Guess the TV Show & Star from Theme Song

Many TV shows have memorable theme songs. Write down part of a TV or radio theme song (a part that does not have the name of the show in it). Members guess the name of the show, and the star of the show. The person who guesses correctly, will ask the next question.

I'll start:

Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ride

Sesame Street

Stars--Big Bird, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Elmo, et al.


Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have the town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

yitwail -You are fast! Check this out. Really takes you back. Do you remember who was one of the main stars? Hint: He went on to become a famous actor, producer and director.

firefly- Mary Tyler Moore Show with, of Course, Mary Tyler Moore!

Although the main star of the show has slid into oblivion, one of the other players has gone on to become a famous actor.

phoenix, forgot about the star. don't know who the "main star" was, but you were referring to Clint Eastwood. by the way, Frankie Laine still sings, now & then, not sure how old he is, but it's at least 80!

"Speed of lightning, roar of thunder."

It was a cartoon.

One of the main villains is a dead ringer for our new pope.

"Speed of lightning, power of thunder"

Was UNDERDOG, voiced by, I believe, Wally Cox?

The Addams Family of course. John Astin, Carolyn Jones , Jackie Coogan as the stars.

I was holding out, hoping someone else would chime in.

I think that is Baretta.


The following is one of my sister's all time favorite TV shows, but then she has no taste:

When you find your own true love you will know it
By his smile, by the look in his eyes.
Some set pine trees in the air
Or some stand around and stare
Look out everyone, XXXX XXXX XXX XXXXXX.
