elton john was on one episode

sprig5 (still a lurker only) just sent me part of the lyrics to the theme from "Good Times" (the TV show). They reminded me of a TV lyric I rather like, and from which I get a bit of a boost now and then. It's rather philosophical, considering how silly the show usually was. Can you get it from the first couple of lines?

This is it! (this is it!)
This is life, the one you get
So go and have a ball.

This is it! (this is it!)
Straight ahead, and rest assured
You can't be sure at all.

So while you're here, enjoy the view
Keep on doin' what you do
Hold on tight; we'll muddle through
One day at a time,
One day at a time.

So up on your feet (up on your feet)
Somewhere there's music playing.
Don't you worry none---
We'll just take it like it comes:
One day at a time.

I'm stumped! Extra frustrating because I can just barely recall a melody with This is it! This is it! in it--but that might be the old Coke is it! jingle.
Always inspiring to me was the Greatest American Hero theme, probably because the guy never really got the hang of flying. That's humanity, right there.

Perhaps you were spared the sitcom "One Day At A Time," about a divorced mother of two, one of whom would go on to marry Eddie Van Halen, the other of whom---the daughter of the Papa from the Mamas and the Papas---would go on somewhat notorious drug abuse.

I forget the name of the actress who played their mother. She had red hair---might have been going for a Captain & Tenille woman look. The most popular character on the show, as I recall, was the building super, Schneider.
