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.

It would have to be the theme song from Sanford and Son.The Streebeater by Quincy Jones.It's as good as theme songs get.I smile every time I hear it,suited the show perfect.
What an entertaining thread! Great suggestions. I agree with Hawaii Five-O and Andy Griffith. How about going way back: Batman, The Monkees, Lost in space, and the Twilight Zone.
Wow...good question.
It would be a three way tie:
The Beverly Hillbillies
The Addams Family
