Simon & Simon theme

[jimbo282buckeroo]

Best TV show intro theme ever in my op. Still find myself whistling it sometimes and I haven't see the show in beau coup years.

[anakina1]

This was a great show and I think it under rated. The more serious ones were excellent, but this was a show I always looked forward to watching with my dad. Magnum on Wednesday and this on Thursday.

[jgunn03]

I had the total hots for Parker.

I guess I was into blondes when I was 8 years old.

[cflo1386]

Thumbs up if you think the Fall Guy's truck is a better looking truck

[carebearstrue]

I miss this show as a kid growing up in the home of the Padres & Chargers & Sockers & Gulls, SAN DIEGO!!!!!!!!!

[rantingrants]

@myroscoe77 it's called Simon & Simon Double Play

[giuliano1276]

If you grew up in San Diego during the 80's this was your favorite show. Fact.

[410missmonkeyful]

i have a confession, never watched the show but i LOVE the theme music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[myroscoe77]

New here and have been watching and enjoying episodes. Question - does anyone know the name of the episode where Rick keeps having nightmares about going down a staircase and in the end, it kind of comes true? Thanks for any help/input.

[jrmetmoi]

The blond guy looked good. Hopefully he's DILFing it or even GILFing it in style today like Pierce Brosnan or something (hopefully)

[jrmetmoi]

I love the theme music

[ELFLACO75010]

simon et simon, mortel!!!

[gallafey]

Simon & Simon this used come on a friday evening during the summer on ITV if i can remember

[pjmalamo]

One of my favorite show of the 80's, along with Airwolf!

[videozfann]

@pjmalamo Knight Rider, A-team, Magnum PI, Fall Guy.

[4JayeP]

This was back in the day when people had an attention span of longer than 10 min.

[kd4pba]

The Cow bell is what really makes this song

[pogovox]

Barry De Vorzon wrote both theme songs for this show, which are awesome! He has done a lot of music for movies, including "The Warriors."

[videozfann]

I gave the 1000 like and there should be more.

[WolfysPanther]

My sweet, loving, and caring, little kitten Whiskers use to run and chase, His adopted cat brother, Oliver and me around the house. When, This song came on it was very cute. Whiskers, apparently had great taste in this show's theme song. When, The three of us seen it with my brother sometime in 2010 to early 2011. Whiskers, May have passed away. But, He will be missed dearly. And he lives on; in the hearts of... Me, Oliver, My brother, and My boyfriend.

[GermanRockBase]

classic xD

[cemeterytan]

Starring a post-lap-band Kevin James and Ted Nugent...

[DawnYzag]

Oh man I loved this show when I was a kid.

[videozfann]

@DawnYzag I like it now and I am 40.

[trierbuffys]

wegen diesen 2 wollte ich auch immer privat detektiv werden :-)

[wingman572]

i love this tune, who does it?

[cooltusk]

oh yes, please I need more "cow bell"!

[jrmetmoi]

It sounds like Hurt So Good by John Cougar Mellencamp

[Lisica2008]

I remember when Jameson Parker played Brad on One Life to Live not long before he got this role.

[TWFsbeast]

i remember this show

[ImmortalfireTheMod]

What a kickin theme, even today.

[CustomMemoriesDemos]

Tuesday Nights. Simon and Simon, Moonlighting and Riptide. Don't make em like they use ta!

[monsoon2500]

i always loved this theme, so glad they changed from the season 1 theme!!

[scamgrammy]

Good theme song but i'm watching season 1 on 7mate and this isnt the theme?

[briank383]

@scamgrammy Yeah this isn't the actual original theme song, though they did use it for like one or two episodes during season 1, it became the permanent theme to start off season 2. I actually forgot about the first theme until I bought the DVD's, it kinda grew on me but I still prefer this one.

[Wellch]

I remember Gerald McRaney in the TV show Major Dad too.

[TheGreekMan1981]

I feel sorry for all the kids being born now adays. They missed all the great stuff of the 70's and 80's. It is pretty sad when you have to claim shitty shows like Two and a Half Men and Jersey Shore as the top shows of an era. It would take me a week to name all the great shows of the 70's and 80's.....

[videozfann]

@TheGreekMan1981 Hear you on that!

