- One of many versions of the show introduction. They must've changed it every season. I loved this show! Pick up the Season One DVDs wherever you can! Later seasons basically don't exist, so grab 'em if you see 'em at yard sales.
What is up with our world today? Don't miss Dr. David Jeremiah explain how the Bible has predicted pandemics, socialism, globalism, and great deceptions. Where do we go from here? • Where Do We Go From He...

Brings back memories. Was the last show on Sunday night's I could stay up and watch before it was bedtime and the start of another week on school. Oh the 90s, how I took them for granted....
Absolutely. It was a great time.
Absolutely
I forgot , what caused Rebecca not to graduate with her class ??
@mrs3533 I think it was because she thought she was pregnant, but I could be wrong. Been a long time since I've revisited that show lol.
This was my favorite opening back when I was a young teen, because seeing Becca go from awkward to confident and just breezing out the door was everything to me. Plus her outfit - babydoll dress with cropped tights - was the rage back then.
ok freakin weirdo lol. Now tell us howyou flogged your chubby hog to Becca in your parents basement 🙄
She was supposed to be a nerd but she's the cutest nerd that I've saw.
I’m glad I grew up in this time era when tv shows were worth watching! I miss the 80’s-90’s!
Absolutely! My thoughts exactly! Today we can get more work done and read instead! : )
Sunday nights I remember watching this and American's Funniest Home Videos. Good times ❤️
What ???
Whoever wrote the original version of this theme song, I feel will go on to become a popular group one day.
lol. Good one. Actually, Lennon and likely more of the other Beatles thought it was ironically a dumb, "throwaway song". Lennon also weirdly enough, didn't somehow like their own 'Hey Bulldog!', too. ROFL. WHY make the song then!?
@@joshgellis3292 lol I know, Lennon hated 'Obla Di Obla Da' and called Paul's music writing "granny music".
Led Zeppelin refused to record this song.
Chilliwack, right
@@joshgellis3292 I’m guessing they needed songs to fill Yellow Submarine. Hey Bulldog is amazing with the nasty piano sound, John’s voice and the wordplay between him and Paul at the end.
This intro bring tears to my eyes! I miss the 80s and 90s. The world was on a path to be better for humanity until 9/11 struck!
I miss those times too. You are right, things started going downhill more around that time. Though some things were already going downhill before that.
💯🤔AMERICA IS BROKEN. LETS JUST NOT WORRY AND KICK IT AND ENJOY KNOW WE WERE RIGHT.🖖🏼
Agreed. 🫤
9/11 had nothing to do with the world
Things started going downhill after 1945
30 years later.. i still feel sorry for that dog
Me too
Me three!! 😆
He just wanted his kibbles
@@TattooedStoner and his bit😽
FEED ME STUPID HUMANS
One of the few shows that premiered in the late 80’s that ran into the 90’s. It was a great series for its time.
It sure was! We don't have anything like it anymore.
One of the other successful series that started late 80s and lasted into the mid 90s was "Empty Nest", and the title of its theme song was "Life Goes On". 😀
“Roseanne” and “Seinfeld” both did, but most would probably consider those 90s shows.
@@billyc768 It shared the same name as an ABC sitcom despite being a theme song for a Golden Girls spin-off.
I wish Netflix would add this to their website.
32 years later I still get goosebumps watching this! This theme song made me go through hardest time - Loosing my papa in 🇹🇿, 1991! ‘Life goes on’ and it sure has! Love you father, RIP my hero! 😍💪🏾
This intro lives rent free in my head. Lol
Sunday nights during my high school years! (graduated in '93.)
Me too!
I was born 4-19-85 and I loved to watch this shit go corky my guy
I graduated in 1994.. I haven't thought about this show in years & it popped into my head this evening!
Never knew till today this was a Beatles song
@@kbriddock3570: It was because of this Beatles song that this series doesn't get shown as repeats nor is available on DVD (with the exception of Season One, which was released with a different theme song). It was too expensive due to royalty payment costs.
I loved Kellie Martin. Never missed an episode because of her.
