Yeah no wonder the generations that came after X all look so miserable. When grunge hit, the world started to suck, on TV and music everything was about drugs and violence and they grew up then.
Well, not everyone. The actor who played Monroe was forced to be closeted even though he played the character super gay. The show even gave him a girlfriend for one season. There's always another layer to glossy red-tinged nostalgia.
no it's not only you, theme songs back in these good old days and even earlier make everyone feel so happy and wonderful inside. Classic TV is the best stuff to watch, they make me happy cause they bring bach lovely memories
*Everything you said is nothing but Facts, LORD willing ill be 47 tomorrow so I remember the 80's and hearing this Theme song takes me to a wonderful place that I can feel, smell, touch and taste plus my brain is flooded with nothing but great memories so what you wrote I felt EVERY WORD and I TRULY hope your in a good place and all I ask is that you have a GREAT DAY and a AMAZING LIFE MY new Friend👼🏾🙏🏿✌🏿*
Ted knight died when i wuz 5 and I still miss him! They way he looked when he got mad was always hilarious to me! Such a Great actor! Loved him since Caddyshack
Hamzah Elsulayman Yeah he was just phenomenal and fun to watch along with Monroe. If you didn’t know Monroe was later on Nickelodeon “Ned’s declassified school survival guide” as I think a teacher or principal
This came out before i was born,( im a 90s baby), and i love it. along with the 80s music to..seems like the best time was the 80s, but I'll never know..
In each episode Ted Knight would wear a different college/university sweater--this became so popular that many schools sent him sweaters in the hope he would wear them on the show

