The lost art of the theme song

TV sucks now. It's nothing but reality shows and people eating horse rectum and cock roaches. Aside from the fact that the shows themselves suck, what bothers me is the lack of decent theme songs.

Maybe it's just me, but I can recite the theme songs to Hey Dude, Full House, Family Matters and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air on command, and odds are most of you can recite at least one. They were catchy. They had something to do with the show. They made you feel good to sing along.

The last great theme song was 'I'll Be There for You' from Friends, but that wasn't even a real theme song because it was an actual single for the Rembrandts.

What good theme songs are there now? Exactly. Survivor doesn't have a catchy song. Fear Factor? No. It's kinda sad. The art of writing a good theme song seems to be lost on this generation.

In no particular order, here's a list of shows with kick-ass theme songs:

The Brady Bunch
Three's Company
Mr. Ed
Green Acres
Full House
Family Matters
Step by Step
Friends
Hey Dude
Salute Your Shorts
Saved by the Bell
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (admit it)
Fresh Prince
The Adventures of Pete and Pete (again, not an actual theme song, but still awesome)
