    First three that came to my mind. Unfortunately... looks like others thought the same thing!

    Monday Night Football

    Land of the Lost

    Speed Racer

    Sanford and Son

    I Dream of Jeannie

    Friends (didn't the theme music make it to the top 10?)

    The Beverly Hillbillies

    Gilligan's Island


    The theme for M*A*S*H didn't fit the show. I kinda like the song a little (I like slow, morbid songs) but the show was a comedy. Just didn't seem to fit.

    The concept is morbid. But the people at CBS decided to make a comedy out of it. Seems like the whole world liked that show except me (very Shawshank-ish, I'd say).

    Some times
    Some Crimes
    Go slipplin' through the cracks
    But these two
    Gum-shoes
    Are pickin' up the slack
    There's no case to big
    No case to small
    When you need help just call

    Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale
    Rescue Rangers
    Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale
    When there's danger

    Oh no, it never fails
    They'll take the clues
    And find the wheres and whys and whos

    Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale.

    MASH was awesome... morbid shows? Have you seen the "top shows" on all the networks? CSIs, Law & Orders and countless other murder to solve cases... come on, it is TV for freaks sake.

    Did other shows of this era have a soundtrack on vinyl?

    Opening theme song is a classic.

    There's an awesome extended version you can find on LimeWire.

    All of the Disney Afternoon Themes were great.

    Okay, M.A.S.H. reminds me of a couple of shows. First the M.A.S.H unit drama on ABC, China Beach, with Dana Delany and her gorgeous legs. The theme song was "Reflections" by the Supremes.

    Then I thought about "Thirtysomething" but I couldn't remember their theme song and finally "The Wonder Years" which had a good theme song.

    Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg
    Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes - it's a duck blur
    You might solve a mystery or rewrite history

    Duck Tales, Oo-oo
    Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales, oo-oo

    D-d-d-danger, watch behind you - there's a stranger out to find you
    What to do? Just grab onto some Duck Tales, oo-oo!
    Not pony tails or cotton tails but Duck Tales, oo-oo!

    When it seems they're headed for the final curtain
    Bold deduction never fails, that's for certain
    The worst of messes become successes!

    Duck Tales, Oo-oo
    Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales, oo-oo
    Not pony tails or cotton tails but Duck Tales, oo-oo!
