In this episode of Black Sitcom History, we turn up the volume and dive into the unforgettable theme songs that defined Black sitcoms. From the soulful harmonies of The Jeffersons’ “Movin’ On Up” to the upbeat energy of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, these theme songs set the tone for beloved shows and became cultural anthems in their own right.

Whether it’s the funky basslines of Good Times, the smooth R&B of Moesha, or the gospel-infused power of Amen, these intros weren’t just catchy—they told a story.
Throughout the episode, we break down the musical influences behind these theme songs, the artists who performed them, and their lasting impact on pop culture. How did these themes shape our first impressions of these shows? Why do they remain so iconic today? And which ones still get stuck in our heads decades later?
