TV theme lyrics

Minder.

I was waiting for a chance to slip a British show in somewhere! 

From another Brit classic:

Mr. Brown goes off to town on the 8:21,
But he comes home each evening and he's ready with his gun

Dad's Army


Working all day,
For a packet of pay,
And send a little back to the wife,

Still you keep a little here,
Just to keep you in beer,
That's livin alright.

Auf Weidersein Pet! (sp?)

I'm the dog
the big fat dog...

dog bounty hunter

It seems today
that all you see
is violence in movies and sex on tv
but where are those good ol' fasioned values
on which we used to rely

Family Guy

Where you lead
I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, if you need me to be with you

Gilmore Girls

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be

Ooh, that's a sneaky one!   

It's Suicide is Painless, the theme from M*A*S*H, although the regular TV series only used an instrumental version.

Don't let this stop the main flow of the game, but there are bonus points on this American show for anyone who can also give the alternate title by which it was known in Britain originally.  Super-bonus points for anyone who can explain why it had that alternate title!

Close friends get to call him T.C.
Providing it's with dignity

pretty sure its top cat

Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet 

(you can tell I'm a parent! lol)

Sesame Street!    And yes, mine was Top Cat.

Meet Cathy who's lived most everywhere,
From Zanzibar to Berkeley Square,
While Patty's only seen the sights a girl can see from Brooklyn Heights,
What a crazy pair

The Patty Duke Show

Yes, no.  Maybe.  I don't know.  Can you repeat the question?
You're not the boss of me now, you're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not do big.

Malcolm in the Middle

Any time you’re out from under.
Not getting hassled, not getting hustled.
Keepin’ your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.

Good Times

  together we're going to find our way.. together taking the time each day.  to learn about those things you just can't buy..

Silver Spoons

I bet we been together for a million years,
And I bet we'll be together for a million more.
Oh, It's like I started breathing on the night we kissed,
And I can't remember what I ever did before.

Family Ties

-----

Hello world, hear the song that we're singing,
C'mon get happy
A whole lot of lovin' is what we'll be bringing,
We'll make you happy

Partridge Family

Anyone can fall in love
That's not hard to do, it isn't so clever
Anyone can fall in love
But you must make the love last forever more.


I freely admit this is a bit of a cheat for the same reason as M*A*S*H, but some anorak out there will know it!
