@viewDidLoad Interesting read. I don't remember the song but I'll check it out later (didn't watch the show that much) but it reminded me of various songs from shows i watched in childhood (some with lyrics, others instrumental) that are total earworms I'll never erase: Bewitched, Skippy, Neighbours, Flinstones... Etc.

@DervPerv @viewDidLoad I’ve been re-watching that series recently and singing that song. It’s remarkable ... telling that story with such a rapid jazzy melody!

@DervPerv @viewDidLoad I always preferred the earlier #Kojak theme (and the striking graphics) to the later one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY2reJ9ktRo #BillyGoldenberg

And if there was ever a TV show I could leap through the screen and be part of, it’s V.I.P. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOZ01HnH5nQ (and this theme was Emmy nominated) #FrankieBlue

@joejoetom @DervPerv It’s a damn shame that TV shows have ditched the theme songs in recent years.
