From the Voice of Firestone, a prime-time show that aired every Monday night and which we all watched.
Back when I was a teenybopper I’ d turn up the radio in my hemi powered Plymouth, play Route 66 and stretch the ol’ Plymouth’s legs. Cool!
My two favorites:
The Green Hornet
The Wild, Wild West
Route 66
Knight rider
Airwolf
Probably already been said but the Rockford Files theme song is very catchy.
Mine are:
Callan - A British Series where the theme music played while a bare light bulb swung on a wire.
Firefly - They’ll Never Take The Sky From Me
This was a Sunday night documentary program on recent history and current events hosted by Walter Cronkite--before he went liberal. In the mid-60s the show used a wimpier version of the theme song.
Hill Street Blues
The original episodes of The Rebel had the Johnny Yuma theme song sung by Johnny Cash. You can still see Johnny listed in the credits. Now you have to imagine the song when the show is replayed today.
Green Acres.
Regardless of anyone’s choice of their favorite TV theme song, it is nice every once in awhile to have a post like this to take our minds off of a lot of issues. I think I will enjoy this thread.
Cimarron Strip
I was a ‘Dark Shadows’ fan, too!
Beau likes, ‘Paladin’ and I like, ‘Charlie’s Angels’ for theme songs.
He also likes the theme from, ‘The Andy Griffith Show’...
The Fishin’ Hole
Lyrics by Everett Sloane, Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer
Well, now, take down your fishin’ pole and meet me at The Fishin’ Hole,
We may not get a bite all day, but don’t you rush away.
What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin’ stones,
You’ll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin’ in the shade.
Whether it’s hot, whether it’s cool, oh what a spot for whistlin’ like a fool.
What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by The Fishin’ Hole,
I can’t think of a better way to pass the time o’ day.
We’ll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin’ Hole,
There’ll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.
If we don’t hook a perch or bass, we’ll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.
Hangin’ around, takin’ our ease, watchin’ that hound a-scratchin’ at his fleas.
Come on, take down your fishin’ pole and meet me at The Fishin’ Hole,
I can’t think of a better way to pass the time o’ day.

From Lassie, a Sunday evening prime time feature
The Man From U.N.C.L.E, , by Jerry Goldsmith, first season version.
Kinda liked the theme to The Prisoner.
