UFO!
Gawd it is hard to find anyone that remembers that series. Around 1972 or so if I remember. I loved it, moonbase and all.
If you can revisit it, it holds up fairly well.  It tells a fairly consistent story throughout the series. I watched it again when it was first released to DVD and then when I first had Dish network, they had a channel that showed old UFO episodes.

Originally, Space:1999 was going to be the second series of UFO when an attack caused the moon to be tossed out of earth's orbit.

Don't you hate it when that happens? I'm pretty sure that's one of the secret agenda plots of the Tides Foundation.

Possibly a very early experiment with a pre-0.01 version of the as of yet untested VRWC anti-gravity machine gone terribly, terribly wrong.
Maybe not...

I always liked The Rifleman theme song. Linked below is the opening and closing versions. It was the first TV theme song that I was aware of that they used through the entire show, in every scene, but with different arrangements for the mood of the particular scene. But it was always the same score.

Just watching that clip brought tears to my eyes. I loved that series, the final episode, with their office trashed, their agency's neon sign teetering on the edge of falling off the wall...I still remember sitting in my quarters in Kwajalein, 1/2 drunk, teary-eyed missing my friends...

Oh good lordy!
The Rifleman?!?!
Chuck Connors?  I forgot more of these shows than I remember. The Rifleman?!!!  I loved that show! I had a Daisy B-B gun and *I* WAS the Rifleman!!

Traversing the banks of the S. Fork of the Salmon River near Stanly, Idaho...running across the banks of Red Fish Lake with my Daisy B-B gun, fully loaded with the BIG 25 cents tube of BB's...*I* WAS the Rifleman!!!

(Then POP! dad would kick me in the butt, tell me to "get back into the damn car", and Chuck died right before my eyes...sniff...)

CHiPS had that groovy disco theme happening.  Even if the show wasn't that great, the theme song was good.

I actually liked CHiPs as a little 8th grade chitlen. I hated Ponch, (Erik Estrada), thought he was a self-absorbed jerk. Fast-forward 25 years, every show he appears on, My Name is Earl especially, I have come to love his comedic genius! He really is a great guy and actor and his poking fun at his-self is beyond reproach!

Baretta. Stupid cop show, but hey, if Sammy Davis sings your opening theme, that theme is a good theme.

I loved watching that show when I was a kid, but looking back and watching some of them, I have to wonder if I wasn't suffering from some kind of temporary brain damage.

Here's a modern-day version of the Green Hornet Theme, performed by Mnozil Brass, a kick-ass brass ensemble out of Vienna, Austria.

BTW, the original Green Hornet theme was played by trumpeter Al Hirt:
