Wanna hear something really sad? I lived in Oklahoma among the Cherokee in that area several years ago. Some of them just let their garbage pile and scatter in their own yards. I couldn't believe they had so little respect for the earth mother (I am Cherokee, as well as, Blackfoot, Italian, Irish, and who knows what else!) It was sad to me and my mother, who studies Native Americans as a hobby. | |

Well, we did... until the day we discovered that when the recycling bins were emptied, they were emptied into the regular trash. That got me kind of torqued - if I'd known that, I would have brought my bottles home myself, that sort of thing. | |

I am surprised no-one has menitoned Hill Street Blues yet.

Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing! | |

| Didn't Mike Post write the theme for Hill Street Blues?
Wait a minute - didn't he write the theme for pretty much all of the TV shows from the late 70's to late 80's?
I think he also did "The Rockford Files", "The A-Team", "St. Elsewhere", and a whole bunch of others... | |

Its more melodic than Fanfare. Wagner is probably the most ripped off composer of all time. John Williams would be a band teacher in Peoria without Wagner.

It wasn't a jet powered helicopter- it was a 'copter with unusually powerful turbines. This is what Airwolf looked like without all the extra stuff. http://www.kiwiaircraftimages.com/bell222.html
Here is the theme song: http://www.80snostalgia.com/classict...unds/theme.wav
And, if by "rescue" you meant "fire missiles" and "rain molten hot lead bullets of death from above" then yes, there was a lot of "rescuing" in the show.

| Dating myself:
1. The theme song from the original "Cosby Show" from the late sixites/early seventies. You can't understand a word he is "singing". It's hilarious.
2. Mission Impossible
3. Barney Miller
4. Baretta
5. Speed Racer

| I'll second Mancini's Peter Gunn Theme.
I also like Harlem Nocturne, which was the theme from the Stacy Keach Mike Hammer series. No tune makes me think of living in the city like that one. (Wierdness note. The same composer did the all-whistle theme for the old Andy Griffith Show).
Miami Vice, because the theme just screamed that something exotic and/or exciting was coming. | |

| For jazz: 'The Bob Newhart Show'.
For pop: 'The Greatest American Hero'.
For current TV series: a tie between 'The West Wing' (both the opening and closing credits) and 'Law and Order'.
