		Theme songs of shows I've never seen or heard of have no nostalgic value for me. I was born in 1979, so most of these shows were off the air long before I was around.
		Gilligan's Island--This version of the theme song is the later version (which includes "the Professor and Mary Anne", instead of "all the rest").
		This theme song is what got the show on the air...it helped explain the premise of the show, which many early reviewers didn't get.

		Too often, TV Themes have been maligned or looked down upon by many, but as you'll see, some of the songs have the greatest composers of the modern era behind them, and are as cool and fantastic as any "real" song ever made.
		It's really sweet song about a guy who had dreams to leave his the city, but his dreams led him back to be a teacher, where he could lead a classroom of 40 year old kids pretending to be high school students, with all the brown corduroy jackets you could wear.
		How fitting that the theme song from a show "about nothing" seems to be nothing more than a string of sound effects rattled off with seeming effortlessness with a tune that seems to be throwaway nonsense, that become impossible to forget.

		"The 'Friends' theme is a great example of a show whose theme song was so popular and distinctive that it became what old TV themes were, which is a kind of signpost, a signal: This is part of your favorite show and you'd miss it if it wasn't there.
		Generally an original theme is significantly less costly than a familiar song (roughly $10,000 or more for an original theme versus $100,000 or more for an established hit).
		Burlingame believes the reason the most memorable theme songs came out of the '60s, '70s and '80s was that composers were valued as part of a show's creative team.

	Dragnet
		One of "Dragnet"'s most enduring imprints is the theme song, with its signature "dum de dum dum." Walter Schumann wrote the now-famous theme, which is also known as "Dragnet March" and "Danger Ahead."
		"Dragnet" is remembered by many as a quaint, nostalgic glimpse at the way life used to be.
		It was rare to see a court scene during an episode of "Dragnet." "The Pyramid Swindle" was one exception, as the officers worked to convict a woman charged with running a pyramid scheme with religious overtones.

		The original Dragnet didn't shy away from depicting the often-humdrum nature of police detectives' jobs, but paperwork and petty thefts won't cut it anymore in the supercompetitive world of prime-time television.
		Following the blood trail of the CSI franchise, Dragnet doesn't spare viewers any of the gory details, including a close-up of a forensics expert snipping off a corpse's fingertip in order to obtain a print.
		Its lack of a gimmick may be enough of a twist to set it apart from the rest of the cop-show pack.

		Dragnet's classic suspension of reality was Jack Webb taking off his cheesy sports coat and replacing it with a windbreaker to go undercover.
		The new Dragnet series, starring Ed O'Neill, is a dramatic shark jump, because it's such a gross mismatch of an actor to a character.
		The Hibachi scene was probably as close as it came to jumping the shark I'd like to respond, though, to all the people who claim it jumped the shark in the episode where the parents get high, leave their baby in the tub, and it drowns.

		I don't think the theme songs of the shows currently on are as good as a lot of the older theme songs....
		Plus I have to give credit to JJ Abrams (the producer), he was freaking out because he didn't have a theme song for it yet, and he really need one so he wrote that in about 5 minutes.
		In the 50's and 60's, almost all of the shows had theme songs, and you heard them at the start of the show and, just as important, at the END of the show during the closing credits.

		Love it or loathe it, there's a reason the producers haven't tampered with "I'll Be There for You," the Rembrandts' theme song for "Friends," after all these years: That upbeat, happy ditty is one of the most recognizable on television.
		No, the perfect theme song is one that is not only catchy and immediately recognizable but also one you never tire of.
		Television has a long history of creating music that was memorable, themes that were more sticky than a jingle and more played-out than the most popular of pop songs.

		Let's also not forget the greatest tv theme song, opening credits, great catch phrase and as mentioned many times already, Hawaii Five-O is a wonderful comforting presence on late night tv, when the viewer gets lost in the 1960s-1970s time warp that is Hawaii Five-O. Viva Jack Lord!!!

		It won't surprise fans of TV theme music that a new compilation of the top 100 TV themes of all time doesn't have much representation from recent years.
		In contrast to the years when tens of millions of Americans could identify a TV show by the first few notes of its theme song - think "Dragnet" or "Happy Days" - most TV producers at some point decided theme music was expendable.
		While many folks assumed TV theme music was just a party trivia question, Gottlieb thought there might be a market for it.

		When the plain envelope arrived for the season's first show a fortnight ago, anxious Lucky Strikers ripped it open, were relieved to find that the fast-rising Ray Anthony hit recording, Dragnet, was way down in 19th place.
		Reason for the sighs of relief: Dragnet is a blaring, full-blown version of the theme song of the popular radio-TV show sponsored by Chesterfield.
		Last week Dragnet was still 19th on the Hit Parade listing, although Variety now put it second among disk jockeys, third in retail, second on coin machines.

		If this is a Dragnet where even Joe Friday can die then this is not a safe 50's retread, this is a cop show set in a world where the danger is real, where cops, even good cops like Friday, can die.
		With Dragnet Dick Wolf is trying to give ABC their own unique cop drama.

		The title is a play on a sub-plot from the original movie [imdb.com] where the company dentist, nicknamed "Painless", is tricked into thinking that he is committing sucide by those wacky docs Hawkeye and Trapper John.
		I think there was a second theme too, but was only used for some promotional stuff, that I liked even more.
