What's your favorite T.V theme song?

Mine is, Hill Street Blue's. The Rockford Files, is a close second! I know, way before my time but the music is actually beautiful.

The perfect strangers theme. It's actually my comfort song. When I was in the hospital with peritonitis I kept singing it to get through the pain lol

@skybubble20 I loved this and such a wonderful tribute! Thank you, for everything!
😄🍀

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@skybubble20 I heard it on my jazz radio station today - the air of sadness to the song contrasted with the “family” in the garage. I didn’t like hearing it on the end credits!

skybubble20 · 56-60, F

@Bumbles It's a beautifully sad sensation when the music makes your nose tingle and brings you back to memories.🎼

Thought I’d throw this one in, just for the heck of it.

@WizardofOz Kojack 70s. Miami Vice, very 80s. Set many style trends. Magnum PI was big. Women went nuts for Tom Selleck.

Loved St Elsewhere. Wednesday’s at 10p I think.

WizardofOz · 26-30, M

@Bumbles I actually watch St. Elsewhere on YouTube. I guess, I'm more of a fan of the eighties comedies, there are a ton of them in syndication.

@Sidewinder If I'm not mistaken, Happy Day's, actually went #1 on radio! Good choice! It also hits close to home for me, I grew up in Milwaukee. ❤️

@Benjago Rescue Me, is that with Denis Leary? If so, that show was a classic! I think Nip Tuck used to come on after it.

Benjago · 41-45, M

@WizardofOz Yesss such a great show...such a range of emotions it would put you through. I was sad when it ended.

Iwillwait · M

I liked White Lotus' last season.

I think it was True Blood that I'm thinking of but HBO has had a few I've enjoyed. Maybe Big Little Lies?

WizardofOz · 26-30, M

@SethGreene531 How could I forget Unsolved Mysteries? That music was perfect for that show!

SethGreene531 · M

@WizardofOz Oh yeah...huge creep factor as it started. Then there was Robert Stack's voice.
I always double checked my windows and doors after.😄

Hill Street Blues really sticks in my memory too. It began as the cruiser pulled out of the garage, throwing the lights on.

WizardofOz · 26-30, M

@SethGreene531 Yep, and another cruiser going sideways in the snow.

@AliceinWonderland There is a commercial that has that song. Thank you for being a friend!

AliceinWonderland · F

@WizardofOz commercials steal good songs

WizardofOz · 26-30, M

@AliceinWonderland I know, I've actually seen that show, my grandma watches it on syndication and the song is very catchy! It's also a show I didn't think I'd like but it is funny.

For a while I had the Rockford Files ooen on my answering machine. It'd go " this is - - leave your name and number at the tone, I'll get back to you"

Then the music would play
