Default Bon Jovi songs on Tv Series

Doing a search on youtube looking for some Tv series of my childhood/adolescence, I found this episode of Baywatch, and to my surprise sounds one Jovi song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poFH...t=17m04s%20%28

know if there have been other tv series that have used Bon Jovi songs?

Some songs from Stranger In This Town could have been very cool in any episode of Baywatch, as River of Love and One Light Burning.

Wow, never knew that they used a BJ song on Baywatch. Used to watch that show as a kid - it was immensely popular in Germany in the mid-90's. But then again, the first saison was shot around 1989 when they were superstars in the USA.

I vaguely remember that a Richie Sambora song was used in Beverly Hills 90210 and they used Superman Tonight in a promo clip for some series that I can't remember the name of right now (something with doctors).

I remember Superman Tonight was used in a promo for USA network for their various shows. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard the chorus to the song. Not sure about doctors, I know What do you got was used in a promo for Grey's Anatomy almost the day after it premièred at radio.

You Give Love A Bad Name was used in How I Met Your Mother. It's on Barney's party mix and during that episode the beginning of the song is played over and over again.

And not a song but during one episode of King of Queens Doug brings home Bon Jovi's latest record: Crush! (Gee, I'm old )

In The Office, Dwight plays You Give Love a Bad Name on the flute in one episode.

Did anyone ever tell you that you have an unusually long middle finger?

Prayer was featured prominently in an episode of The Goldbergs and someone told me it was also used in an episode of Baby Daddy called "Livin' on a Prom." When Bon Jovi had that "Featured Artist" deal with NBC their songs were used in many NBC shows for that month as part of the deal, but I don't have a list. An episode of Who's the Boss also used Prayer in the 80's, but they did not use the real version although the dialogue went something like this:
Stranger: "Don't you just love Bon Jovi?"
Angela: "Is that what you're wearing?"

I am pretty sure I've seen a clip of Supernatural using Wanted or maybe it was just the characters singing it.

There have been a lot of Bon Jovi references through the years too. Just last week on Modern Family, Claire wanted to get rid of Phil's banjo and he said, "But you called me Banjovi."

No, actually. But I'm glad you were the first.

Make A Memory in Criminal Minds S3E2 "In Name and Blood." It will be the first thing you hear in that episode. Coincidentially, that would also be the Mandy Patinkin (Agent Gideon)'s last appearance in the show.

There's an episode of The Big Bang Theory where Amy is playing Wanted on the harp.
