^^ Those Bruce Timm shows were great.

I don't know what made me think of this.

The X-Men.

Popular enough that snippets were used in a couple of the MCU outings.

Mad Men
I've never seen it, but that's a cool sequence.

Strangely, it's familiar to me, although I'm sure I never saw the show.

And here's the show that made my nickname cool in junior high:

Starsky & Hutch

Airwolf Original Extended Soundtrack Version

I don't remember seeing this one in the mix: Barnaby Jones Full Theme

Matt Houston was a favorite of my dad's (we watched it every Sunday night). He was envious of the millionaire playboy who owned a Mercedes Benz 350 SEL and had a very attractive female helicopter pilot :lol: Exactly how does he keep his hat on when driving a convertible? :wtf:

Another which has several versions: Classic TV Theme: Simon & Simon (two versions)

I remember this as being the last, or at least close to the last, of the Aaron Spelling shows. I also remember it as Buddy Ebsen's last stop.

The Virginian had a pretty good theme. One of the westerns I'd watch with dad after mom passed.
And speaking of mom and dad would both watch The Young Riders back in the day.

^^ I've never seen Young Riders, but I'm somewhat familiar with The Virginian.

I always wanted to see these two guys meet:

Have Gun, Will Travel and Wanted: Dead or Alive

Paladin is a well-educated polymath and Josh Randall looks like he struggles to remember his own name. :lol:

Coincidentally, my Mother was watching Young Riders on INSP when I got there today.

^Used to watch that.

The later seasons of Lost In Space had a good theme, even if the show wasn't exactly great.

I was into Lost In Space as much as Trek in the late 60s and early 70s. Channel 56 ran them both.
