What's your favorite old T.V. show theme song?
Use to be some great shows on T.V. back in the day.
Matt Houston.
Nelson Riddle, the theme from Route 66.
Too bad that Operation Petticoat series wasn’t that memorable.
Gilligan’s Island
Captain Power.
Yep, I have first editions of the comic books too.
1999 seemed like a LONG ways away, and it was going to be so COOL!
Instead we got the Klintoons.
Didn’t see the Alfred Hitchcock theme mentioned, but it seems like a classic.
The Jeffersons was always one of my favorites and you were the first one to say it. Hawaii 5 0 and Dexter and (sorry) Friends are good too.
Miami Vice
Green Acres
The Munsters
Batman
WKRP in Cincinnati (though I preferred the closing credits song).
So far I’m leaning with others that the Hawaii 5-0 theme is the best of the era. Sirius XM should have a TV and movie theme song channel.
Tobor the Eighth Man
Wow...so many gooood ones...but my two cents worth...
Not neccesarily in order....
Hawaii 5 0
Peter Gunn
Secret agent
Route 66
Mission Impossible
Honorable mention
Magnum
Bonanza
Rawhide
Rockford Files
Star Trek
I picked the top ones cause if I hear any of those songs or someone doing a cover...I will stop and listen...
Best bang for the buck: Twilight zone
"I'm an executive order, and I pretty much just happen and that's it."
Then The Simpsons got Jack Shelton to sing the parody “I’m An Amendment To Be”

(Cause those liberal freaks go too faaaaaar!)
Miami Vice
The Eagle ships were quite awesome. Even as a kid, I loved that they were so utilitarian. And friend and I put together a model as kids. When were done it looked a bit plain even after painting it. So we added some serial numbers and ‘No step/Rescue’-type decals from a jet fighter model and some spare nose art and squadron markings from a B-17 kit. When it was done, it looked like something Chris Foss might have imagined.

Mancini contributed great music to the tube in those days.
Peter Gunn, just one example.

Hello world, here’s a song that were singin’
C’mon get happy!
A whole lotta lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’
C’mon get happy!
Five of us and mom working all day
We knew that we could help her if our music would pay
Danny got Ruben to sell our song
And it really came together when mom sang along
Hello world here’s the song that were singin’
To make you happy!
There’s nothin’ better than bein’ together
When were singin’!
When were singin’!
When were singin’!