I thought she was awesome also. She was so perky, articulate, likeable...yet humble and relatable. Nothing but good qualities. Beautiful inside and out. No wonder she makes Hallmark movies now. I kinda wish I'd watched the Christy movies she did. You can't find them anywhere anymore-- WAIT. I see you can get the series on eBay for 30 or 40 bucks.
@@sterlingsubs awww so this is why I was named after this character 🥰🥺
@@beccalwoodward - Sweet! Welcome to the planet. We need all the Beccas we can get!
@@beccalwoodwardI love this!
@@sterlingsubsremember when she was on ER
feeling nostalgic today!!! I miss the old tv shows
Me too. I miss many things from the 80s and 90s.
I can’t believe its been like 40 years. I remember watching it when I just moved to Minnesota.
Thank you Kellie Martin for being one of my 90’s crushes, first on Life Goes on then on ER. OP, thanks for posting.
She was amazing and still is! She pops up in Hallmark movies once in a while. I had a crush on her when I was a teen also.
She's still HOT!!!
i wanna cry how this takes me back
Go ahead. It's ok. I mourn the loss of those days as well. But no great story is without bad times interrupting the good.
like a tone a bricks man.
Bring back memories 🥰
Loved this show in the late 80's and early 90's!
I remember my mom brother and I watching this every week when it came on in the 90s. The intro and show and song and time period and nostalgic feelings from then is everything.
According to Wikipedia this show was on when I was between the age of 3 until just before my 7th bday. Crazy that I can vaguely remember it, I particularly remember a story line about some kid getting AIDS and everyone freaking out because they didn't know how it was transmitted, or there was a lot of misinformation like you could get it from a toilet seat. But the main thing I remember is this opening song and how I'd sing along to it.
It's so freakishly weird... I watched this show as a kid and identified with the show's kids (Becca and her friends), not really understanding the parents' perspective.
Now, more than thirty years later, having watched this clip totally by accident, I saw myself in the father...
Life goes on, as they say. Maybe tomorrow I WILL use that stationary bicycle. 😉
Right, it was Becca’s boyfriend Jesse who was HIV-positive. That was unusual at the time to have a show that incorporated those kinds of issues, as well as having a major character with Down syndrome.
Chad Lowe, the actor who played Jesse McKenna, won a Primetime Emmy Award in 1993 for his work in the series.
Actually that AIDS plot sounds like an episode of 21 Jump Street from the same era. You may be confusing the two shows.
@@Nerval-kg9sm no that plot is correct for this show. Jessie got aids and everyone freaked out
Favorite part: BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! WHACK!! Patti had to stop the alarm like a boss.
Very groundbreaking for its time.
First show with a protagonist with Down syndrome.
Yes it was.
I always felt so d@mn sorry for that dog.
I loved this show so much
I barely remember this, just remember corky burning a house or restaurant down. The intro music made me sad cuz it was almost time to go to bed for school the next day.
I had forgotten about that too. I do remember thinking they made a bad choice in implying this is what having a downs kid is like. I don't think I made it through the episode. Tragedy overdone like the last years of Little House on the Prairie.
This song instantly brought back the Sunday night anxiety I felt every week....
Amen! I had the faintest recollection of this show from when I was a kindergartener or first grader... one of those memories where you aren’t positive if it was actually real or something your brain made up or pieced together from long loooong term memory to fuck with you! I thought I remembered the title card shot from the intro and that poor dog! Apparently little me loved animals too, and the shot of the pup with his empty food bowl wasn’t funny to me...
But aside from that pointless prologue, my first sensation was “school night!! =-(“
So I guess my brain DID record this for a reason Hahaha... to make sure I always have an association for “the weekend is over =-(“ sentiment...
I remember this. Such a long time ago
Thanks for sharing! One of my favorite shows that had heart, sensitivity and humor. I especially love the theme song with the cast singing along #lifegoeson
Agreed! It's one of my favorite shows ever, for those reasons.
Haven’t seen this since I originally saw it on television back in the day, but I always remembered the intro to the show and the song that played. 😂
Whenever i hear this original song, i remember my sister watching some tv-show where in the intro a girl walk to a fridgerator. This memory is about 30years old. Now i finally found this intro !
