[yossi]

I really enjoyed the "Orange is the New Black" theme song. I'll second M*A*S*H*.

[Fata Morgana]

All the Starsky & Hutch themes were good but this was definitely the best.

House - Massive Attack.

I also loved it when they would close out with Teenage Wasteland. (it's called something else, isn't it? I can't recall what and can't be bothered while on phone)

I like the beginning. .. It goes a little off the rails in the middle there, though.

 

[Riles]

Baba OReilly by The Who.

Thank you. I figured you'd know.

 

[spacekowboy]

Thank you. I figured you'd know.

I'm like Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons when of comes to music.

The middle bit is just from the long version, that was never on telly. It's the beginning and the end that are best.

Mission Impossible Intro

 

[spacekowboy]

To this day I still want a Waylon Jennings telecaster.
Mostly because Waylon Jennings kicks a truckload of ass but also because of this.

[Not Normal]

Baretta

I forgot about that one, and how good it is.

Night Court had a funky little bass line below a jazzy clarinet . Not something you hear every day.

Night Court Theme (Intro and Outro): http://youtu.be/tUltrX-ICew

I always thought there was a lineage to the Barney Miller theme. The bass, and Ney Yourk studio funk vibe. I think the melody is soprano sax, not clarinet.

All the Starsky & Hutch themes were good but this was definitely the best.

Another I forgot about.

Someone has already said Sons.

Sopranos is a good one, Original series V was nice and eerie.

And how about this little gem for the nostalgic among us...

Tell me you did not shed a tear!

I love that show.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

Let's do one in reverse. The song is titled "Puffin' Billy." What was the show? (No fair clicking the link first).

All you senior citizens from the UK should get this one.
