O.T. television theme songs

[Aluminny69]

It's funny how TV theme songs can stick in the recesses of your mind. Whenever I visit Disneyland here in So Cal, and go to their "Fort Wilderness" attraction, this song always comes to mind.

It's also funny how we can remember the words to this song from 67 years ago, and the verses, yet can't remember where we left our car keys, or why we entered a room.

“Where Everybody Knows Your Name” theme song of the TV series Cheers.

 

[Hoops66]

It takes about 5 notes to recognize this one....

Richard Rogers composed the theme and donated it to the show. I think Victory at Sea was the most powerful documentary ever made. My father was a Regular Navy pilot who flew big transport sea planes from Alameda and Hawaii across the Pacific.

My father never talked about the war, but watched Victory at Sea religiously. Later I found out he served with Army corp of engineers, carving landing strips out of the jungles of New Guinea, all while being strafed by Japanese Zeros.

Since there isn't much going on..what is your favorite music intro to a TV show? Mine was the intro for the X-Files..Yours?

 

[Carnac]

Not particularly musical but a real classic (known only to the old folks...).

Here are the short version and a link to a longer one with both the music and a program intro featuring Jack Webb as the star detective. Some may note a few differences between this (starting with black and white TV) and the old shows, criminals/crimes, and police of today.





Dragnet Opening and Closing Theme 1951 - 1959 and 1967 - 1970

I first watched Dragnet in 1954 with a very young Jack Webb. His partner was played by Ben Alexander. They drove 1954 Fords.

Now for something a little more current than most of what we’ve posted here.

Going way, way back, are the theme songs for the Howdy Doody Show (which had the "peanut gallery" singing the theme); and, a really bizarre kids show, "The Buster Brown Show." with "pluck your magic twanger, Froggy" and "Andy's Gang."

How many of you remember watching those programs?

Who can forget the Peanut Gallery. I can't believe all those kids are older than me. ( I was born in 1947.) I don't believe very many people even had a TV in 1947.

We didn't have a TV. My brother and I watched it Sat. mornings at an aunt house, next door.

Interesting how memory works.
Here's one from the deepest recesses of mine. Not a theme song, per se, rather, an introduction. It still lingers there, inexplicably, after all these years.

I just got a flashback,
6 foot metal munching mice !!!

On edit:
Now you've done it. I was involuntarily compelled to research more of R & B on the internet. An extremely satisfying endeavor that enveloped me in the warm glow of childhood memories, in times, long past.
