I Dream Of Jeanie.

 

Doo doo, doo-doo doo DOOOOOO doo...

[Guest DawnBTVS]

Adventures of Pete & Pete...honest...give it a listen and odds are you'll be able to place it if you heard it again in 3-4 months

[Guest cartman]

"Love and Marriage, Love and marriage..."

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

I think theme song and I think Twilight Zone, X-Files, any animated show (Flintstones, Jetsons, Simpsons) and Miami Vice.

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0]

YES!! Married With Children

 

"They go together like a horse and carriage"

[Guest bravesfan]

IIRC, TV Guide did a poll on this a few years ago, and the award went to "Hawaii Five-O".

 

I'll put my money on that too, simply for the universal recognition of that theme.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

The Married with Children theme is an old Sinatra song he cut like 30 years before the show came out, so that gets recognized for other reasons.

 

I'd go with Cheers, Gilligan's Island and Hawaii Five-0. I mark for the Rockford Files and Sandford and Son themes.

[Guest MD2020]

Peter Gunn

This should win just because it has a whole generation of fans who know it as the "Spy Hunter" theme.

[Guest Chuck Woolery]

Mr. Rogers would be my pick.

 

"It's a beautiful day in the neigh-bor-hood..."

 

C'mon, everybody's heard that one.

[Guest nl5xsk1]

Top 5 most recognizable (in no order):

Gilligan's Island

Brady Bunch

Monkees

Hawaii 5-0

MASH

 

My two favorites:

Barney Miller (well, the end theme is the one that I remember, I'm unsure if it's the same one before the show or not)

Courship of Eddie's Father

[Guest Vern Gagne]

I mark for the Rockford Files and Sandford and Son themes.

[Guest areacode212]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet:

 

Come and knock on our door ...

We've been waiting for you ...

Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,

Three's company too.

 

Come and dance on on our floor...

Take a step that is new ...

We've a loveable space that needs your face,

Three's company too.

 

You'll see that life is a frolic and laughter is calling for you ...

Down at our rendez-vous,

Three's company, too!
