The music to the Cosby Show (no lyrics), but a different tune each season.
Also the spin off "A Different World"
I know my parents love me, Stand behind me come what may.
I know now that I'm ready, Because I finally heard them say
It's a different world than where you come from.
Here's a chance to make it, If we focus on our goals.
If you dish it we can take it, Just remember you've been told
It's a different world, It's a different world,
Than where you come from, Than where you come from

Spider Man, spider man does what ever a spider can
Can he swing from a web- take a look over head-Hey Man here come the spider man.
In the chill of the night at the scene of crime - like a stream of light he arrives just in time.

The ships aground on shore of this UNCHARTED DESERT isle with Gilligan.....
Now I've got Bonanza running thru my head, no words just the tune!
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip
that started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day on a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew the Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.
The ships aground on the shore of this desserted tropic isle with Gilligan, the Skipper too, the millionaire and his wife, the movie star, the professor and Mary Ann, here on Gilligan's Isle!
- Is that last stanza right? Help me out folks!
I love the theme song to "Good Times" and "Mel's Diner". And I also heard a very nice Jazz rendition of the theme song to "All In The Family" called "Those Were The Days". I wish i could remember the name of the artist!
