Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 1

So here we are – the number one theme of the 1990s.  However, before entering into our last and greatest entry, I present to you the previous nine entries:

10. “Second Time Around” from Step by Step

9.  “I’ll Be There For You” from Friends

8.  “Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs” from Frasier

7. “I’m Always Here” from Baywatch

6.  “The Simpsons Theme” from The Simpsons

5. “Theme of Law & Order” from Law & Order

4.  “As Days Go By” from Family Matters

3. “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

2. “Theme from Beverly Hills 90210” from Beverly Hills 90210

Quite a list huh? We’ve certainly come a long way baby. In looking back at the top ten, I can say that my only regret would be the uncreative titles many of the theme writers gave their moving works of television nostalgia.  Seriously, 4 of the last 5 on the list include the show title in their theme name.  Of course, I guess that’s my fault for choosing mostly instrumentals and a referential theme that directly addresses the main character of the show as four of the top six. Thankfully, the number one television theme song of the 1990s breaks this mold.

It’s no surprise to anyone who grew up in the 1990s:

Your Comedy Moment

From this past weekend's SNL, two great clips of Back to the Future screen tests.  Bill Hader and Jay Pharoah steal the sketch, but Jon Hamm doesn't do half bad for himself.  Make sure to watch the clips before they're taken down by NBC.






Plan is to have the last entry into the top ten on Tuesday. However, on a serious note, I will be attending my grandmother's funeral tomorrow so I'm not sure whether I'll have time to finalize the write-up.  She was a good woman who this blogger will miss a great deal.

Name the Cartoon Contest

I'll be thoroughly impressed should anyone get this one correctly.

ETA: Knowing my hobbies and special interests may guide you more clearly to finding the correct answer.

Your Comedy Moment

To keep with the 90210 theme, I decided to choose a scene of Tori Spelling first attempting to act and then attempting to model.  She fails on both counts. But it is hilarious.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Number 2

In delving into the annals of television theme songs, I always tried to pick one specific version of the theme to feature for the countdown – at least as far as choosing my favorite for the list.  When it comes to number two, however, I cannot narrow my choices down to just one choice as different seasons of the show featured variations both on the theme and the intro.  At number two, the “Theme from Beverly Hills, 90210.”

Beware, plenty more videos after the jump:

Name the Cartoon Contest

The difficulty in naming this cartoon may have more to do with its relatively recent creation as opposed to obscurity.  Who watched the occasional cartoon in their tween years?

Your Comedy Moment

With The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as our featured theme song today, could "Your Comedy Moment" be anything but Alfonso Ribeiro doing "The Carlton?"


First, here's a compilation of some of the best Carlton dancing scenes set to Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual." The second video (after the jump) is an unedited version of Carlton's dance with that laugh track clear as day.
