Awesome additions. It was really hard to keep this to 25 selections. There was a lot of adding, removing, and shuffling!

This was fun.

Three more that I would add:

1) The Rockford Files

2) Sanford & Son

3) The Electric Company

The 70s were the golden age of TV themes IMHO.

One that I'm glad you left out: Friends.

The All In The Family theme and Free To Be You and Me make for such an interesting juxtaposition. 50+ years later our society is still having these same arguments about free expression, gender identity, and such.

Other fun ones: Three’s Company, Scooby Do, The Love Boat, Happy Days, Barney Miller, and M*A*S*H (which was really hard to type 😄).

All great additions! I also considered Air Wolf, the MacGyver (sp?) theme, and so many others. The playlist could easily have been 100 themes deep!

This was lots of fun. I’ve always loved the theme from Dukes Of Hazzard. I would also include the theme from The Littlest Hobo.

I don’t know that one, Lou. I’ll have to do a little research!

Not sure how you missed Quincy Jones' SANFORD & SON theme!

When needing to get up in the morning, you can’t beat the opening themes to “Babylon 5” and “Max Headroom.”

I’m glad you’re finding it fun. I wasn’t sure what the reception would be!

I didn't miss anything. It didn't make my Top 25.
