My vote is for the Hawaii Five-O theme song.

I have several favorites for opening TV theme song.

Masters of Sex
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOlSJyl_1Hg
The show is about Virginia Johnson and Bill Masters work in the 50s/60s around ob/gyn but leading into their revolutionary book on sexual theory. It also dealt with the issues of the times such as civil rights. The opening music is great and I love watching the imagery (flower opening, key in the lock, champagne bottle opening, etc). I thought the show was very good and it gave me a feel for what it was like in the late 50s/early 60s.

Boardwalk Empire

The music is great including the HBO opening. I love the images of the ocean, Nucky Thompson standing there, the waves splashing, the bootlegger bottles in the water. I very much enjoyed the whole series. I’m a sucker for period dramas.

The Sopranos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLxSUKA--Dg
I’m not as fond of the music but I love looking at the different scenes of Tony Soprano driving out of the Lincoln Tunnel, onto the NJ turnpike, past the refineries and finally pulling into his driveway. I grew up in NJ so I recognize many of the places in the clip. Great TV series that is responsible for the quality TV dramas we have today.

Mission Impossible

This was my favorite show as a child. Catchy music and great montage of scenes from the show.


I never watched Hawaii 5-0 or Bonanza growing up. Are they still worth watching today? There is too much already on my to watch list.

Has any one watched the original 5-0 and the new series? Is one better than the other?

I like the new show. I just couldn't stand Jack Lord. JMHO

I am a big 5-0 fan also of the show and the music. I don't remember too much about the original, but the new show has more warmth to it, IMHO. I will really miss it. I can't believe the Fri. night line up will be gone soon. I really miss Magnum PI.

Another one of our favorite is the theme song from "The Ranch". We love to sing along with it.

+1 for the Sopranos theme song.

I think this music captures the spirit of this tv show quite nicely.

Gioachino Rossini...


When first married in 1959, our first big purchase was from Sears/Roebuck..
It was a sleek cabinet Hi Fi record player..
Our records were mostly jazz and we wanted to hear what "Hi Fi" really sounded like so we bought a copy of the William Tell Overture.. Wish I remember who recorded it..

We played that loudly.. Looking back, I know I must have irritated some neighbors..

I got goosebumps watching this. I remember watching this as a kid.

I watched maybe half of the first New Version Hawaii 5-0 show,
just could take it!
The original 5-0 with Jack Lord was no better, to me!
But Jack Lord as a person was a very nice man, he was one of my patients … I worked for a dentist for a few years in Kahala. Actually, we had many "celebrates" come to that practice, not sure why, but …