Don’t know why I started singing the theme to this song and yell sang the “hey” and the end … loved this show
Why not yell sing it? That's what they did. Glad you loved the show. Means you have good taste. : )
Back in the 90's, I remember Tuesday nights at around 8pm in my country - Family Matters and then Life Goes On. Really loved those shows.
Yes! TV was much more simple and innocent then. There were less channels and maybe only a handful of shows to consider must-see. The days when we all tended to watch the same shows last night-- are pretty much over.
moment when the world still beautiful....
It still is. We just have to look harder. Though I miss those times so much.
The beauty is still there...It's just that there's a lot of ugly trying to block the view.
I was 7 when this show premiered and I had no idea Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da was a Beatles song. For many years after I just thought it was a theme song written for the show.
Sure, if you hadn't heard the Beatles song yet. They really don't play it very often.
I was 22 or 23 when the pilot aired. I remember liking it ,but I don't remember much it's been a long time. I thought I would give it a watch again wow how life goes on I'm 49 years old now.
You should get the DVDs and see what you think of the show through today's eyes. You can find Season 1 on eBay. Beyond that, it basically has vanished.
The showed aired in 1989. You were younger than 22/23.
Love the theme very catchy song 🎧! Life Goes On was a very good teeny bopper series for the time. To this day a classic. There’s no TV shows like Life Goes On anymore:(
I agree, it was a great show, and they just don't make wholesome family entertainment anymore. One of many things that have changed since the 80s that don't make sense.
I finally found this song from a remnant of my childhood.
Oh man, why can't life be this simple again?
Why oh why
If it helps, in 30 years, now will be considered a simple life.
@@mascarademermelada8746 sad but true because it feels like this is already way harder life than 20-30 years ago because it is
Yeah, back when you could proudly rock a mullet and people not only didn't care, IT ACTIVELY MADE YOU COOLER SOMEHOW!
@@mascarademermelada8746 I was about to say this. Everyone is nostalgic because life only ever gets harder.
I totally forgot about this show!! I used to watch this show religiously. I need to find it so I can watch it again💜
Season 1 is available on Amazon and Ebay. I've never seen the other seasons available at all. Not sure they were ever made.
Love this song. It makes me happy 😊
I love this show but the sad thing is I didn't watch it when it originally aired in the 1990's. What I do remember is a character named Becca sitting in front of her mirror and putting on her glasses, and the mom in the show, Libby played by Patti LuPone, (whom I recently discovered is nuts) outside in the front yard after just finding out she's pregnant at 40 years of age. But now after seeing the show in it's entirety, I know it's much more than that. It's a groundbreaking and phenomenal show that was very underrated and didn't get the love it deserves. I have a special place in my heart for Chris Burke, God Bless him.
Patti LuPone isn't nuts. She's an iconic legend
@@EyesofLauraMars Trust me, she's nuttier than a macadamia.
Brings back memories
Oh my the 80’s and 90’s
💖💖💖
It was mostly in the 90's (debuted Fall of 89)
@@TheHaloRed 👌
This show meant a lot to my mom and I growing up.
It's one of my all time favorites. TV was branching out in new ways at the time. Good ideas, good writing, new technologies-- and it was at a time when wholesomeness was still an important part of the entertainment landscape. We peaked in many ways in the mid 80s to mid 90s.
@@sterlingsubs i agree that we peaked. Music of every genre and even films of every genre were greater in the 90s. I admit that TV got better but only because it became more cinematic and took away a lot of what a film had to offer.
People have everything these days and appreciate none of it.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 - Absolutely! You are my people.
My Mom liked this show too. I have a mentally disabled sister. We're 3 years apart. It hit home to me. All the many challenges and struggles she went through.
@@angelagonzales885 my mom's best friend ended up having a child with downs syndrome in like 1998, and he's doing well now at age 25. It's still a struggle for her everyday but he is happy and they're happy too.
Brings back memories 🥰
My heart breaks at the casual cruelty of not feeding the poor dog. God Bless You, Arnold.
