Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest TV Theme Songs

Probably deserves extra credit.

 

Thank God for YouTube to be able to relive this magic.

 

This HAD to make at least the Others Receiving Votes section, yes?

 

Actually, it was No. 82.

 

BJ and the Bear on the list?



"And best of all I don't pay property tax!"

 

I couldn't make it through the *^*( slideshow. If the Hawaii Five-O theme isn't No. 1, there's an injustice.

 

I've actually thought about this stupid thread, and listened to a TV themes list on Spotify.

I am going to disqualify the great 5-0 theme song because instrumentals can't tell a story about the show like a Mary Tyler Moore theme song, yes, even a Gilligan's Island or Flintstones. Or Welcome Back Kotter.

My favorite opening is the 12 shots of Chuck Connors' The Rifleman.
