Was the song Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty ever the theme song to some popular weekly TV show? I’d swear it was, but I can’t place it and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve Google it. I’ve Binged it. But no references to anything I used to watch. ---

The song’s [wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Street_%28song%29) doesn’t mention it being used for a tv show theme. ---
