Thread Name: Mudcat Quiz -- TV Theme Songs!
Subject: RE: Mudcat Quiz -- TV Theme Songs!
Do you know, 'Spaw, I was in Denver visiting my daughter a few months ago, and took her to see a production of Annie Get Your Gun. And Chief Sitting Bull was played by none other than...Larry Storch! How's that for a turncoat!

I admit it, I watched the Patty Duke show all the time. As well as all the others! I'll try and work on another quiz. Maybe I'll try to make some MIDI files so we can have a quiz on instrumental themes....don't hold your breath, though!

Oh, and just because I have more work I'm trying not to do, here are the complete lines:

Beverly Hillbillies: "Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed/A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed"
Gilligan's Island: "Come sit right down and I'll tell a tale, a tale of a fateful trip"
Secret Agent: "There's a man who lives a life of danger/To every one he meets, he stays a stranger"
Mickey Mouse Club: "Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me?/M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!"
Patty Duke Show: Jeri had it right
F Troop: "The end of the Civil War was near, when quite accidentally/A hero who sneezed abruptly wheezed 'Retreat' and reversed into history"
Mr. Ed: "A horse is a horse, of course, of course/And no one can talk to a horse, of course"
Car 54, Where Are You?: "There's a holdup in the Bronx, Brooklyn's broken out in fights/There's a traffic jam in Harlem backed way up to Jackson Heights"
My Mother, the Car: "Everybody knows in the second life we all come back sooner or later/As anything from a pussycat to a man-eating alligator"
The Addams Family: "They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky/They're altogether ooky, the Addams Family"

Aloha,
Mark
