Guess The 80s TV Show Theme Song!

[@songtrivia]

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. :)

[@collegeman1988]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJjHhoqOm52dgM0

[@Pluty80]

The current landscape of the entertainment industry lacks the uniqueness and exceptional abilities that were once associated with celebrities. Nowadays, it seems like they do not put in the same amount of effort or showcase genuine talent. Furthermore, the rise of KZbinrs without any real talent has further diluted the essence of true skill and ability.

The Golden Age of broadcast television was the 50s-90s from Honeymooners to Seinfeld. Cable and reality shows wrecked it in the 2000s.

[@adams8585]

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

[@chris.fitzgerald]

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.

[@deathbeforedecaf7755]

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