[tnawcwvictoria]

Simon & Simon along w/The Dukes of Hazzard, Scarecrow & Mrs. King and Cagney & Lacey are some of THE Best TV Duos on CBS during the 1980's

also, this show was out when Universal Television still had Magnum, P.I., Knight Rider, Miami Vice, The Equalizer, Murder She Wrote, Street Hawk and even Airwolf, plus this show was out when Richard Dawson was still hosting Family Feud, Wink Martindale was still hosting Tic Tac Dough and Superfriends, The Joker's Wild and BULLSEYE were still on the air

[videozfann]

@tnawcwvictoria A-team, Hulk, and Hunter.

[1815ish]

Brings back memories,the 80's were cool.

[videozfann]

@1815ish if only to go back?

[1815ish]

@videozfann Oh ya.That would be great.

[MexxFromMars]

Gibt´s irgendwo ne Zeitmaschine, damit ich in diese geile Zeit zurück kann...

[memphistenn77]

And Yet another Great Show!!!!!!

[erichollywood2002]

I now know for sure that the opening scene was from the Geisel library at UCSD!

[mortician1974]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

I had an Uncle in law who thought it boast worthy that he was once mistaken for gerald macranney or whothehellever

[saxmanjpr]

Anyone know who the sax player is on this song?

[LegionIscariot]

Nice beat

[rick62173]

this was one of the better shows on tv at the time. alot of these old school tv shows were so much better than most of the crap on tv now.

[RCcowBoy23]

Should we get full coverage on the rental no we will be good, Some time later rental is engulfed in flames or full of bullet hole or........

[lastfunnyunicorn]

the good TV-Series of the 80´s. I love them. Sweet Boys!

[ChristineCAlb]

Don't remember the show-but another classic theme. Weren't they supposed to be brothers?

[bodger1223]

0:12 OUCH!

[EvermenEXE]

Hey what;s that building their in at the intro?

[erichollywood2002]

@EvermenEXE

UCSD's Geisel Library.

[DobbyJunior]

Been watching this series on Hulu for quite some time now! Remember it from my childhood and still love it today!

[swvcat1]

They both were sexy...but Jameson looked HOT at 0:30 . I used to watch this all the time. This show was great and had good stories. Loved it.

[samaxe1]

HULU.com is where you can watch episodes of S&S for hours.

[Robertahausen]

@samaxe1 WOOHOO!!

[keithsmove]

Made me determined to move to San Diego....

Of course its 20+ yrs later and Im still not there :(

[bigdannyg1969]

Loved this show. Another great action show of the 80's, and fun to watch as it had a good comedic side to the show. Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker were perfectly cast for this show. I really wish they still had shows like that on these days. Simon & Simon rules!

[dlbarnes]

See they no longer make shows that matter.

[lilafan100]

two and a ahlf men

[BobtailTM30]

Gerald McRaney was a HOTTT DADDY!!

[Usimonicus]

This show was always a little disappointing......always waiting for Rick to lay a beating on someone or blow their heads clean off with his .44 but 80's action series were always a little bit too sanitized.

[Robertahausen]

I love that truck!!!!

[marshalllucky]

@Robertahausen POWERWAGON ROCKS ;-)

[Robertahausen]

@marshalllucky I didn't care if the younger brother was supposed to be the more popular he didn't have a real chick magnet truck like that !! <3

[croftjeepnxxx]

@marshalllucky That was my first thought when watching the theme. Love that wrecker push bumper.

[tallthinwavy3]

The lighter with smile always gets me {;-P

[tallthinwavy3]

Simon & Simon is still on HULU

[GaryWayneVarner]

Magnum, the Simons, Hunter, Remington Steele, God I miss those shows!

[videozfann]

@GaryWayneVarner Knight Rider, A-team, Dukes Of Hazzard, Incredible Hulk, Hunter, Starsky And Hutch, Fall Guy to name some more.

[vieta1972]

I truely miss show's like this....

[videozfann]

@vieta1972 no doubt, think we all do.

[YouthFreedomFighters]

Is that guy at 0:35 training for the Navy SEALS?

[urbanmusicnow]

When theme songs defined the TV Show! Most of today's TV shows have no substance. I MISS the good ol' days!

[OptimoPryme]

thumbs up if you feel the song could use a lil more cowbell.

[EKB316]

@OptimoPryme Nah! That's one of those 80's themes where the rule of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies.

