Oh, I forgot the Honeymooners, always loved that. What's it called, does anyone know? It must be on one of Gleason's albums.

Some of my favorites:

Some Batman trivia...  Guess who played drums on that great background music on the Batman series? Yes, Mr. Hal Blaine!

I love all the 70s blaxploitation-R&B derived cop show themes: SWAT, Starskey and Hutch, Baretta, etc.  And the Barney Miller theme has an absolute badass bassline.  Whenever I'm setting up for a gig and soundchecking my bass, I always end up playing that one eventually.

To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank

"in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead

My favourite TV theme tune is the song used over the credits of the 1970s BBC sitcom 'Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?'  'Oh, what happened to you/Whatever happened to me?/And what became of the people we used to be?/ Tomorrow's almost over,/ Today went by so fast,/ Is the only thing to look forward to - the past?'  It was written by Mike Hugg of Manfred Mann fame and perfectly captured the mood of the programme - two close youngish male friends who remain more attached to each other and their shared childhood and youth than the lives of mundane adult conformity that seem mapped out before them.  With the passage of time the song sounds like an elegy for the folk memory of the 1970s and the programme itself.

maybe i missed it reading though, but you are all missing Life Goes On - obla di.  This has to be the only time a beatles song was liscenced as a theme song, right?  i cant remeber though, i know there might have been addtional signing added, or was it an entirely new version?... didnt watch the show much and wasnt a big beatles fan.

How about the "Crossroads" theme.
I gues only UK people have seen the show but you all know the music from MACCA's version on Venus and Mars.

My brother bought the 45 for The Fall Guy theme!
Too bad that terrible show isn't in syndication. I was in love with Heather Thomas... so were 1,000,000 other people. She wanted me, though.
