Loved The Rockford Files.
Mike Post was a one-man industry for a while there: The A-Team, Hill Street
Blues, Magnum PI. I forget how many others he had a hand in.
Not to mention The Greatest American Hero, Cheers, The Jeffersons, Good
Times.
Quincy Jones wrote the Sanford & Son theme, for goodness sake.
There seemed to be a golden age for TV theme songs. It's definitely passed
now. The average show has to squeeze in so many commercials that there just
isn't space for 'em anymore.
