The LA Law theme song - which sounds like the 1980s in LA. It perfectly fits the show.
Nobody…nobody… was cooler than Cool McCool. Just dig that moustache. And the iodine 1960s sound on that organ.
(Ohmigod, 1966? I was FIVE in 1966.)
McCool was created by Bob Kane. Kane’s only other notable contribution to pop culture was some loser called “Batman.”
He looks like Robert Goulet with a 'stache.
+1. I’ve never seen this show before. But reading a little about it, the theme music seems to capture the tone very well.
Never even heard of this TV show. (-: Yeah, I like this theme. It’s abstract in a good way.
I like this Theme For An American TV Show that never aired.
There was a very short lived medical drama called Doctors Hospital in the 70s with
George Peppard, that had a very cool theme. I remember holding my cassette recorded up to the TV to capture it on one of my music tapes. Only a brief snippet of it exists now:
This cover version of the B-side of a single by The Smiths was wasted on Charmed.
Best Opening Theme Ever:
Watching this clip, I realized the only reason I remember this series is probably because Elaine Giftos was in it. I loved her as a high-priced hooker on Three’s Company. :o
Not the best show (or theme) ever, but dig that keyboard in the middle! And look at that cast! *Two *actors from ***ST: TOS***!Unfortunately, if what I’ve heard is true, Broderick Crawford was by this time a hopeless alcoholic. 
IIRC, this was on CBS Friday nights. Monday nights you could see the luscious Kate Jackson in this series on ABC:
The late '60s and early '70s was a great time for “now” and “relevant” TV series!
Interesting that Mike Farrell is mentioned in both clips. In the second one, his wife Judy is too. She played Nurse Able in MASH***
One more great cop show from a somewhat earlier period:
They just don't write 'em like that anymore! :oA couple of Fess Parker classics–
(Considering later events on the Carson show, maybe Ed Ames should’ve thrown the axe in the opening sequence :D)
It’s a tomahawk, dude! 
While it never gets mentioned in any list of the “greatest” theme songs/music, I would argue that the Bewitched theme music is pretty iconic for a reason. Just try not whistling along to that theme!
It was released as a single back in the '60s, **long **before the movie came out:
The Streets of San Francisco (first and second seasons, opening and closing tracks)

[/QUOTE]Huh?? 
Uh, I think there’s some confusion. I’m talking about the theme music to the television show, from the 1960s, not the movie. The theme music was original to the series, not the Sinatra song.
I just double-checked to be sure, and my link does go to the TV theme. Did you click on it before you posted?
The theme song to Wings is not too shabby.
- It’s Franz Schubert’s Sonata in A.
The song was released with lyrics back in the 1960s, long before the movie came out. They may have *used *it in the movie (which I have never seen and don’t want to), but I remember hearing it when I was still in grade school.
I don’t know if Sinatra ever recorded it, but the version I posted is Steve Lawrence’s. Whether it’s the recording from the '60s or if he reprised it for the movie, I don’t know. Sounds the same to me as the one I heard growing up, though.
