Thanks for the link to Carol Kaye's Kojak's theme ( user 4001!) . She is on so many TV Shows as well as film scores. I recently purchased some of her publications as well as a DVD teaching video. She is a true master of the electric (Fender Bass) . Her website is a must: http://www.carolkaye.com/

You're welcome!

Upon finding that youtube clip of the Kojak theme song one late night last May, I stayed up until almost 3AM figuring that one out.
My neighbors must have loved that.

[Richland123]

The Munsters Theme - One of my all time favorite TV shows

There were actually 2 different theme songs over the course of the show even though the tune was the same, they were played on different instruments.

Original Munsters Theme

 

[DiabolicLow B]

WKRP, both the intro and the song at the end (not sure who that was!)

 

[Richland123]

A rendition of the Henry Mancini tune Experiment In Terror by Al Caiola was used as the theme song for Chiller Theatre starring Chilly Billy Cardille on WIIC Pittsburgh, PA.

 

[Phalex]

Night Court and Popeye the Sailor come to mind.

 

[Bassmingo]

The Numbers Song from Sesame Street by The Pointer Sisters

The Streets Of San Francisco (A Quinn Martin Production)

Airwolf its synth but it still kicks ass

Invalid Link Removed

CHiPs

Knight Rider (of course)

a good tv theme is a lost art. name me 5 themes of the last 10 years that we'll call classics in 20, i bet you cant.

Don't laugh, but the Disney TV cartoon "House of Mouse" has a rocking theme. It's a Rockabilly song played by Brian Setzer and his band. If you have young kids, you've probably heard it a million times like I have.
