Product Description
America is a huge, diverse country with Yankee home cooking and Tex Mex cuisine. People ski on frozen Vermont mountains and surf the big waves in sun drenched California. One thing that binds it all together is TV. Television is American culture, a common thread that holds it all together on a nightly basis as we assemble around our living rooms to watch our favorite characters and shows.

Twenty years ago, TVT Records was born with its first release, Television's Greatest Hits. Now after having sold millions of its TV theme compilations around the world, America's #1 independent label for the past 4 years running is returning to its roots. In celebration of TVT's 20th Anniversary, it is releasing the ultimate TV collection, All Time Top 100 TV Themes, featuring themes drawn from all the original sources.

Hearing these theme songs consistenly evokes a strong emotional response, pointing to a time when everyone watched the same TV shows again and again. From I Love Lucy and Green Acres to Batman and The Monkees, to Welcome Back Kotter and M*A*S*H to Pee Wee's Playhouse and Twin Peaks to Friends and Six Feet Under, virtually anyone who grew up American watching television is sure to want a nostalgic piece of their shared cultural past.

Shouldn't Have Been Squeezed on Two CDs.......2007-06-27

As much as I love that they showcased 100 great TV themes, that they are short versions offsets that. The themes for "Friends", "Melrose Place", and "Will and Grace" are over before you can blink an eye! I am particularly disappointed in "The Six Million Dollar Man" theme. It does not include the entire introduction with Steve and the crew communicating during Steve's initial liftoff. Instead, it begins with the crash sound. This collection should really be on 3 CDs, with each theme lengthened to their full potential.

Huge Dissapointment.......2007-05-22

I was very dissapointed with the 2 dvd set I bought on 100 tv themes. they were originals allright, but the songs were just quick soundbytes. they werent full length. The cheers theme is over 2 1/2 minutes long. In this set its only a minute long. Hill st blues the same thing. Good times theme has been reduced to .44 seconds as was mary tyler moore, and many others. They should have made this a 3-4 cd set and included all the songs full length. I never would have bought this had I known they only included 25% of the song length. No one mentioned this on the reviews, I am the only one bringing up this major , major , shortcoming.

television theme songs.......2007-05-17

For some reason, I thought that the tv theme songs would play in their entirety on these CDs. I did not realize that they were the shortened versions designed for tv, i.e., the abbreviated ones we all remember. That being said, the CDs are great for what they are - they are simply not what i had hoped.

A Fun CD.......2007-05-11

My first consideration as to whether or not to buy this CD was to check if the themes from my three favorite shows were included...and there they were; M*A*S*H, Magnum and Moonlighting.

I wish some of the older classics were included such as Bonanza, 77 Sunset Strip, American Bandstand, Mickey Mouse Club and Howdy Doody Time.

The only problem is what would you delete in order to include them. Maybe Six Feet Under and The Banana Splits.

Thanks so much for the Honeymooners, Twilight Zone, I Love Lucy and the Lone Ranger!

This is a fun CD to play and sing along with in the car. Passengers enjoy playing Name That Tune!

For the Effort.......2007-04-01

I gave five stars since I am impressed with the compilation itself, even if not alwys the quality of sound. Certainly, any effort to improve upon that would result in a product that would be much more attractive. In the meantime, this is OK.

Something to be aware of: The themes are always the most recent. Some shows re-recorded the theme later in the series and that then became the theme for even re-runs. So, the Gilligan's Island theme has, "The Professor and Maryanne," and not, "...and the rest," Alice is the later version; the All in the Family version is from a special they did where the song was re-sung and the line, "Gee our old Lasalle ran great," is sung very clearly, etc.

In the future, perhaps we can get something with all of the versions of the theme songs on it for those who like the earlier versions better.

Whatever the case, there certainly is a desire for this music. I also don't doubt that there is a desire for other songs sung in some shows. Some of the musical numbers from Gilligan's Island were a hoot (remember the Honey Bees?). Other shows had songs that were fun, from the Brady Bunch to Bewitched and beyond.

Anyhoo, this set will certainly bring some smiles to nostalgia-oriented folks. It also can be fun for DJs. Slip "The Love Boat" in between some techno and I'm sure you will create an amusing scene.
