So many great ones already mentioned, so many more but I'll add Looney Toons...this link has two versions, I prefer the first.

 

 

And to add to this....

Hey @Gugny did your second fav theme ever get mentioned?

 

?? 😏 

"Helper" Emmy Jo was purdy! Hubba hubba! 😊 

[ChevyVanMiller]

Purely from a musical standpoint, this one is supreme. That bass line, wow!

I posted that early on! 😆 

 

You must have missed it. I won't hold it against you. 😉  I thought it was "Three's Company."

This one was mentioned at least once but I  don't think a link was ever provided:

Is this it? If not, I'm surprised it took this long too.

 

 

I've always liked the back story for the song, as it was sung in the movie, Suicide is Painless.

 

Director Robert Altman wanted the song to be the stupidist song ever written. He tried it himself but it wasn't stupid enough. So he asked his teenage son to write the lyrics. He did, in a few minutes.

 

The rest is history.  Altman liked to point out that due to royalties from the song, his son made exponentially more than he did for directing the entire movie.

 

Stupid indeed.

Funny you post this; I completely forgot that show existed.  But at one time I was a big fan and watched it regularly.

Even back then as a little kid, I knew Emmy Jo was hot as hell!  

 

It's funny looking at the animals' costumes now...they look terrible and crudely designed. 

 

I thought they were great back then!  

 

EDIT:  apparently Emmy Jo is Emily Peden.  She's 77 years now now!

Remember watching it with original shorter theme song as a kid.  Originally it was on Mondays but I also remember it being shown on Saturday morning when I was  bit older.

I mean a car ***** blows up!  

 

 

 

Speed Racer was just so different.  I figured out later on it was the foley/footsteps that made it different from the orchestral footsteps of Yosemite Sam running out of the 'powder room'

 

they're both brilliant.  
 

and when there's daaaangrous work to do

 

Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer- Go Speed Racer Goooooo

IMHO this is the greatest.  There's just something about this song which takes you to a time and place... even if you never lived there, you get it.

Not a TV show, but they nailed this:

I was the sickest my 7 year old body had ever been, buried in a bed for four days straight, but my folks brought me to to watch this show

 

 

I got to meet Pappy Boyington at an airshow when I was 10.  I don't think he was too impressed.

BTW, those were real F-4U Corsairs, back before things that were real were filmed doing things that really happened.  Those aircraft used to fly out of Sylmar, California, back before people used to give a ***** about whether stuff really existed.
