    That's a very USA-centric list

    I choose this, the first 7" I ever bought

    No Peter Gunn?

    No Star Trek (original series)?

    And, I'm partial to the theme song from Johnny Quest

    Good Point. Non-USA I'd choose :
    • "The Prisoner."


    And perhaps :
    • Monty Python
    • Benny Hill
    • Last Of The Summer Wine.

    It was only used in several episodes of "Dark Shadows" but the instrumental "Shadows of the Night(Quentin's Theme)" reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the easy listening chart in the summer of 1969.

    And an honorable mention to Last of the Summer Wine, one of the most beautiful theme tunes of all time:

    If you're gonna do UK, then this MUST be the best:



    The horns are for danger, and those strings you could bath in--sweet and luscious like a romantic Mancini score.

    Because of the classic TV themes being so catchy & attached to the shows we loved, they will always be remembered more than the episodes themselves. I loved when the "Television's Greatest Hits" came out & others after that. I wish there was a box set with original themes & the full versions too.

    HUGE fan of the old TV shows and I have all of those "Television Greatest Hits" CD's, so with that said ....

    As long as I'm alive, the theme from "That Girl" (seasons 2 through 4 only), will always be my all-time favorite theme, as it takes me back to my childhood and great memories, as soon as I see that train roll down the track. Thank you, Earle Hagen, for not only giving us the brilliant "Andy Griffith" theme, but mostly for this little gem!
