Throwback Thursday: '80s Sitcom Theme Songs
Episode Title: '80s Sitcom Theme Songs (Originally aired: Oct 13, 2016) Cohost: Paul Stroessner & Robert Mishou Description: We're cranking the dial back to 2016—and even further back into our childhoods—for a look at some of the most iconic sitcom theme songs of the '80s! In this special Throwback Thursday re-release, I'm joined by my original cohost Robert Mishou as we each share our top 5 sitcom themes and talk about why they've stood the test of time. 🎵 From the heartfelt ( Growing Pains ) to the hilarious ( Alf ), the funky ( Diff'rent Strokes ) to the unforgettable ( Cheers ), these tunes weren't just intros—they were part of the show's identity. And yeah… I even let Robert sneak in Fresh Prince . 😄 At the time of recording, the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot was just about to hit theaters, Stranger Things had exploded, and Bon Jovi was releasing This House Is Not for Sale . The '80s were already making a comeback—and we were all in. 💡 Note: The episode ends a little abruptly, as we originally transitioned into a full Ghostbusters follow-up that sadly never aired due to a massive audio glitch.
