As awesome as the opening tune of Three's Company's is, as soon as I heard Perfect Strangers I still know almost all of the words 
and reading rainbow is gay |

Wow, I'm getting major flashbacks of my childhood by watching these intros.
This was TV at its best, and nobody can convince me otherwise.

I'd vote for any of the 8 versions of the Cosby Show before any of those. So 'Other'

I'm partial to Growing Pains, but I had to go with Perfect Strangers simply because of all the Chicago stuff (I know that doesn't have to do with the song, but whatever).
I agree about the million different Cosby songs though. I think my favorite is the acapella version, or the first one.

What, no Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life or Golden Girls?

This is what I was going to say as well, but it appears youtube doesn't have the other show intro listed. Instead of starting with the kick drum, it started out with a horn section. I believe it was early years of the show that they had that intro.

Wonder Years should be eliminated because it isn't a true theme song.
I went with Growing Pains which beat out Family Ties by a hair just because it was more upbeat. Both bring back so many memories of growing up. Instantly I can remember every girl I had a crush on and the stupid crap I did.

good calls with cosby show and macgyver. I knew I'd leave out some that I just forgot and some that other people liked, hence, 'other.'
tho the cosby show was a great show, i dont think the song tops most of the original list
