Ray Garrison Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Oh man, how could I have overlooked M*A*S*H*... Through early morning fog I see Visions of the things to be, The pains that are withheld for me, I realize and I can see... That suicide is painless, It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please. The game of life is hard to play, I'm going to loose it anyway, The loosin' card I'll someday lay; So this is all I have to say... That suicide is painless, It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please. The only way to win is cheat And lay it down before I'm beat And to another give my seat For that's the only painless feat. That suicide is painless, It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please. And you can do the same thing if you please. Or Secret Agent: There's a man who leads a life of danger. To everyone he meets he stays a stranger With every move he makes, Another chance he takes. Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow. Secret Agent Man. Secret Agent Man. They've given you a number. And taken away your name. Beware of pretty faces that you find. A pretty face may hide an evil mind. Ooh be careful what you say. Or you give yourself away. Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow. Secret Agent Man. Secret Agent Man. They've given you a number. And taken away your name. Swinging on the Riviera one day Layin' in a Bombay alley the next. Oh don't let the wrong word slip. While kissin persuasive lips. Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow. Secret Agent Man. Secret Agent Man. They've given you a number. And taken away your name. Johnny Rivers Rocks!

wheelman Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 The end of the incredable hulk. AS he is walking away hitchhiking. It's not the opening it's the end but it does deserve mentioning. The Dukes of Hazard is really good opener. Curb your enthusiasm is growing on me like a fungus. Sanford and son. I love the Sopranos tune in the beginning to. Woke up this morning and got yourself a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomac Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Hill Street Blues was good indeed. It will replace Cheers on my list. How about "Midnight Caller"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJT Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I remember this one from the 60's, BRANDED. I guess its memorable because I remember it. Joe T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschfoot Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 GET SMART (now try to get that theme out of your head) One of the best opening sequences that never seemed to get old. I guess we all just wanted to see Don Adams get his nose popped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dzapper Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Another one we have to put in is the opening song of every sporting event and NASCAR race: The Star Spangled Banner. It's been murdered more than once but it is catchy. And Taxi and Archie Bunker's Theme and it's spin-off the Jeffersons. One common thread seems to be the better the production ie: likelyhood of being a hit, the better the theme song. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Garrison Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 someone wanted Rawhide? Rawhide and a few others... The Adams Family Batman The Beverly Hillbillys Gilligan's Island Highway Patrol Lassie Mighty Mouse Supercar The Munsters Hawaii Five-0 Miami Vice Mission Impossible and my personal favorite, Underdog by the way, on my system, these work a lot better in Windoze Media Player than they do in Real. I have no idea why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 When I listen to Mighty Mouse all I can think of is Andy Kauffman on the SNL stage. Cracks me up every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grateful11 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I had almost forgotten how good the "Underdog" opener was. I recently bought a 8" plush Underdog at a Flea market, my teenage sons thought I was crazy. Here's another: Fat Albert All the linked ones automatically open up in a new window and play with Mozilla Firebird.

toddvj Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Ray, Awesome post!!! Have to agree with a lot of the others, but how can we leave off Law and Order or ER? STNG and Sopranos are great, Hill Street Blues, someone mentioned Sanford and Son, what about Good Times, What's Happening, or the Jeffersons? Andy Griffith is definitely one of my favorites. All I've learned from this is that there is no way I could narrow it down to just a top 10!!! Excellent Idea for a topic!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschfoot Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 As long as we are talking about just the music and not the "opening sequences," Ironsides by Quincy Jones was one of the best ever. (I understand that it is on the Kill Bill soundtrack.) While we are on QJ, his Smackwater Jack, a.k.a. Hicky Burr from Bill Cosby Show, is also one of the more memorable.

garymd Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I have a copy of TeeVee Toons Presents "Television's Greatest Hits" Featuring Don Pardo. 65 TV Themes From The 50's and 60's. It's a double album beginning with Don Pardo's sign on into Captain Kangaroo ending with The National Anthem. It has cool stuff like "We Interrupt This Program," "Please Stand By" and "Test Of The Emergency Broadcast System-Duck And Cover" along with every theme song you could possibly imagine. A few a don't think were mentioned from my lp are: "Casper The Friendly Ghost" "Felix The Cat" "Popeye" "Yogi Bear" "Top Cat" "Leave It To Beaver" "Dennis The Menace" "McHale's Navy" "Mannix" "Combat" "Daniel Boone" "Adam 12" "F Troop" "77 Sunset Strip" and too many more to write.
