The cast of the new [NBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-cane-brownie) show 'Guys with Kids' stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform the 'History Of TV Theme Songs.' It's hard not to get a good feeling as they recap all the best television theme songs of the past.

In many TV shows today, the theme song is no longer a key part of the show. Jimmy Fallon, Anthony Anderson, Jesse Bradford and Zach Cregger all come together in this skit to perform an amazing medley of the shows that had [memorable introduction songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-new-sound).

The gang revisited popular songs like the theme songs for Happy Days, Cheers, Friends, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saved By The Bell and more. The four actors even choreographed dance routines, and closer to the end, they had the entire studio audience involved.
