The 80s had the best sitcom theme songs
Loved this when I was a kid. Still know all the words to the song 😂
Omg. This made me cry. I WAITED every week for this show. Man. This theme song just ❤️
Connie Sellecca 😍😍😍😍
I think Jack Black should do a movie of this
This show truly deserves a remake for a new generation!! Such a great show!!
Bout time for a reboot. Too many overly serious superhero franchises today.
What a hero Stephen J. Cannel. So underrated. And what a hot streak by Mike Post.
Great show!!!! Connie Selleca at her peak and Robert Culp stealing every scene!!! "We need more scenarios!"😂😂😂😂👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
The first TV series I ever watched and fell in love with when I immigrated to the US from the Phillipines at the age of 6. My 2nd was The Dukes of Hazard. 😢 I miss the 80s
My fav... I was 13 years old in 1983 and I still can sing this theme song 😍🤩
This could definitely stand a reboot!
Great show! Fun blend of comedy and action. And this theme rocketed to the the top of the charts. Katt was perfect in the role.
I used to watch this with my dad. He loved this show.
