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.

Many great posts!!! Chico and the Man-Room 222-Streets of San Francisco-The Waltons-Maude have received none or a few votes? I agree that Hawaii Five-0 and Mission Impossible should be on everyone's top ten list.
Drew Carey used "5 O'Clock World" for a while. Obviously not an original, but a tune for the ages. Those opening choreographed scenes were IMHO the best part of a very good sitcom.

'Chico and the Man' was probably the best in the history of television. It was real music.