In my home my dog gets fed before i eat... and even if i don't have my own food i make sure the dog has plenty of food alwsys and nice clean fresh water always and is in perfect health.. the littlest thing ... right to the vet...
I always keep my baby girl boarder collie clean and groomed..
I keep the house clean and warm in the winter for her and air conditioned in the summer for her...
She has a nice highly cushioned orthopedic doggie bed and she loves it..
My dog comes first.. period..
They got so much hate mail for that scene. In the last episode, a bag of dog food spills open from a nearby cabinet, giving Arnold a chance to have his breakfast after four years.
@@drewzuhosky6826I remember that! I was so happy Arnold finally got to eat!
Después de años, por fin encontré el titulo de esta grandiosa serie.
¡Grande Curkie! 😄
And calling other kids "Corky" became popular on the playground for years to come.
I love this show and the theme song
Sadly, Arnold passed away shortly after from starvation.
LOL. Poor dog. Funny though, they couldn't even get away with the dog bit these days.
Do you know if Arnold the dog still alive?
@@kjm-4891 only if he can live into his 30’s
"We're going to have the cast sing the theme song!"
"Okay."
"It's a Beatles song."
"Oh-kayyy..."
"And you have to blend your voice in with Patti LuPone's."
"...."
Exactly! Good point. We rolled pretty simply in the 80s. Critics were fewer and less vocal then. Consider the awful synthesizer music in so many 80s movies, even big ones.
Wow the guy in the cars mega mullett
Couldn't be a cool celeb back then without one. I often wonder what trends we have today that will age that bad. Most of them?
I miss being a kid!!! Mid 80s baby here!!!! That poor furbaby
Patti Lupone has a beautiful voice
She is good but she can't hit the high notes like Evita.
This is such a catchy song 🎵! I love ❤️ it!
I used to laugh when the dog dropped the dish
Yep, me too. Poor dog.
At the very end of the series doesn’t the dog’s food fall over during the intro and he starts to eat all of it? I think I remember that.
Poor Arnold
@@laland5752: Yes. That was the series finale.
@@jonathank8057 thanks!
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Life Goes On. It brought the struggles of a son who, despite having Celebral Palsy, was treated as a normal kid by his famiky.
Me too. We need many more shows like this.
This show's worst episode was better than most of the shows on TV now!
@@mikewrasman5103 I concur! The purpose of the show was to better humanity through positive lessons. Today's shows have a... different purpose.
You mean Corky? He didn't have Cerebral palsy. He had down syndrome.
That's probably what Mike meant to say.
Catchy tune
La veía todos los días por las mañanas! Iba a la escuela en la tarde... 🤗
You were lucky to see the show every day!
Loved this show
That Toyota Supra really nails the era more than anything else.
You are so right! I loved Supras as a teen and I wanted it every time I saw the intro. And I still want it!
I remember watching reruns of this show back in the mid or maybe it was the late 90's. :) Just hearing this intro has unlocked a long forgotten memory.
So weird I remember the song being slightly different, a little more instrumental and faster paced and a singular woman singing rather than a group of people. I guess that was just a Mandela effect
I so miss life goes on. I’m getting the dvds.
That was such a good show. Wish they would stream it
I've never seen it available to stream anywhere! Only season 1 is available on DVD on eBay. I think I read there's copyright issues with a lot of the commercial music played throughout the series. It's a shame. I've been looking for remaining seasons a long time.
This show needs to be in reruns or at least be released on dvd beyond season 1. Nothing against waltons and little house but why r they on several channels? And life goes on is part of lost television 📺 😕 🙃
I agree completely. I did hear that there are some licensing complications due to commercial music in later seasons. Not sure the full truth is able to be found. But wholesome shows with wholesome messages often seem to go by the wayside, in favor of the unwholesome stuff taking precedent.
I miss this show
Great good old days
Legend has it that the dog is still waiting for his food.
He'd be just a skeleton at this point.
Corky is one smart dude.
He has a band. He’s on RUclips
This show was these best rep for raising a family when you have a child with downsyndrome.
The show where I developed a major crush on Kellie Martain. lol
Such a good show.
Yes! So what did you deconvert from?
