Just thought I would share. It's so beautiful and the memories of watching this in the 60s and 70s.

[ArtDodger]

I dunno.. The Johnny Quest theme really got my motor running way back when.

[rlmorel]

Sure did bring back some memories, right down to the voice of the narrator at the end: “...The American Sportsman is brought to you by...”

[Jolla]

The fly fisherman reminds me of wonderful vacations in Colorado watching my father fly fish.

As far as majestic goes, nothing beats the intro music to Victory at Sea

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

How many celebrities could you name?
I caught Red Foxx at one point.
Bing Crosby, another.

[ArtDodger]

Remember.. ‘The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat’. What a vast wasteland TV has become.

[Fresh Wind]

One of the best ever was Richard Rodgers’ score for the Victory at Sea WWII documentary series from the early 1950s.

If you’ve never seen it, you owe it to yourself to watch every one of the 26 episodes of this epic work from back when NBC was still on our side. It’s all on YouTube.

The theme for “Newhart” by Henry Mancini is beautiful.

[4yearlurker]

The original “Littlest Hobo” theme song still tugs at my heart strings.

I’m torn between which 70s NFL theme was the best, they were all great:

NBC

CBS - NFL Today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4ZE1BatBwM

And ABC’s Monday Night Football - Original Theme

Here’s one I’m really going to miss starting next season.

I wish the conference had bought the theme song and kept it.

Sounds like it was recorded live, in a sleezy nightclub. Lyrics are schmalzy. Visuals would better fit a cigarette commercial.

Give me some of that "thrill of victory... and the agony of defeat!"

These are my favorite TV theme songs:

1. Avant de Quitter Ces Lieux (when I quit these Parts)--from "Lassie"

2. If I Could Tell You/In My Garden--from "The Voice of Firestone"

3. Theme for "The Twentieth Century," a CBS News documentary program that began in the late 1950s. In '60s the arrangement was changed and didn't sound as good.

[Scrambler Bob]

Theme for Highway Patrol, with Broderick Crawford.

Tour of Duty used to use Paint it Black. But re-runs use some bland garbage.

[vespa300]

And of course the NBC Mystery Movie Theme from 1971. Columbo, McMillan and wife, etc.

Good theme:

[RckyRaCoCo]

Was always partial to the How The West Was Won theme

[IAGeezer912]

The Rawhide song is my favorite.

Thanks for posting this. Reminds me that yes, there was in fact a world that I understood somewhere back in the misty past.

Thanks for posting. Brings back lots of good memories.
