All-time favorite TV theme songs

The obituary of Robert Cleary was fascinating for its discussion of his history as a Holocaust survivor. My parents were aware and told me about it back when I was a kid watching.

I’m have a weird fondness for this one.

Laverne and Shirley and Happy Days were fabulous theme songs……

But Six Million Dollar Man’s theme song with Lee Majors was simply amazing!!!

My favorite is Lalo Shiffran composition for Mission Impossible. Mostly because it’s written in an odd meter…and I like it.

But every time I see this thread, I start humming the theme to the Flintstones!

The theme to Sesame Street is a classic.

For more contemporary take, I like the “Slow Horses” theme sung by Mick Jagger.
