Green Acres and Odd Couple both had good theme music (especially all the versions of Green Acres: "Purple Haze, rap, punk, etc).

Green Acres is tops in my memories. "Are you goin' in to Hoosterville today, Mr. Douglas?"

Sometimes I think I could be that man. In fact, my very first FR screenname was OliverWendellDouglas. I used to get flamed because apparently O W Holmes was a liberal. They read wayyyyyyyy too much into that handle.

Well, the acter who played OWD (Eddie Albert) was a big war hero.

"At the outbreak of World War II, Albert entered the U.S. Navy as a junior officer, and distinguished himself during 1943 in the fighting on Tarawa. Assigned as the salvage officer, his job was to examine military equipment abandoned on the battlefield to see if it should be retrieved -- but what he found were wounded men who had been left behind under heavy fire. Albert took them off the beach in a small boat, earning commendations for his bravery."
