Your Favorite TV Themes!

[RJDiogenes]

What could be more nostalgic than your favorite TV themes? Lots of things, but let's stay on topic.

As discussed in the Check-In Thread:

Mission: Impossible.

Hawaii Five-0.

And one more for good luck:

Perry Mason

I get a kick out of this version because they inexplicably have the prosecution and the defense all squeezed in at the same table.

Those are 3 of my favorite TV theme songs from yesteryear

I remember every high school band in the 70s playing Hawaii-Five-0's theme song.

Here's another classic:

The theme song to 60 Minutes.

I just can't get that song out of my head

[Gary]

The Rockford Files full length theme.

[Lupine]

Perhaps a bit later than most l rather liked the theme from the short lived Untouchables series from the 90s.

Airwolf was a favorite of mine growing up.

Then there was Street Hawk.

Also liked the one from Hardcastle and McCormick though I didn't really watch it.

[RJDiogenes]

The theme song to 60 Minutes.

Talk about the Doomsday Clock.

The Rockford Files full length theme.

Classic. It was a Top 40 hit when I was a kid.

Perhaps a bit later than most l rather liked the theme from the short lived Untouchables series from the 90s.

That could be a 24th-century Trek theme.

Airwolf was a favorite of mine growing up.

That certainly does its job of making me want to watch the show.

The one with the narration reminded me of this classic:

Six-Million-Dollar Man

[Lupine]

Perhaps a bit later than most l rather liked the theme from the short lived Untouchables series from the 90s.

That could be a 24th-century Trek theme.

Funnily enough the score was written by Joel Goldsmith, the son of Jerry Goldsmith who did the theme for many a Star Treks.

I'm getting "video unavailable" message on those. But I found this. I'm not sure it ever ran in the US.

I'm also getting the restricted message, but Lupy's alternative worked. That's pretty cool. What era was that?

Cute. Looks like a Soap Opera.

"The Wild Wild West" TV Intro

Ah, another favorite. I've recently been watching episodes on Saturday morning with my Mother, particularly the ones with Dr Loveless. I love Dr Loveless.

[Madeliaette]

^ yep Lupes version is the same tune....both tunes are 70s/80s era. the young docs was a sopaie...from aussie.

[Lupine]

Then there is The A-Team. Not quite as enamored with the season 5 synth-fest.

And back in the day I liked the one from Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

[Gary]

Classic TV Theme: Mary Tyler Moore

There are several versions of this theme to choose from as the opening visuals changed from season to season. Speaking of which, remember when MTM, Bob Newhart, and M*A*S*H ruled Saturday Night television?

The Bob Newhart Show (1972) Opening Sequence

MASH 4077 opening theme

[Madeliaette]

Sorry, I meant to say what era were your ancestors seafarers?

Then there is The A-Team. Not quite as enamored with the season 5 synth-fest.

I like the Cylon walking past Dirk Benedict. And I had forgotten that Barclay was on there.

And back in the day I liked the one from Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

The former Sabrina Duncan and the future John Sheridan.

Speaking of which, remember when MTM, Bob Newhart, and M*A*S*H ruled Saturday Night television?

I sure do. I watched them all religiously.

This one is new to me.

All the comedies remind me of another comedy classic from my youth: Love, American Style.
