it's a great theme tune, and i liked the show. the intros are like a tourist advertisement for the town of brotherly love. too bad they don't show rocky balboa. i think it's odd that philadelphia's baseball team is called the "phillies". the name sounds like a nickname for the town. i can't think of any other team that's name sounds like a nickname for the team's town. if i were a philadelphian, i would ask for a different name for the team. maybe the philadelphia "liberty bells" would be best.
IM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS I WAS ON THIS SHOW IN 1979 I WAS ON THE EPISODE UNCLE CHEECH WHICH WAS DANNY DEVITO THE WHOLE CAST WAS GREAT I WAS ONLY 8 YRS OLD.I STILL HAVE MY EPISODE 30 YRS LATR ON A OLD VHS TAPE.I LIVE IN VEGAS NOW AS A SINGER/ACTOR BUT ONCE YOU STOP BEING A KID YOUR NOT WANTED AS MUCH ANYMORE BUT THIS WAS A GREAT SHOW THANKS FOR POSTING AND SHARING ALL STORIES. ROB
the intros for "angie"are much like a tourist ad for philadelphia. speaking of phila-, i think obama was secretly rooting for sestak against specter, though obama kept his promise by speaking in favor of specter publicly. "philadelphia" is the greek word for "brotherly love", and the town in pennsylvania was named for a town in what used to be the greek empire. when i watch this kind of intro, i get a bit jealous because i can't think of any tv show whose intro shows places where i have lived.
i barely remember this show but I sure wish they would bring it to dvd......and also I noticed in the season one opening compared to the season two opening, they had too many people in this first season...I wonder if it was because they cut the good characters out that it failed....but again i was very small when this show was on
i remember when this show was on ABC in late 70's when i was about 12--i had such a crush on tammy lauren- the young girl on show.after all these years--tammy grew up to be a beautiful woman!!
@rugged64 I would also buy "Angie" on a DVD release, my friend. This was such a warm show, and I agree wholeheartedly with Doris Roberts, this show should have been a hit.
Loved this show and hope it sees an eventual DVD release. it was a top 5 ratings hit the first season until ABC shuffled it around the 2nd season and killed it
I loved this theme song when it aired and still do. I was 15 at the time and I recorded the theme on audiotape using a mono cassette recorder so I could listen to it over & over again.
Man I remember this like it was yesterday!!! I havent seen this since it was new. Thanks so much for posting it. I always liked that show and was upset it didnt last long.
She was in Saturday Night Fever, wasn't she? I can't forget when that guy fell off the bridge...Angie was a lot more wholesome. This is about the beginning of the "renaissance" of the sitcom as we knew it in the 1980s. If you recall, all sitcoms had to have a jazzy upbeat theme after 1974 and they were big adult contemporary songs after The Love Boat. This style isn't dead, it's just BADLY DONE on the Disney Channel, where all ABC programming execs were exiled in the 1990s!
Absolutely incredible, brings back all the wonderful memories. Also, as I watched the panning of the camera during the credits, it was wonderful how it kept direct center on the Penn Statue, as it panned, slowly, as it looked first towards the Museum of Art; then Broad Street; and then it ended looking over towards the Delaware River.
The Season 1 theme I have on Tape as well as a the 2nd season theme. But the version of the 2nd season theme (the one that is posted on here) is from the net(somewhere)
I wish somebody post this show on youtube. I'll sit there and watch it one day.

I love how women TV stars were allowed to just be naturally beautiful back then. She was so pretty, in just her normal 80s clothes and normal weight.

Tammy still has the long hair. She's a good actress; I wonder why she was cut from Season 2.
brickmanonj 4 years ago
They never gave a reason as I remember. I presume she went to school outside of Philadelphia; and nothing was spoken of.
