The theme from Season 2 of Rhoda makes me feel like I'm emerging from an alcohol or drug induced stupor, very confused about my surroundings, and am beginning to feel agitated and anxious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZgKXt7si4g

Racist.

Holy shit, I forgot Barney Miller - the Season 3 version ... I think it changed every year for the first four years to some degree or another.

Seriously though, for your consideration...I'm not saying this is the best, but it does a great job of setting up the show and characters for "Chico and The Man". Never thought much of the show but Jack Albertson is masterful in anything he does and Freddie Prinze off'd himself at 22.

And Jose Feliciano has a beautiful voice.

That’s a good one. I barely watched that show and I immediately remembered the theme when you mentioned it.

Crazy that anyone was offended by Jose's definition of a heartfelt rendition of the National Anthem during the '68 World Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1ZQawbo4Mo




Strange to label "conformist" a song penned to celebrate an upstart nation fighting against a colonial power.

I stumbled across one this weekend that I had forgotten all about but always liked, and I know it’s not an all-timer but the theme song from Kids In The Hall was an awesome little guitar pop tune.

I think the Kids in the Hall theme was the track I was most excited to hear when I got that Television's Greatest Hits CD because after we moved we didn't have Comedy Central anymore and I missed it. I think our cable system added it that Christmas, and then I got in the habit of setting the timer to tape that and Win Ben Stein's Money during the day.

If we want to make this a Kids in the Hall thread that'd be fine by me, by the way.

The theme to Hunter is a jam. It's pretty much a track from a Sega Genesis car racing game.

I was on YouTube over the weekend and kind of fell down the KITH rabbit hole. There is something delightful innocent and low-budget about that whole show. Some of the skits are pretty dated and not as funny as i remember them being when i was 18-20 years old, but some of it is still pretty funny, even after all of these years. The Pit Of Ultimate Darkness with Simon and Hecubus still makes me laugh. I always thought Kevin McDonald was the funniest of them, he always had that scared, nervous look to him. It was kind of nice seeing a skit comedy show that wasn't just a bunch of political impersonations like SNL.

I mentioned this thread to a friend, who pointed out that the entire Quinn Martin Productions catalog could use its own subthread.

I liked the theme to Barnaby Jones, complete with th announcer listing the cast and finishing with the episode name: "Tonight's Epsiode: How whistler stopped whistling."

Yeah, Kids in the Hall always seemed to exist in its own universe (and I don't just mean Canada), which has really kept it from aging like fish the way most SNL does. They also weren't as into popping the crowd with recurring characters -- I mean, they had some, but not like SNL. And I maintain that Monsieur Piedlourde was just a years-long setup to the punchline of "M. Piedlourde Goes to the Moon."
