A notion I've been pondering recently.. maybe some fellow Canon'ers can pitch in and tell us what your top theme's were/are

For me...

1. Charles in Charge (external link) - It's just a great song!

2.Magnum P.I. (external link)

3. Hawaii 5-0 (external link)

4. Animal Hospital (external link)(A personal nostalgic choice ;) )

How about you?

I'm not really keen on TV at all or video in general (if there is something I would hate - video tutorials, I want it in writing!)

Anyway... as a theme I think this is rather brilliant - and the best part, they still use it today:

Tatort
-> http://www.youtube.com​/watch?v=gvalGxHcgCw (external link) (full version, 3 minutes something)
-> http://www.youtube.com …pV2faxne4&featu​re=related (external link) (33s as used on TV)

Bond is nice too (the old stuff)

Hawaii 5-0 is great, but Gilligan's Island is pretty groovy too.

But, download (from Itunes) the song from "The Streets of San Francisco."

Great tune with amazing solos.


Thank you. bw!

They showed Cowboy Bebop (external link) on tv, so I'm going with that.

Ghost in the Shell would be my second choice.

That's is my favorite show and has been since I was in junior high. I like the movie version of the song better than the TV version.
