Gilligan's Island (1963–1967)

Well since the modern "Barney Fife", aka, Mike Pence, shot himself in the foot, I guess "The Andy Griffith Show" theme is my favorite.

Top 5 for me,

1.The Andy Griffith Show

2. Partridge Family(1st season)

3.Partridge Family(2nd season to fourth)

4.The Brady Bunch

5.Gilligans Island

[Alberta's Child]

The theme from “Hill Street Blues” is a great one, along with “Bonanza.”

[Alberta's Child]

THE greatest, most iconic TV theme song ever produced was called “Gathering Crowds.”

It was the theme song for “This Week in Baseball” back in the 1980s.

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rawhide

Keep rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dawwgies rollin’, Rawhide
Through rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
A-wishing my girl was by my side
All the things I’m missin’
Good vittles, love and kissin’
Are waiting at the end of my ride

Move ‘em on, head ‘em up, head ‘em up, move ‘em on
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up, Rawhid
Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in, ride ‘em in, cut ‘em out
Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in, Rawhide

Keep movin’, movin’, movin’
Though they’re disapproving
Keep them dawwgies movin’, Rawhide
Don’t try to understand them
Just rope, throw and brand ‘em
Soon we’ll be living high and wide
My heart’s calculating
My true love will be waiting
Be waiting at the end of my ride

Move ‘em on, head ‘em up, head ‘em up, move ‘em on
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up, Rawhid
Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in, ride ‘em in, cut ‘em out
Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in, Rawhide

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rawhide

They had Danger Man (the British version was cool, Secret Agent Man was the US version).

But they left off “The Prisoner”

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

The Wire

Didn’t realize this until now, but I recognized the third movement of Rimsky-Korsakov’s - Christmas Eve: Orchestral Suite (1895) in the Jetsons theme song!
