    Hawaii Five 0 is one of the great TV themes!

    None of those.

    "The Fugitive,"

    So many ways it could be orchestrated to suit individual scenes.

    You do understand how tournament style voting works, right?

    Of course I do.
    But I don't go for restrictions on what I'm allowed to post if I don't like the parameters.
    I thought there were some poor choices

    The Munsters! That Billy Strange guitar is GEAR and tops in my book! And as much of a Trekkie that I am, that Season 3 Lost In Space Theme is ACES and FAB! (How's that for 1960's slang?)

    Thought some might find this amusing - Paul Hogan send up of Hawaii 5-0 combined with Benny Hill

    The Dragnet theme is from the early 1950s.

    Dragnet barely had a theme, more a recognizable motif. Dummm dumm dum dum.

    Hawaii 5-0 in contrast has one of the greatest TV themes of all time, forget just the '60s. Book 'em, Danno!

    Might as well post Aloha Steve And Danno by Radio Birdman.

    Even with the new show from the 2010's it didn't seem dated at all. Still sounds modern
