Ok, I’ve narrowed it down to my top 5. But I need you, my loyal blog friends to crown the Ordinary Radical sitcom theme song champion.

Here are the contestants:

1) Coming straight out of the 60s with a catchy whistled tune titled “The Fishin’ Hole” by Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer. It’s the Andy Griffith Show theme song.

2) In the 80s this theme song invited us all to a place “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” - it’s the theme song from Cheers written by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo.

3) Filled with soul and a bit of sass this sitcom from the 70s and 80s brought us higher with a gospel infused theme song called “Movin’ On Up” written by Ja’net Du Bois and Jeff Barry. It’s the theme from The Jeffersons.

4) In the 60s, we rocked the Island with this catchy nautical theme song “The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle” written by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle. It’s the theme from Gilligan’s Island, little buddies!

5) Back in the 90s, a group of “Friends” gave us one of the most catchy and annoying theme songs of all times. Written by Michael Skloff and Allee Willis specifically for the show and performed by the Rembrandts, it’s “I’ll Be There For You” - theme from Friends.