@@sterlingsubs Christianity. My book on that is called "caught between an infinite hope and fintie dispar"
I loved this show. I used to watch it.
this was a great tv show
Can't remember the last time my family would tune into this prime time drama series. According to Wikipedia, this was perhaps the first time Down Syndrome was depicted in a TV show.
It was the first time Down Syndrome was depicted. It broke new ground. Ironically, the entire industry lost interest in helping raise awareness and respect for this group. The handicapped, the old, the unattractive... have no one sounding alarms when they are disrespected. There's no political gain in it.
I still remember this theme song that's why I looked it up. I was around 10 or 11 years old when I watched this show. Long ass intro though hahahahaha.
I'm excited for the reboot
The what? You are kidding.
Unforgettable good serie. Why dont they make things like that any more? Too sad
I miss my childhood days!!!! I'm using my late mum's account
"Theres a little doggy in the marketplace..." And no, I'm not using doggy lyrics cuz theres a dog in the opening, I use doggy lyrics in place of many songs. "Obla Di Obla da, dogs go o-on"
This was a delightful show. It ended way too early.
I used to love this show
¡Que recuerdos!
My parents told me I used to run to the TV and dance when this into song played when i was 1 or 2. I told them nope I never did that then my dad played the song and I knew exactly what he was talking about. It was like something clicked when I heard it.
Legend has it the dog is still waiting
Man, how time flies…
Legend has it the dog is still waiting to be fed
He's dead. But yes, still waiting.
Poland 🇵🇱❤
I loved this show. Corky was my favorite character
This was must see TV before NBC's so-called must see TV, which wasn't must see TV!
HMmn NBC must See had some great shows your nostalgia is clouding your judgement.
Sheesh 2 mins of the show was the intro, times sure have changed(thankfully). Never watched this show, I wonder what we watched in my household at that timeslot
True, we don't have such long repetitive intros anymore. They used to give you a chance to go get your snacks and saddle up. Now it's much shorter. They don't want to lose that time that could be sold for commercials. I liked it better the old way. I liked that these old shows would teach life lessons that weren't rooted in politics, just common sense love and honor.
@@sterlingsubs So tired of politics. I read an article about a dog alerting his owners to a house fire and somehow both Trump and Biden were mentioned in the comment section. Just want to have unpolluted entertainment
@@Mosie926 Yes! Me too. It used to be this way. You would like Life Goes On. You can still find season 1 to purchase.
@@sterlingsubs I'll look for it
Corky was the man!!!
He showed a strength that most people will never begin to understand or appreciate.
He fought the power and won. Legend.
Becka aka Kellie Martin... my love!
This show is was very popular here in Venezuela...
Funny how when something is good, it's good across all cultures.
Nostalgia right here! Thank you for the upload! Which season's intro was this one?
I'm not totally sure! Maybe some fans will eventually post the answer.
@@sterlingsubs Thank you for the feedback🙏
@@sterlingsubs p0p
I think this was season two. Monique Lanier appeared in the season one opening credits as Paige. Then after Tracey Needham took over the role of Paige, I think she started appearing in the season three opening credits.

Somebody feed the damn dog!
Cuando la televisión era buena y daba 1 mensaje positivo no la porquería de ahora

Obviously you don't watch the right shows today. You're probably watching the Disney Channel looking for shows like this because there are amazing shows out there today. "Game of Thrones" was amazing and so is/was "Nip/Tuck", "Cobra Kai", "Chucky", "The Witcher", "The Wheel Of Time" and many MANY more.
@@mikeawesome9212 People lament not being able to find wholesome, heartwarming shows anymore. The shows you mention have great writing, editing, special effects etc... but don't promote much love, honor, respect etc. We older folks grew up in an era where love, kindness, and trust in neighbors was the norm. TV was much more simple, less commercial, and trustworthy. We hung with friends and neighbors more, and TV was just more of a filler of extra time. It wasn't brilliant like now, but we didn't mind.
Every so often this song plays in my head and has been doing so for over 30 years. I never knew what it was. I vaguely remember the lyrics but the tune was there. I'm 36, this show must have been something my parents watched. I can't believe I found it!
It's a Beatles song.
