Now before you start laughing and thinking, "The Media Elitist has lost it" please hear me out! Part of the fun of the television watching experience is the opening sequence and theme song. Think about it: It's 8PM and your favorite show is about to come on. You've waited all week to see what was going to happen to your favorite character. You see the first glimpses of the opening credits and your excitements grows. Then the opening notes of the theme song kick in and, if you're anything like me, you start singing along.
West Philadelphia, born and raised on the playground is where I spent most of my days...
It's a rare condition,this day and age to read any good news on the newspaper page...
We are living...single...and in a 90's kinda world I'm glad I got my girls.
Keepin' your head above water...makin' a way when you can...
Shakin' up the family tree with sibling synchronicity....
Here's our chance to make it...and if we focus on our goal..you can dish it we can take it, just remember that you've been told--it's a different world...
And just like that, the tone was set. You were officially ready to enjoy your show. Whether the theme song was light and fun, or serious and meaningful, they all lent something extra to your favorite TV show.
Dearest Readers, what are some of your all-time favorite TV theme songs?? You ready to start a 'bring back TV theme songs" movement with me? Or do you just think I'm reminiscing too much? Whatever the thought, let a sista know!
Some of My Personal Favorites...
Extra credit to anyone who can A)Identify all the shows in the lyrics I quoted above AND B)Knows the words to the extended version of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song. No Googling! ;-)
