I LOVED The Greatest American Hero.
My favorites are The A-Team and Sanford and Son.

Kat, I have lurked on your blog for a while now, via Shaun, Brody, and Kristin. This post is the best one I have seen! It made my Monday morning. I am “walking on air.”

What, no one likes the Saved by the Bell theme song? Now, that’s a classic.

Sorry mine’s not TV Theme Music. If I went that way, I’d probably choose the original (1st season) theme to Monk. Very remniscent of Django Reinhardt. The guy who wrote it, Jeff Beal, won an Emmy for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music for the song – just a few weeks after they had dropped it to be replaced by a Randy Newman penned theme.

No sooner did you say “Best TV Theme Song” than I thought of “The Greatest American Hero.” I used to use that song in auditions up in NYC. I got more jobs and callbacks off of it than any other piece in my rep. Love that stuff.
Texas in Africa

Ha! I picked the theme from Growing Pains.

I chose a variation on a theme song… Beverly Hillbillies, the Weird Al version.
