    Came here to post Simon and Simon, but that's taken. So, as a fan of Wendy Carlos, I'll post Probe (not by Carlos, but clearly an influence)

    Wait - who ever said the Mannix Theme was underrated...? :confused:
    That's like saying Johnny Quest was just a kiddie's cartoon show.

    I chose Patrick Williams' The Governor and J.J. theme, which had a bit of that Newhart theme dichotomy to it. MTM was at the top of their game back then.

    One for the Brits, Gary Holton's epic theme to Murphy's Mob from the early 80's

    I've always enjoyed the "Knight Rider" theme. Seriously.

    Also have always liked the "St. Elsewhere" theme, as well as the show itself.

    And here's the theme to an obscure 1960s show called "Karen" from one of my favorite groups of all time, the Beach Boys.

    Almost 1.5 minutes (slightly longer than Seinfield Bass Popping theme, lol). Fine piece of music, and wonderfully edited sequence. The editor really matched the movements of the students with the flow of the music

    Not underrated, but nearly impossible to find on YouTube due to copyright takedowns:

    "Eye of the Sparrow"- the theme from Baretta performed by Sammy Davis Junior.
