Favorite TV Theme Show Songs

Posted by Kim Priestap

Published: November 2, 2006 - 3:41 PM

I'm taking a quick break from the November 7th election blogging for a little light hearted fun. These are my thirteen favorite TV show theme songs from the 70s and 80s when I was a kid. Any thoughts? I expect some Wizbang readers will have favorites that I didn't list.

13. The Muppet Show

12. Welcome Back Kotter

11. The Mary Tyler Moore Show

10. Magnum PI

   9. The Partridge Family

   8. One Day at a Time

  7. Dallas

  6. Miami Vice

  5. The Monkees

  4. The Dukes of Hazzard

  3. Rockford Files

  2. Mission Impossible

  1. Hawaii Five-O

Update: Several people have chastised me for not including Gilligan's Island and maybe I should have. What I especially like about the Gilligan's Island theme is that you can sing Amazing Grace to it as well. Try it. It's pretty funny.

Not the theme from Barney Miller (great little jazz tune) or the theme from Hill Street Blues? Those two (plus the 60s "The Prisoner") are my favorites of all time.

Wasn't Gilligan actual from the 60's? I only remember watching Gilligan reruns when I was a kid in the 70's. But heck- if we're including the 60's, how about the theme from Batman?

Also, the theme from Taxi is a nice little jazzy keyboard ditty. And what about "Movin' On Up" from The Jefferson's, Archie and Edith singing "Those Were the Days" from All in the Family, and "Good Times" and the theme from Sanford and Son.

And don't forget the Disco-ey Charlie's Angel's theme, or "The Love Boat."

I don't know what I find more disturbing: that you can sing "Amazing Grace" to the tune of the "Gilligan Theme," or that someone actually tried.

Peter Gunn was very cool. My first wife and her best friend would always sing the theme from Carol Burnett when saying goodbye . . . that was annoying.


Another good question would be "TV theme songs that made the charts." Hawaii 5-0 was a big hit, and the Beverly Hillbillies ran up the country charts for a while. I'm sure there were others. Did Route 66 make it? I can't remember.

These are based more on parking in front of the tv when I heard them than the quality of the theme song:

"The Avengers" (but it didn't quite make it to the 70's)

"Get Smart" (ended in 1970)

I'd put "Andy Griffith" in as a good quality theme. Oh and maybe Hogan's Heroes.

Hawaii Five-O is defintely the best one ever.

Some of mine:

Happy days - the short TV version. Can't you still see the Fonz jumping into that chair?

The Big Valley - the one from the last season with the orchestra build up to the opening

Star Trek - no one has mentioned that? Surprising.

Emergency - I love the build up on it. I loved Dr. Brackett. No one could say "start an IV with lactaid ringers" like he could.

Gilligan's Island - Side story: when my daughter was little she could be anywhere in the house and when she heard that song she came running. We had the pleasure of meeting Bob Denver several years ago and I showed him a picture I had taken of her watching the show. He got a big kick out of that. He was a super nice guy and a lot like the character he played.

Wonder Woman - Ok, so maybe it wasn't the theme song that attracted me to that show.

Monday Night football (long before the Hank Williams version which I never warmed to).

Shazam! - used to watch that every Saturday morning. Didn't realize til years later that they only made about 20 episodes and kept rotating them.

The Jeffersons

Good times

The looney tunes theme - (And oh what heights we'll hit, on with the show, this is it).

The Brady Bunch

The Incredible Hulk - LOVE this show. Did Jack Colvin (Mr. McGhee ever do anything else)

Knightrider - isn't the guy who does the voiceover on the theme the same guy on the Geicho Commercials (Mr. Announcer guy)?

Newhart (the one about the Inn) - I always thought it was a neat little theme.

Regarding the Andy griffith Show: while I think this is the best show EVER, the theme song never really stood out as that great to me.

==============================================

BTW, does anyone know why they haven't realeased any moer seasons of Happy Days on dvd? The first season is ok but the show really didn't take off until season 2 and 3.

I find I simply cannot get thru a single verse of Gilligan's Island sung to the tune of Amazing Grace without either giggling uncontrollably, or breaking back into the original lyrics.

And my mind just explodes trying to do the reverse and sing the lyrics for Gilligan's Island to the tune of Amazing Grace.

Speaking of Gilligan's Island, it also had SO many cool songs in different episodes that I never forgot. I remember a Hamlet episode where they sang "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" and another one where Gilligan sang "G-I-Double L- I - G-A-N spells Gilligan...... that's me!"

And of course, the Brady Bunch had songs in episodes that we all still sing - even that guy who did "The Creation of Dance" had to include the "We gotta keepon, keepon, keepon, keepon dancin' all thru the night!"
