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.

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.

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.