[ARakaLordBrilliant]

@OptimoPryme hahahahah SNL cowbell hahah epic son! 80's nostalgia at it's finest! living as a kid again.

[punchy001]

@OptimoPryme do a remix....:)

[tommyt1971]

@OptimoPryme Why, you gotta fevah?? %-D 

[OptimoPryme]

thumbs up if you feel the song could use a lil more cowbell

[libertycityguy]

Yeah those were the days. I loved this show. 

[snakeyes1985]

ah channel 2 cbs before the bullshit and trash they put on there today

[wizeguiz]

Loved the show! Bring back the 80's!

[WilllieMaysHays]

You don't fuck with major dad

[TrishaDishaWarEagle]

@WilllieMaysHays

The man has been married to Delta Burk for 20 years..

Nobody questions his toughness :)

[videozfann]

@TrishaDishaWarEagle LOL! good point!

[SuperAde1974]

I'd completely forgotten this show and theme song!!!!

[Bella200939]

0:23 is so cute.....:)

[seppie76]

I miss the 80s and their catchy themes. This song always reminds me of McCartney's "Venus and Mars".

[goraddy]

I loved this SHOW

[thesolaceseeker]

wow! i'd forgotten all about this show.. but the title seemed vaguely familiar somehow.. within seconds of watching this intro, the penny dropped and i had a major "oh yeah" moment. thanks for that oh yeah moment lol.

[Kammler03]

Thanx !! Great Serial !! And also great "title-track" !!!

[videozfann]

Glory days of tv. Different times and better times.

[whatisbestinlife]

From the mean streets of San Diego lol.

Great theme song and show. I miss this era of TV.

[videozfann]

@whatisbestinlife LOL! Who doesn't?

[pityification]

Wurde leider auf Kabel 1 noch nie gezeigt!?

[memphistenn77]

WHAT A GREAT SHOW!!!!!

[999danlenson999]

@ kzoframe Hek yeh!! Was beginning to wonder if I was the ONLY one who'd noticed that!

Box sets of Simon & Simon, Riptide, Fantasy Island & Magnum PI, plz : )

[omasters4]

Rick & A.J were cool dudes.

[samaxe1]

@spudtv; The car they drove had a Targa Top conversion. Just like the S15 jimmy in Riptide was custom for the show.

[destructivedandy]

I loved this as a kid. Gerald McRaney was a childhood hero (alongside Lee Majors as The Fall Guy) but then he ruined it by being evil in Deadwood! Haha

[Venkman007]

Ah, those were the days, weren't they? When TV themes weren't just a graphic and a couple of notes, and they lasted well past a minute.

Gerald McRaney FTW!

[FSinWCR]

...And so you see, Simon and Simon were not brothers in real life. Only on television.

[anonymousent]

ONE OF THE GREATEST 1 MINUTE THEME'S FROM THE 80s ....... WHERE THE HELL IS THE LOOP BUTTON ON HERE !!!! .....

[margheritadisavoia]

non lo ricordo

[ladysupermuffin]

ceeline ist ein simon faan, chch

[6869505]

Growing up, I loved Simon and simon! Especially loved the theme song..Tv today is just pure sh*t. Can't watch it. I'm still waiting on the 80's return. Feel old when they call MY era "Retro" now...

[sedona74]

TV NOW TOTALLY SUCKS:( w a few exceptions but it still is rare to find anything decent anymore and if you do it always seems to get 86'd:(

[RomanGlory]

I haven't seen or even thought of this show since I was a kid. Then this song just popped into my head the other day for no reason. Had to come here to check it out and reminisce. Thanks for uploading this!

[djjohns937]

Otra de las exelentes series de esa decada,q' vulvan a presentarlas x favor,eso si era exelente t.v..

[sabulba30]

@GayUOPXBoy10 me too man i listened to the theme song as a kid and changed it everytime it might have been a good show though but It was on the same time as family ties and shows like that I was watching

[gabyhelffhrittz]

I was crush on Gerald Mc Raney

[sunset4ever29]

Great theme song!

[Bella200939]

AJ is so cute.....:P lol......

[theblacksheep1000]

I want this as a ring tone!

[MrMessoblues]

Even if pizza was for supper, it'd have to wait until this theme song finished playing...!!!

