I guess we're all watching more TV these days, and I was thinking about the hundreds and hundreds of sitcoms, westerns, police/private eye, war, and variety shows since the 50's and how their theme songs and opening scenes stay with you. Part of it is the music, of course, but the visuals are also a part of what made them memorable, I think. Anyway, here's a few of mine, how about you?
I remember many late nights with Mary Jane... and me and my buddy splitting duties on the instruments. He usually rocked out the drums.
This was another fave for me. Steve McGarrett was just too cool, the way he always showed up in his big convertible. He come in at about 60 MPH and screech to a stop while getting out of the car. Book'm, Danno.
Its funny that I remember theme songs for shows I never watched. When I was a kid, I was never allowed to stay up late enough to watch shows like The Untouchables because they came on at 10PM, and bedtime was 9:30, lights out at 10. I would just lay in bed listening and wishing I could stay up to see them. Another like that is Peter Gunn ...
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
Theme songs for TV shows just aren't what they used to be. I mean sure, some of them are catchy and all, but from a musical content perspective, they're pretty shallow compared to the content of the old shows.
The musical content and mastery of those old shows are pretty much gone now. There is one new show which is on HBO that I just love the theme song to. Westworld.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I also sort of liked the long version of the theme song (earlier seasons) to The Bob Newhart Show.
Chicago Newhart or Vermont Newhart? I liked the Vermont Newhart show better, and also the theme song.
Chicago
My wife and I used to go to quite a few ballgames at old Municipal Stadium, and back in the early 80's we would get upper reserve seats behind home plate. We started chatting with the usher one evening and it turned out that his son was a regular on the Chicago Newhart show. He played one of the patients that Bob was treating named Elliott something - his real name was Jack Riley. The character he played was this surly neurotic guy, and he was hilarious.

Galactia is available on the channel "Comet", (Monday through Thursday on channel 289 on Dish) along with some of my favorites, Quantum Leap, Sliders, and Babylon 5.
