Favorite TV Theme Songs

[Sean]

Mannix Theme (Stereo)

One of my fave cop shows of the 70's.

OK... a few things about Mannix.  I loved Mannix so much that I wanted MY name to be Mike Connors.  Looking at the opening credits, the theme song is ridiculous.  That is 'dusting the crystal' music-----NOT 'judo chopping a helicopter music'.... Whatever they were PAYING Mannix------it wasn't enough.  He's diving off of bridges, riding in coal mine cars, Indian leg-wrestling the Chupacabra.... it's obscene....and then, after dueling evil all day with nary a scratch, he mishandles hot toast and hurts himself (seriously, look at the opening again).

Andy's Gang

  I don't have the theme song but I was just singing to my granddaughter:

"It's Howdy Dody Time,
It's Howdy Dody Time."

Yeah to Howdy, Clarabelle - a.k.a. Captain Kangaroo and Cowboy Bob Smith(?).

Sean and Wicked Lester--- There was a recent documentary about television shows and there was a segment in it about Mannix and how innovative it was for crime dramas. I didn't see the documentary but I read about it in the paper.

Used to watch this one all the time. I think season 2 had a different theme.

Tarzan (1966 TV)

I used to watch Tarzan a lot.  I just realized that the quick shot of the elephant looks like an Asian elephant.  Either that or they clipped an African elephant's ears like a Doberman!

I loved the show "The Rebel".    I think that Nick Adams had a great future for himself and yet he committed suicide!

Rob

Rob, They only used Indian elephants!    African elephants are larger and Protected as an endangered spices.  Indian elephants will probably be put on the list because of their shrinking, natural habitat.

T.H.E. Cat and it's premise always reminded my of the movie "To Catch a Thief".  Starring Cary Grant!
