I kind of lean toward Peter Gunn, but there are so many.
Mancini wrote it, btw.

Just a quirk of JohnRob’s code
Theme from Hawaii 5-0. When I hear it I think I can do anything!
Combat! With Vic Morrow.
“Car 54, Where Are You?”
There’s a holdup in the Bronx!
Brooklyn’s broken out in fights!
There’s a traffic jam in Harlem that’s backed up to Jackson Heights!
There’s a scout troop short a child!
Krushchev’s due at Idlewild!
Car 54, where are you?
Petticoat Junction. Lot’s of curves you bet, even more when you get to the junction.
I always like the piano opening of Hill Street Blues. A light, catcny tune juxtaposed against the scenes of cop cars barreling out of the station and stuff....
The Name of the Game
Peter Gunn, but I also love the theme from The Musketeers (British show):

“Well it’s a Jungle Out There” theme from the Monk TV Show.
Hawaii Five-O theme charted thanks to the Ventures. No-one can beat that.
Spy shows had some great ones. I Spy included.
“WKRP”
I 2nd that.
Back when we still had composers:
“Hawaii Five-O” and “The Avengers” are tied for first.
Honorable mention, in no particular order:
“Gunsmoke” (original version)
“The Honeymooners”
“The Virginian”
“Perry Mason”
“Route 66”
“Baretta”
On the lighter side, for sheer iconability:
“The Andy Griffith Show”, “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “Green Acres”
WINNER.
Trailer Park Boys.
So relaxing.
You can tell how old each of us are by the answers to this. Well, sort of. There’s a bit of wiggle room I suppose.
Agreed.
The Theme for the Rockford Files.
