Can You Guess This TV Theme? #21 - Answer

"Oh mylanta!" this show was good!

I'm super excited! John Stamos has announced that he's trying to make a 'Full House' reunion!!!!

Danny Tanner, Jesse Katsopolis, Joey Gladstone played three father figures to three adorable children, D.J., Stephanie and Michelle Tanner.

Did you know that the initial premise of the show was based on three single stand-up comedians (played by Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier) living together and was titled "House of Comics", until it was changed to the family program 'Full House'?

Also, did you know that Uncle Jesse's last name was Cochran, until the second season when it was changed to Katsopolis? And he was originally supposed to be "Uncle Adam", but John Stamos liked "Uncle Jesse" better...

On an ending note, I got to see John Stamos play drums with 'The Beach Boys', at a hot air ballon festival in Tustin in the mid 90's! It was awesome! He's so dreamy!

Did you know that during all 8 seasons of 'The Andy Griffith Show', it was ranked in the top ten in the Nielsen Ratings? And the show is one of only three shows, including 'Seinfeld' and 'I Love Lucy', that ended their series at the top of the Nielsen Ratings.

Sheriff Andy Griffith, Deputy Barney Fife, Opie, Aunt Bee, Floyd the Barber, and Gomer and Goober Pyle bumbled around Mayberry for 8 seasons and 249 episodes.

This show made Ron Howard a household name. Geez, if only he had gotten off his ass to accomplish something after leaving 'The Andy Griffith Show'



Don Knotts won five Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Deputy Barney Fife. Andy Griffith wasn't even nominated for his role as Andy Griffith!



Did you know that the theme was whistled by songwriter Earle Hagen. Also, did you know that the theme, titled 'The Fishing Hole', was was originally written with words...

Here are the song and the lyrics:

Well, now, take down your fishin' pole, and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,

We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away.

What a great place to rest your bones, and mighty fine for skippin' stones,

You'll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.



Whether it's hot, whether it's cool, oh what a spot for whistlin' like a fool.



What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by The Fishin' Hole,

I can't think of a better way, to pass the time o' day.



We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin' Hole,

There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.



If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dewy grass,

Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.



Hangin' around, takin' our ease, watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas.



Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,

I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.

From 1960 to 1972, for 12 seasons and 369 episodes, 'My Three Sons' owned the airways... 369 episodes! We're lucky if shows, well shows that don't star Heidi and Spencer Pratt (have you seen 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!'? What a waste of space!) are on the air for more than one episode.

I'm not basing this on any information, other than my limited research, but I think this was the first show ever with a single father raising kids. I guess 'Make Room For Daddy' showed Danny Thomas as a single father for a season, but the mother was in the show initially. Does that count?
