"Gotcha" - the Tom Scott composed theme from "Starsky & Hutch" (second season) is a good one, also.

In a recent pile of vinyl, I found an album "Goldfinger The Big Sound of Billy Strange His Guitar & Orchestra" with Peter Gunn, Paladin aka Have Gun, Will Travel & The Munsters Theme. It even had a testimonial on the back from Mr Tic-Tac-Dough Wink Martindale.

Fun album to listen to. Forced me to put a TT back in my main system (and add more rack space)

Most of Corporalcripp's list matches mine (with the addition of I Spy), but I have a few to add:

From the obscure file, does anybody remember Man in a Suitcase or The Outcasts?

Some more common favorites are Bat Masterson, Burke's Law, and, of course, Maverick!

There sure isn't much to choose from currently, but I think Remy Zero's "Save Me" is a great opener for Smallville.

The theme from "UFO" (composed by Barry Grey). It was a TV series created by Gerry & Sylvia Anderson (of Supercar [sweet avatar, MACAROON ], Thunderbirds, Fireball XL-5, Stingray, and Space: 1999 fame). I'm sure no one else probably remembers it...

Also the theme from the original Battlestar Galactica. Quite a majestic sounding tune.

The Man From UNCLE theme was cool.

Jonny Quest's theme was pretty jazzy too.

Jeff

P.S. Almost forgot. The theme from Hardcastle & McCormick :

Drive! (First Season Theme)

Drive, push it to the floor till the engine screams.

Drive, driving like the demon that drives your dreams.

You're on a hard road, nobody cares if you hit the brakes.

You've got to think fast, keep it in gear, one slip is all it takes.

You gotta keep your wheels on the straight and narrow,

If you wanta' survive.

Slow motion man, iron and steel in the palm of your hand.

High flyin' heart, bettin' your life on the state of the art.


Lay down the law. Don't you let 'em cross the line.

Under the hood, got the bad and the good. Everybody's doin' time.

Drive, push it to the floor till the engine screams.

Drive, driving like the demon that drives your dreams.
Drive!

Actually, I remember sitting with a tape recorder in front of the television when I was a kid, just to get its theme (did the same with Space:1999).

"Green Acres" that wonderfully bizarre "Beverly Hillbillies" ripoff had some wonderfully bizarre music by some guy named Vic Mizzy. I also LOVED the big 1966 Lincoln convertible Olivahh drove...

"They call him Flipper, Flipper, Faster than lightning; No one you see, is smarter than he...And we know Flipper, Flipper lives in a world full of Won-Der, lying there under, Under the Sea..." How DO I know all this stuff ?!? No, I DON'T Google it, either...

By the way, remember the Banana Split segment that began with "Oh-oh! Congo!!!"

'Twas Danger Island, if memory serves right, starring a young Jan-Michael Vincent as Lincoln "Link" Simmons.
