There's no way "Gilligan's Island" beats the "Theme from Peter Gunn".

I was always kinda partial to “Room 222” song myself(Karen Valentine was a BABE!).

I have always enjoyed the theme from Barney Miller, or Sanford and Son. Although, they are instrumentals.

Come on! EVERYONE knows Gilligan’s Island. If you don’t, you’re probably a millenial.

I would vote 12O'Clock High as the best instrumental theme for television.

Followed by the third season of Wagon Train.

I guess I will show my age and vote for the theme from Gunsmoke. I like the radio version over the TV version.

Amen to that.

The Peter Gunn theme like the show was groundbreaking stuff.
At age 17 or so, the jazzy theme and Edie were what dreams were made of.

I don’t dance. I am not a dancer. You hear that. I don’t dance.

But every time the theme for King of the Hill plays, my foot starts tapping and I have absolutely no control over it.

The “Car 54 where are you?” song still cracks me up after 50 years, but “Secret Agent Man” by Johnny Rivers flat out rocks.

M*A*S*H

I used to spend the weekends at my grandmothers house because my parents worked late shift weekends.
Now , every time I hear that MASH tune, it instantly takes my back to the smell of pinto beans and cornbread that my grandmother made for supper.

Silly huh? One of the best memories of my life.

The same group that sang Gilligan's theme, "The Wellingtons," also sang this famous Disney theme:

The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh
