Catchy theme songs would require imagination on the part of Hollywood writers. Watch modern TV and tell me this still exists.
It’s about time, it’s about space,
About two men in the strangest place.
It’s about time, it’s about flight -
Traveling faster than the speed of light.
This is the tale of the brave crew
As through the barrier of time they flew.
Past a fighting minuteman,
Past an armored knight,
Past a Roman warrior,
To this ancient site.
It’s about caves,cavemen too,
About a time when the earth was new.
Wait’ll they see what is in sight!
Is it good luck or is it good night?
It’s about two astronauts, it’s about their fate,
It’s about a woman and her prehistoric mate.
It’s about time, it’s about space,
About two men in the strangest place.
They will be here right on this spot
No matter if they like it or not.
How will they live in this primitive state?
Will help ever come before it is too late?
Will they ever get away? Watch each week and see!
Will they be returning to the 20th Century?
It’s about time for our goodbyes
To all these prehistoric gals and guys. IT’S ABOUT TIME!
Best ever was the theme from “Rockford Files”!
I liked this one too:
Who is the tall dark stranger there?
Maverick is the name.
Riding the trail to who knows where
Luck is his companion
Gamblin’ is his game.
Smooth as a handle on a gun
Maverick is the name.
Wild as a wind in Oregon
Blowin’ up a canyon
Easier to tame.
Riverboat ring your bell!
Fare-the-well Annabelle!
Luck is the lady that he loves the best!
Nachetz to New Orleans
Livin’ on jacks and queens
Maverick is the legend of the West.
Riverboat ring your bell
Fare-the-well Annabelle!
Luck is the lady that he loves the best!
Natchez to New Orleans
Livin’ on jacks and queens
Maverick is the legend of the West.
Maverick is the legend of the West.
The Rockford Files theme song is burned into my brain.
Rollin rollin rollin
keep those doggies rollin ...
Oh, another one is Gilligan’s Island. You can sing Amazing Grace to the melody.
THANK YOU!!
I have sung that theme for people and they think I’m making it up. I began to think I was dreaming it. What year was that?
magnum, hill street blues, cheers, growing pains, wonder years, a team, air wolf, quantnum leap, star trek, battle star gallactica, greatest american hero, fame, highlander.. those are the good ones i remember.
Beverly Hillbillies
Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.
Well the first thing you know ol Jed’s a millionaire,
Kinfolk said “Jed move away from there”
Said “Californy is the place you ought to be”
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.
Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You’re all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality
Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.
Y’all come back now, y’hear?.
“Dallas” had an excellent theme.
i think i was a bit young for dallas. i don’t think i’ve ever seen it.
It’s About Time was produced by the immortal Sherwood Schwartz, creator of The Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Island (Gilligan was then in its third year earning solid ratings for CBS).
It’s About Time ran only one season on CBS, from September 11, 1966 until August 27, 1967; the sitcom starred Jack Mullaney and Frank Aletter as two 1960’s astronauts who break the time barrier and end up in prehistoric times.
I believe the term back then was "sheep herder"
Police Squad.
Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
