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
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.
