavers...of course most kids would've traded to be Rick Schroder too. The stardom level of some of these star characters was off the charts...hope they appreciated it!
Listening to these theme songs from the 80s instantly brought me back to a happier time in my life. I'm so thankful I didn't grow up in this new Era of social media, cell phones, and a sense of entitlement. Kids these days have no idea of what it's like to watch tv shows with your family, after-school specials, cartoons on a Saturday morning, picking fruits & vegetables from the garden, recycling cans, playing UNO, Jack's, shelling peas and competing to see who shelled the most. I could go on and on, but I think you all get my drift. I really miss the simpler times😢
Just a few suggestions for next time..... Fall Guy, Designing Women,Moonlighting,Who's the boss, Quantum Leap, Chips,Punky Brewster I'm a kid of the 80's. I watched alot of tv !!!
21 Jump Street, ALF, Bosom Buddies, Dear John, Doogie Howser, Family Matters, Full House, Greatest Amercan Hero....I could go on and on. Although most people would argue that Family Matters is a 90s show, it actually first aired in 89. Then you could have bonus questions involving 80s mini series such as V.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. All the wonderful memories come flooding back associated with each programme. What a wonderful trip down memory lane.😍😍😍
Holy shit....my childhood came flooding back!!! The best decade of soaps ... Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, ...loved em all!! Wrong pic for Newhart....that was a pic of the Bob Newhart Show from the 70s
It's funny how some of these are recognized instantly. I even remember the lyrics to some of them. While others I couldn't identify despite watching the show at the time.
I know, right? I was wondering when the challenging ones would happen and then the drama ones kicked in halfway through and I drew a blank on a couple. lol
Listening to this in 2020, amazingly I think I only missed 3 or 4, most of these themes are so iconic, however pre internet, I watched way to much TV! Thanks for all of the nostalgia.
I am delighted to recall the timeless classic TV shows and themes from the 80s. It was truly a golden era, characterized by straightforward and comprehensible content. Everyone focused on their own affairs, and the overall atmosphere was far less chaotic than what we experience in the present day, where people often seek attention.
Nice. When I was young and watched alot of TV. For me brings back childhood memories when I was young. Parents where younger. Life was good and felt safe. Good feeling to remember such good times. I dont watch too much TV now. I try to help myself, my family and others. Improve society if I can. In whatever small ways. Keep up the good work recording past history because in 1000 years there will be no one to remember any of it.... :) KNIGHT RIDER!
@@MxCartney_Lou I dont think shows that started in the fall of 89 should count as "80s" shows. Those I would consider shows that ushered in the 90s. Just my opinion though.
