TV Shows you would only watch for the title theme

[Mikey]

Back in the day, I had list of TV shows I would put on just for the title theme song and then turn it off

Soul Train
Dick Van Dyke
Peter Gun
Bugaloos
Space 1999 season-1 (I didn't actually like this show until the early 80's)

that's all I can think of at the moment

[starsky]

for me it was

project ufo

[EMCE Hammer]

The best thing about The Batman was the theme IMO.

Green Acres
Mr. Ed
Hawaii 5-0

[Mr.Krusher]

Buck Rogers (The scene montage and the theme song was very 'dynamic' to me at that age)
Battlestar Galactica (same)
Far Out Space Nuts (Some of those aliens SCARED me as a kid man! Odd that the Kroffts did this show -with a stoned Bob Denver and a big husky guy - but Filmation did 'Gilligan's Planet'...)

Reminded me of Filmation's Ghost Busters - I had heard something years ago that Larry Storch had done porn films at one point...

NOT to be confused with: (I think that this show, for the time period, had a catchy jingle sort of like Scooby-Doo or Super Friends.. BIG ups again to Lou Scheimer. )

Curb your enthusiasm. I do like the show, but the theme makes my two year old do this hilarious little dance.

Johnny Quest .

[Nostalgiabuff]

I'll do that now for some shows....not that I don't like the show but since I have probably seen it like a million times, I just listen for the theme song
Batman
Hawaii 5-O, although now I get my fix with the new show, and I do watch it.
MASH
Sanford and Son

[SeattleEd]

Barney Miller! Love that bass line.

Barney Miller! Love that bass line.

Both Barney and Hawaii 5-0 have the BEST theme music to cut into during a gig on electric guitar..

And don't forget the '67 Spiderman Animated theme song. Probably one of the best touches in the first Spiderman movie.

Original Galactica's theme music was simply outstanding!

[Bo8a_Fett]

Hawaii 5-0
The A Team (in fact most of Post and Carpenter themes were damn good)
Joe 90
Stingray
Rawhide
Mission Impossible
Loads more but cant think at the mo

[jds1911a1]

interesting topic while many shows have classic themes I usually enjoy the show too.

of mike's original question a show you watch the theme and turn off:
Car 54 where are you
Bonanza
Wyatt Earp
Zorro
Have Gun Will travel
New hawaii 5-0

...just thinking about this when I went home last night and turned on 'TV Land'... and I enjoyed none other than..

"The Jeffersons"

One of the best '70s themes.

Hated the show, but liked the title song
