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.
