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

Thank you! Yes! And how about Battlestar Galactica? The original series theme by Ted Philips. Bear McCreary revamped it for the remake.
The Prisoner (start and end of show).
The Addams Family.
Captain Kangaroo (1960s)
Johnny Quest.
Peter Gunn, hands down.
Written by the late, great Henri Mancini.
Fireball XL-5? You remember that one, too? One of my favorites. Boy that was a long time ago…
Jonny Quest - by Hoyt Curtin. I own the limited edition release by La La Land Records. I used a special program to create pseudo-stereo. It sounds superb.
My other nominee - which I also own by La La Land Records - is: The Wild Wild West - by Richard Markowitz. It is positively symphonic and cinematic.
I realize some purists object to pseudo-stereo of mono, but I do so not just for the stereo effect itself: Separating sounds along the stage makes the nuances more discrete; subtleties become audible that tend to be buried in what I call the “logjam effect”: all frequencies piled on top of each other, and then further muddied by being doubled in two mono channels, creating a phantom center signal.
Modern systems do not play true mono. There were true hi-fi mono systems back in the 1950s and 1960s. They sound cleaner than two identical stereo signals coming from two spaced stereo speakers: point source versus two overlapping identical sound sources with timing distortion depending upon where one is sitting. (One could make a true mono hi-fi system, of course; most do not know to do so, or do not want to do the work.)

Lol, a “Modern Stone Age Family”
They had talent!
Thanks for bringing up Victory at Sea. Absolutely one of the best. I think it won an Emmy, back when that meant something!
Can’t say, but quite possible.
Oh, I actually liked Enterprise, except it had the all time worst ending two episodes on TV. Maybe game of thrones beat it for bad rushed endings.
I particularly liked how the ship had issues, the plot line of evil insect aliens, and how the Vulcans were brought along.

Treat yourself. It’s that good.
Yeah, it was great! And looking back at it now, it’s STILL impressive!
