Rolling Stone Magazine is at it again, attempting to rank that disappearing dinosaur, the TV Theme Song. I'm not entirely sure what I think of the choice for #1, but it's certainly a classic.
My fave remains the first season of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Sonny Curtis' "Love Is All Around." It's there, but not as high on the list as I think it should be.
In any event, no one will agree with a lot of this but for what it's worth, here they are:
TV Theme Songs 100-51

You learn something new every day. Did you know the Dick van Dyke Show theme had lyrics? Not only that, they were written by co-star Morey Amsterdam. Who knew?

Besides the Henry Mancini version of Peter Gunn, I love the Count Basie rendition of the 1957-60 Lee Marvin series M Squad.
