Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

There are too many worthy themes from the 60's and 70's to list here. I would tend to agree with those who mentioned Hawaii Five-O, the piano solo from Incredible Hulk, and even Hogan's Heroes. A personal favorite however is the English show UFO (1969-1970).

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is my most recent fav.

However, I recall from my youth that The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had the all time best theme song.

Ahh for the days when children's television had real role models. Like two unemployed car thieves, their slut of a cousin, their moonshinin' Uncle and their mate who fences nicked autos.

Still... the local Mayor was corrupt and the local sheriff was in his pocket.

Enos was the only decent man in Hazzard County.

Never thought about it that way but you appear to be mostly correct. However, do you recall the spinoff where he had his own show? Didn't last long but I heard it was pretty violent.

I can still sing it years later.

"West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground where i spent most of my days. Chilling out back and relaxing out cool and shooting some b-ball outside of school, when a couple of guys, who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, she said you're moving in with your auntie and uncle in bel air. She called for a cab and when it came near i saw the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror, if anything i could say this cab is rare, but somethin home to bel air. A cab pulled up around 7 or 8 and i yelled to the cabbie, yo hommes, smell ya later, i looked at my kingdom i was finally there, sit on my throne, i'm the prince of bel air."

Let me fly,

I want to lie,
Shipwrecked and comotoase,

Nibbling at my toes,

Galactica!

And X-Files.

Law and Order had originally very good theme, but they changed the instruments later on, which was a bad move.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And Pokemon!

Yeah, I watched that. It wasn't half bad.

But I came to the view long ago that DOH was some executive's way of making fun of Southerners without being caught. The fact that Southerners loved it must have made him laugh even harder.

Anyone not stirred by the theme to "Black Beauty" is lacking either a heart or ears.
