Thursday Themes

After considering a bit of the Wednesday post – The Andy Griffith Theme – I reflected on other iconic themes or introductions to well known characters:

  • The Pink Panther, courtesy of Henry Mancini
  • James Bond, courtesy of many different composers
  • Indiana Jones, courtesy of John Williams
  • Superman, again courtesy of John Williams
  • Top Cat
  • Mary Tyler Moore, courtesy of Sonny Curtis
  • Lucy Ricardo, courtesy of Adamson and Daniel
  • Jed Clampett, courtesy of Flatt and Scruggs
  • Barney Miller, courtesy of Ferguson and Elliot
  • MacGyver, courtesy of Randy Eldelman and
  • Jim Rockford, courtesy of Mike Post and Peter Carpenter

 

What theme songs stand out for memorable characters now? I confess, given what little television I watch now, I haven’t a clue.
