What is your favorite tv theme song/composition?

Since many on Audiogon are baby boomers television must have been a big part of your childhood. In grade school my mother allowed me to stay up until 10pm to watch Barnaby Jones. She knew I wouldn't make it past the great Jerry Goldsmith theme. My current favorite is the dark and haunting John Rubinstein composition for the ABC drama Family.

There are some really great themes on the list that I like but two from my childhood are : The Lone Ranger (William Tell Overture) and of course Roy Rogers "Happy Trails".

The Bob Newhart Show (the original series), but I was a trumpet player so I have a built in bias.

SportsNight: "Snuffy" Waldron does the theme song, but I've never found a way to buy it...

"Suicide is Painless" (MASH) is a classic.

I just LOVE that little ditty played on Jeopardy when the contestants are writing (or not) the 'final answer'.

Just kidding.