[TheGreekMan1981]

@Love4SK  If it wasn't for freakin' moronic muslims it wouldn't be a problem =)

[TheGreekMan1981]

@traindude233 You are watching the right thing. Nothing but garbage on TV these days

[FRSFreeStatePlus]

This was a funny show with a good theme song

[Mugeen]

Wann gehts weiter?? Gleich gehts weiter!!

[kirinrex]

Ah, man. I miss this show.

[MGMLV]

Ahhhh memories.....great shows!! Don't make them like this now

[FrenzyandLazerbeak]

dont remember any details of the show I was like 8 years old

but I remember this cool into

[gunzgunzgunz100]

@traindude233 haha me to im 12 years old and i also watch this on RTV haha is i told my friends that i watch this they would call me a n00b!!!

[rizer80]

damn, i wanna born again as Rick Simon...

[impostergir007]

i was born in 1991 and this is by far one of the best shows i ever watched

[jephybean]

@traindude233 that is awesome. lol

[setpunk12]

the best episode of this was when they get hired by that old guy who keeps calling them "simon and schuster" lol

[tripps1997]

I used to have the biggest crush on AJ

[TheGreekMan1981]

@tripps1997 If you are from anywhere other than San Francisco that is cute.

[bloodhounds661995]

You will forever be remembered in our hearts

Magnum P.I.

A Team

Simon and Simon

Knight Rider

Macgyver

Hawaii Five 0

May you rest in peace.

[TheGreekMan1981]

@bloodhounds661995 How can you leave out Matlock, Columbo, and Sanford and Son...

[bloodhounds661995]

@TheGreekMan1981

My bad XD Matlock FTW! it's on weekdays on WGN \m/^.^

[Ziola28]

i wanted to marry rhe blonde haired one...still do ;)

[bloodhounds661995]

@Ziola28

Yeah AJ (Blonde) is cute but Rick (One with the stash) is bad ass XD

[LadyScorpio39]

i used to love this show when i was a kid. had a crush on gerald mcraney. didnt he marry delta burke?

[agenttorpor]

I liked Simon & Simon better when I thought they were lovers.

[410missmonkeyful]

DIDN'T WATCH THE SHOW, BUT I LOVE THE THEME MUSIC.

[gbinct]

The 80's at its finest.

[14DaveHunter]

I think the guy with the flame thrower was Ray Walston. He played Uncle Martin, on "My Favorite Martian".

[Southernman74]

2nd best tv theme.1st of course being the dukes of hazzard.

[tachsamea]

7 people grew up in the USSR and are jealous of American freedom. USA! USA! USA! (repeat three times)

[Gomindyourownloser]

at 40 seconds that is one kick ass Dodge truck I still think it rocks

[John27346]

Jeez, they make some desperate rubbish in the 80s.

[thedriver]

another great show from the 80's. i still have my mustache and pork chop sideburns!

[oldaliu]

Those were the days! When the world made a bit more sense than it does 2day & not so much crap was on the box!!!

[pukebag]

@oldaliu you got that right! Where have all the good times gone?

[landeverge]

@oldaliu totally agree,just wish sometimes,they'd get the message and just cancel some of today's stuff(hands up and admit defeat to match the 80's and 90's,but i guess we 're stuck with reality tv and the like)

..this was great show,though remember even wanting to rush in to catch the theme tune and others..magnum ,mcgyver etc..anyway,preaching to the converted!

[wantedman1000]

anyone who likes this show will like Psych on USA. Its sort of like a modern Simon & Simon

[sabulba30]

THis show was like the 80s version of the walkers texas ranger with chuck noris and the song was awesome rythm it was actually pretty good

[likethe70s]

I MISS shows like this...we unplugged the t.v years ago because of the filth!!

[zsifk]

This was a great show and an equally great theme.

[hrjert1]

the cinema snob should know this show

[spudtv]

Anybody notice that the T-Top roof of the Camaro is missing on the Camaro they drove? Was this a special conversion kit?

[DirkAction]

@spudtv Yes, there was a company that made a kit that converted t-tops in Z-28 and TransAms to a targa top. I think that they had a snap on cover for inclement weather.

[jetydosa]

The t-tops are just "out" @spudtv 

[jetydosa]

The T-tops are just "out"... @spudtv

[dalebot]

@spudtv No I did not notice that T-Top because I was looking at that mustache
