I don't watch as many sitcoms as I used to, so I don't know when they stopped doing fun theme songs, but I checked The Big Bang Theory, which is the most recent one I can think of, and it was only 20 seconds long. The Golden Girls and Friends were 40 and M*A*S*H was 45. I kind of miss them, but it's not a big deal for me that they don't have them anymore. I don't see how they ate up too much time, though. time an old theme song to the amount of plot time a modern comparable show has. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149316-the-good-old-days-the-things-we-miss-in-the-modern-tv-era-and-the-ones-we-dont/page/3/#findComment-8592314

Raja Tuesday at 04:26 PM Share Tuesday at 04:26 PM From 70s TV the only "interracial" meaning Black and White, couple that I could remember were the Jeffersons' in-laws. But now I am seeing them sprinkled in as one-off storylines on cop shows like Kojak and Police Story recently. And on that Police Story episode a Juvenile Division detective, in those days before women were on patrol duties was going in to take down a teen armed robber carrying her purse. And the theme I do remember of folks fearing that males with female partners would eventually have an affair. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149316-the-good-old-days-the-things-we-miss-in-the-modern-tv-era-and-the-ones-we-dont/page/3/#findComment-8597653
Raja Yest. at 01:46 AM Share Yest. at 01:46 AM A line of dialog from a 1976 episode of Emergency! As with all later Jack Webb programs you get the anti drug message but it caught me on how the messaging of a sober or an addict in recovery has changed. A heroin addict who was clean for a year refuses pain medication for multiple broken bones and his friend questions how one could needed shot hurt even an addict. To which Paramedic De Soto immediately corrects "ex drug addict" 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149316-the-good-old-days-the-things-we-miss-in-the-modern-tv-era-and-the-ones-we-dont/page/3/#findComment-8598073