Hootyhaha Hootyhaha Monroe was in the opening credits from seasons 2-6. TCFC was cancelled by ABC in 1983, but Metromedia bought the show and aired new episodes in first-run syndication for three more seasons. The last season underwent a revamp, with the new 'Ted Knight Show' title. Even at that, there was supposed to be a TCFC Season 7/TKS Season 2, if it weren't for Knight's death in August 1986.
It sure was good clean fun Brilliance beautiful backdrop beautiful San Francisco beautiful actors I miss these days I was a little kid and I can remember the music coming on in the den of the house if y'all know what a den is y'all know that night that used to come on it was still coming on when shows had to be continued to next week to see the otherepisode that was extended wow don't know what a lot of people went through back in the 80s this was a clean time for my sister and myself only two kids two of us we could watch the shows like this man all the shows of the 80s the comedies were brilliant God bless everybody that had anything to do with any of the comedies who produces the writers we damn sure didn't have to worry about Facebook back then in any social media the way we worrying today this was a good show rest in peace Ted Knight AKA back in the day Mary Tyler Moore show🤣😉👍🍾🤷♂️🥳 it was really was some good old days. I miss them dearly❤🥂
Man I used to watch this years ago and I mean 2014 or 2015 when they used to air it on Antenna Tv I think. I miss this actually cause it was one of the few that I hadn’t seen in long while. I mean all the characters were so funny and the theme songs were so catchy. :’)
I always remember poor Henry Rush always lost it with Monroe and I never forget when Little Baby Andrew Rush was introduced to the cast. I also never get over him not realizing there was no backrest on a couch of theirs.
I remember watching it as a kid in the 80's in France but unfortunately our national french tv never aired it again :( . They rerun many american sitcoms but not this one . I don't know why as it was so funny and I loved to see all the different university sweaters Mr.Rush used to wear . Just saw a few late seasons almost 40 years ago and still miss that time . I thought about this sitcom so many many times in my life and a few years ago I found out the original title , in english " Too close for comfort " . So far , to me it was " Chacun chez soi " ( means " Each in his own home / place " ) .
Everything about this screams 1980s! A simpler time, especially compared to today. I for one miss great, fun, heartwarming and genuninely funny sitcoms you could watch with your family from that time like Too Close For Comfort, Diffe'Rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, Benson, 227, Mama's Family, The Wonder Years, Family Ties, The Cosby Show, Growing Pains, Full House, Who's The Boss, Amen, Roseanne, Gimmie a Break, and The Golden Girls.
I was aware of this series however I did not watch it. I did love him as Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore show. Oh my god! 😂 The intro to his show. I had one of those little TVs like on the kitchen table in there where they're at.
This showed proved the networks wrong. ABC cancelled the show, and then in syndication it produced a couple more years with good ratings. In fact if Ted Knight had not passed away when he did, I’m sure it would have had another good season afterwards.
OMG where can I find this show again?! I just looked everywhere and can't find it. Netflix only has season 1 on DVD only and the only DVDs available for it to even buy is season 1, 2 and 3. As far as anyone knows seasons 4, 5 and 6 don't exist or were never officially released. Damn! I want to see everything again especially the later seasons because that's what I remember the most. Monroe! LOL And I love the theme music too. Nostalgia...
God. monroe drove henry rush crazy. but then again monroe was like a son to henry rush because henry didn't have any sons of his own until his son, andrew was born in the third season and it was a late pregnancy for muriel rush as she was 42 when she had andrew and there could've been a lot of complications with the pregnancy and the childbirth for muriel, and mr. rush was also pretty old too to be raising a young child, he was probably somewhere in his fifties when andrew was born. so they both probably really thought about whether they wanted to go ahead with having the child when they found out that muriel is pregnant or probably have an abortion.
How old are Sara and Jackie? I thought they looked like they were in their 30s, and I also thought Muriel looked a little young to be their mom. Also, what brought Monroe to live with the family if he wasn't initially a part of them?
jackie was 21 because she was working in a bank, so she was pretty much an adult and sara was either 18 or 19, she was a college student so she was a young adult as well.
muriel probably married really young against her parents' wishes. she eloped with henry. she was probably fresh out of high school or had just graduated high school. she married henry at 18 and probably had jackie at 20 and sara at 22 or 23. muriel was a lead singer in a band and dated the drummer for a while.
monroe is sara's awkward college friend and classmate. he tries too hard to fit in and usually ends up making the situation worse and raises henry's blood pressure.
The sound is great but the annoying thing is they skipped a few bars of music and inserted bars at other places, which makes it incoherent. I doubt Johnny Mandel would have approved. (Assuming he only wrote the original and was not involved in episode music)
Was the 1985 years the only time Manroe was on the opening credits? This show is said to have ended in 1983. I wonder if producers just re-edited the intro and continued syndicating the episodes?

Robert Nieves Audrey Meadows became a series regular in season 3, after guest starring in earlier seasons. She appeared in the opening credits as a “Special Guest Star”, but appeared in most episodes. The final episode of that season involved the Rushes building a room for her in the attic, so they were setting it up for her character to live in the house. But the show moved into first-run syndication and the budget was cut, so Meadows was no longer a regular character. Her character moved back to Chicago, and she went back to true guest star status, appearing just a couple of times a year.

The good old days when tv was worth watching had everyone in a good happy mood.
Yeah no wonder the generations that came after X all look so miserable. When grunge hit, the world started to suck, on TV and music everything was about drugs and violence and they grew up then.
Yes !! I miss the 80s tv shows
Well, not everyone. The actor who played Monroe was forced to be closeted even though he played the character super gay. The show even gave him a girlfriend for one season. There's always another layer to glossy red-tinged nostalgia.
This theme and the shot of The Golden Gate bridge are two of my favorite memories from my childhood.
no it's not only you, theme songs back in these good old days and even earlier make everyone feel so happy and wonderful inside. Classic TV is the best stuff to watch, they make me happy cause they bring bach lovely memories

Ted Knight was awesome. Ted was great in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Too close for comfort, great actor.
This show was great 👍🏽 I tried so hard to look and act like Jackie. I missed their chemistry RIP Ted Knight
Thanks for posting this... one of my favorite TV themes... I have fond memories of watching this show with my grandmother as a kid :)
So '80s. Love it.
"MONROOOOE!" lol
Is it just me or do theme songs and credit beds have something that makes you feel good inside?

Yes it was antenna tv..i watched shows on that channel all the way back to the 50s but this was my fav.
Ted Knight great actor played the judge in caddyshack 😂🤣👍
I always remember poor Henry Rush always lost it with Monroe and I never forget when Little Baby Andrew Rush was introduced to the cast. I also never get over him not realizing there was no backrest on a couch of theirs.
I think it was a two part episode. When Monroe had to rush to the hospital on the motorcycle was hilarious!!
Oh ya when he drove Muriel into the Hospital on his Motorbike. He sure caused Henry alot of headaches.

Best TV Theme Ever
I agree Robert Owens.
Damn I love all Too close for comfort theme intro s from seasons 1-5.
Nancy Dussault was a co-host on "Good Morning America" when it first debuted in 1975 (with David Hartman)

Six seasons of original episodes was a pretty decent achievement.
Nice theme song 😊
glad grew up in the 80s watching shows like this
0:35 Lydia Cornell is some kind of angel sent from above, tilt!
This was probably written by Alan Thicke. He wrote alot of TV shoe themes back in the day as well as the Growing Pains theme
Written by Johnny Mandel guy who wrote Mash theme

The entire series now streams on Tubi.
Cool wow Godloveyou much
Production moved back to Metromedia Square starting in season 4 even though the pilot episode was shot there.
Good show
I remember when he wore a sweatshirt from little Ripon College in Wisconsin.
Some of the best comedies take place in San Francisco. Full House, My Sister Sam, Mrs. Doubtfire…
Rest in peace
Does anyone have any episodes they can upload on RUclips.
How many intros did this show have!?!?! Lol
If an actress were to play my grandmother in a television sitcom Nancy Dussault would be the appropriate actress for the role. 0:27
This version was well garnished with extra instruments, but it seems it was sped up a bit too.
TV time very expensive.

you could hear that as the seasons went on the opening theme became more modern. In the first season it had a more "conservative" sound to it.
Yeah it's a lot faster! Less jazzy feel than the first! They added that signature 80s drum kit beat!
The sound is great but the annoying thing is they skipped a few bars of music and inserted bars at other places, which makes it incoherent. I doubt Johnny Mandel would have approved. (Assuming he only wrote the original and was not involved in episode music)
I liked this version too better.
Was the 1985 years the only time Manroe was on the opening credits? This show is said to have ended in 1983. I wonder if producers just re-edited the intro and continued syndicating the episodes?
Monroe was in the opening credits since Season 2.

What season did Audrey Meadows come on? I remember her being in the opening credits.
Robert Nieves Audrey Meadows became a series regular in season 3, after guest starring in earlier seasons.

The final episode of that season involved the Rushes building a room for her in the attic, so they were setting it up for her character to live in the house.

Her character moved back to Chicago, and she went back to true guest star status, appearing just a couple of times a year.
For those curious, "Harrison Frambo Page" is the same Harrison Page that starred in "Supertrain" and "Sledge Hammer".
They need this on MeTV.
They have it on PlutoTV, one of those free-to-stream internet channels. under their "TV Land Sitcoms" channel, it airs on Saturday Nights.
And it recently returned to Antenna TV.
Currently it airs weekdays at 4pm ET and Saturdays at 3pm ET.

Does Nancy Dussault remind anyone else of Dianne Weist?
They misspelled Jim J Bullock on more than 1 season.
It wasn't misspelled. "Jm." is the abbreviation for James, and that's how Jim chose to be billed in the Screen Actors' Guild for many years.
Henry Rush! Don't you know that's it's not nice to talk with your mouth full after eating?
JM J. as Monroe was kind of a proto-Urkel. He was intended to be a supporting character but wound up kind of stealing the show to a degree.
Hey jerry
Looka like a Phillip!
Jerry Racca all sissys goin t hell!
I love this show and intro from season 1 thru 5 but didn't care for season 6 intro
