Nice but what's with the complete non sequitur near the end. Rodeo Clown in Hawaii? I know they raise cattle on the Big Island but still....

This was after I’d given up on TV and focused on listening to music exclusively in my free time.

Don't know if anyone suggested this yet, But Hush is the title of the theme song for the series, "Turn."

Hard to beat "There's snakes in the garden..."

Then there is the theme from Grand Tour. The successor to the British original of Top Gear.

And for those of us old enough to remember:

That was from the episode where Rick was working under-cover as a rodeo clown. 😄

Reminds me of the Scooby Doo Episode when the Harlem Globe trotters were special guests. I watched it stoned. What a trip.

The Mandalorian has about as memorable of a 2-note opening as I can think of.

Doo-DOOOOOOOO

Can not believe I forgot this one!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV17B8oq_cE

And of course the most inane one from the 70s. Just and endless string of zany miscommunications leading to wild, wacky AND "hilarious" mad cap adventures that had you just rolling with laughter.... :| Not to mention the Ginger or Mary Anne? conundrum of the 70s.

I was wondering when someone would get around to that one!

But I can't believe no one has pointed to this. Maybe not the best TV opening, but certainly the most iconic!

And for those of us old farts who grew un in Seattle, there is this:
