Barnaby Jones, which was probably the first detective show I watched regularly.

And for some more recent nerdiness, there's Avengers: Earth's Mightest Heroes. :nerd:

Airwolf Intro
Dupe! :D
Seems we're all forgetting one most important theme:
Ah, yes. I especially like the original. So old school.

Which means we're also forgetting another classic: Star Trek

Ooh, Barnaby versus Kirk. :D That's a great theme. I liked the show, especially at first, but I never warmed up to his nephew or whoever that was.

That reminds me:

Marvel in the 60s. :lol:

Those didn't seem to re-run much when I was growing up so I only saw a few of them.

Around here the show was hosted by a live-action guy dressed as Captain America. I'm not sure if other places did the same thing.
Another classic.

And here are two of my all-time favorite shows, both one-season wonders:

The Night Stalker (weirdly, they don't have the actual title sequence from the show, at least not without a narrator's voice over).

Tales of the Gold Monkey

Back to the obscure department...

I liked the theme from O'hara (at least the first season)

Yeah, I never heard of Ulysses 31 or Ohara.

I loved the theme from Cheers.

This may qualify as obscure:

Get Christie Love!

One season, three intros. :lol:
