Theme songs of the 70's TV, back in a time were television still had the innocence about it. These are some of my favorite theme songs from the 70's. I hope this article brings back plenty of happy memories for you.

1.) Duke of hazards theme was written and sung as written by Waylon Jennings. Waylon who was and still is a country super star, wrote a song everyone knew the words too. I am sure I was not the only teenager who sang the theme with him, or drooled over Bo Duke. This was the story of three cousins Bo, Luke and Daisy who lived with Uncle Jesse, and the boys most of the time were in trouble with the law. The boys didn't have to do anything wrong to get Roscoe or the JD Hogg after them, JD just wanted the farm the Dukes lived on so JD invented trouble.

2.) All in the Family The show opens with Archie and Edith sitting at the piano with Edith playing and the both of them singing along. 'Those were the days', was written by Lee Adams and Charles Strouse, sung by none other then Archie and Edith. How many of us sang with these two? I remember watching this show and it was one of my first memories of television. I loved to listen to Archie give his brand of attitude to everyone.

3.) Happy days this song was written by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel. Happy Days told the story of the Cunningham's, Marion and Howard and their children Ritchie and Joanie. It was set in the 1950, and the theme song was something all kids sang. Ritchie was one boy that every teen-age girl could fall in love with 30 minutes a week. This was the family everyone wished they could live with, or at least close by.

4.) Good times Music by Dave Grusin lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn and sung by James Gilstrap and Blinky William. The theme show was one that everyone knew and when you heard it, you gathered around the television to see what JJ would do next. Who can forget the wise cracking JJ, and his sister Thelma, whom he picked on endlessly. She would give it right back to him thought. This was the story about an afro-American family growing up and surviving in the Chicago projects.
