My All-Time Favorite
TV Theme Songs
Once again, all of mine are from the past. They just seemed more fun (and I don't watch network TV shows much anymore). Besides, they offer great memories.
1. Flipper: Don't laugh. It brings back great memories of my childhood and almost brings tears to my eyes the rare times I hear it now.
2. The Rifle Man: How different can these two shows possibly be? This is one of those times on my endless lists that I just can't explain, but it's really No. 2.
3. Gilligan's Island: It's got to be on every person's list of favorite TV theme songs, doesn't it?
4. The Brady Bunch: Ditto to No. 3. They're all soooo cute.
5. Green Acres: "The chores ... the stores ...
fresh air ... Times Square!"
6. Rawhide: It's dating me a little bit, but what a spitfire song.
7. The Addams Family: Creepy and so much fun.
8. All in the Family: There's a special bond between Edith and Archie that comes out in this song.
9. Mr. Ed: Well of course, a horse is a horse.
10. The Twilight Zone: I shiver next to Kris everytime we watch it
on my DVDs.
Honorable mentions: The Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days, Cheers, Welcome Back Kotter, Mission: Impossible, The Beverly Hillbillies, Batman and Love Boat (really).
