I already have ***Combat! ***and Rat Patrol, so one more WWII series:
12 O’Clock High
With Gen Frank Savage, of course. I close my eyes when I listen to this and can see formations of B-17s and P-51s cruising at 25,000 feet! :cool:The real lyrics aren’t much better. There, I said it! 
I **loved **the first season of this show. It transported me back to the summers I spent in the Joliet/Chicago area when I was in grade school:
Crime Story
The only line I remember for certain (for some reason), is 'Love–strange love a star woman teaches….’
Groovy, man!
For all we know, the editors of that site get ALL their article-ideas from reading SDMB threads.
(They could do worse!)
I wrote some lyrics to the Voyager theme song. Here right now is their world debut:
Voy-a-ger is lost in the Delta Quadrant.
Oh how sad
Oh that’s too bad
Oh how sad
For you
Voy-a-ger is lost in the Delta QUAAAA-drant.
Oh that’s too bad
Oh I’m so sad
Fooooor Youuuuuuu.
Three’s Company
Benson
Diff’rent Strokes
The Tick.
Already mentioned, Cowboy Bebop.
And finally The Jetsons.
Something about jazz and animation that let them work well together.
The real reason Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the ST theme was so that he could claim 50% of the royalties every time the theme was performed. Alexander Courage thought Roddenberry’s conduct of writing the lyrics, for which he had not been consulted, was unethical, although he didn’t choose to take legal action. Roddenberry was quoted as responding, “Hey, I gotta get my money where I can.”
Forgetting for the moment that Roddenberry, as creator and producer of the series, had creative control over it and could write lyrics if he damned well pleased, that Wiki article is seriously flawed. It was the third season version of the theme that was renowned for having the soprano accompaniment “like a bitch in heat,” as one writer put it. Having watched every original episode in syndication five days a week from 1969 to 1973, I can attest there were at least four versions of the theme, and I can match them to each season (and the pilots).
Having read Solow’s account of things in Star Trek: The Real Story (1996) and compared it to The Making of Star Trek (written in 1968, as the series was being filmed), I’m suspicious of many of his recollections.
If there was a soprano accompaniment in the early versions, it definitely was not audible to my teenage ears.
I like the ending song better: “The Real Folk Blues” By Yoko Kanno
Finally! I read somewhere, certain parts are basically unplayable. It’s tough.
Ever hear it by The Reverend Horton Heat?

Why did George of the Jungle make Tom Slick pop into my head?
This was my “first love” – before Superman or even Popeye.
I had already developed feelings of being an underdog (HMMM!) of sorts, so I identified with Donald Duck, as much as I loved Mickey, whose mask I wore for Halloween.
I had no idea at that age who Dumbo was, and the same with many of the others not of the immediate “Mickey Family”. But it didn’t matter. I loved the music and the images.
This past weekend, I was in a barbershop that had the radio set to a country-music station; the theme from The Fall Guy came on, because, hey, why wouldn’t it?
That said – Taxi, Greatest American Hero, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE.
Hawaii Five O. When I played in a band (briefly, a millenium ago), that was one of our covers.
Gilligans Island.
MASH.
Best cartoon theme -Amazing Three- ‘Spacemen with a mission’!. Prince Planet a close runner-up
One from the UK - Minder - went to No 2 in the charts.
And the worst - you’ve probably all heard of the legendary Heil Honey, I’m Home. Well, a full episode exists on the Tube - with theme tune. It’s hard to believe that the worst thing about a sit-com about Hitler, Goering and the Goebbels could be the theme tune - butthere it is.
