One other theme song for a situation comedy in the 1970s that I wanted to bring forward was for the show, Maude:
...Isadora was the first bra-burner,
And you're glad she showed up,
(Oh, yeah!)
And when the country was fallin' apart,
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up...
And then there's Maude -
...
On You Tube, go to the video titled,
Maude theme: and then there's Maude

...and Play!
At the end of the theme song it says, "Right on, Maude!"
"Right on" is such a 1970 to 1973 expression.
On the TV show "Maude" her neighbor was "Vivian" who was portrayed by actress Rue McClanahan.
Next, in the 1980s, there was a television situation comedy called The Golden Girls that starred Beatrice Arthur (Maude) and Rue McClanahan (Vivian).
They both came into the public consciousness with the weekly TV show "All In The Family" - Beatrice Arthur starred in an episode where she was Edith's cousin, and she came to take care of everybody when they were sick.
And Rue McClanahan was in an episode where Edith wrote to some people who advertised in a magazine, and they wanted to "wife-swap." And she didn't know...
