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.

What about Mr. Ed ? Me thinks the guy who wrote this wrote The Addams Family theme too.
What is this TV thing? I remember getting very excited about hearing "The Lone Ranger" on the radio. I think my earliest memory was standing up in my crib listening to the Popeye theme on the radio.
I guess I do remember, after a while, the radio came with pictures and they moved. Wow!
I still listen to my Henry Mancini "Peter Gunn" music and I even remember Mr. Lucky. Now how lucky is that?
I think my favorite theme from that CD is "Experiment in Terror", which was a movie, not a TV show. It was funny seeing the movie and realizing I already knew the theme music. Great!
Barretta.
The Jonny Quest was a great call. Now it's humming in my head. Thanks ;)

Great version of Johnny Quest theme by Reverend Horton Heat on the "Saturday Morning Cartoons" CD. Nice transition into "Stop the Pigeon" from "Dastardly and Mutley in their Flying Machines". Classic baby boomer stuff!

That's a very good CD chock full of nice, energetic versions of old cartoon themes overall actually!

LEt's not forget the "Groovy Goulies". They're gonna do their thing for you!

Don't ask what that is!
