13. Nice work! I can't believe I missed Alice!

5. The only ones I recognized were...

..."The Love Boat" (m) and "The Fall Guy" (y). I never was big into the half-hour comedies.

In the heyday of 80's action/adventure/cop/private-eye shows (which I was into), there was one called "Hardcastle & McCormick" that had a wonderful theme song too. While I remember a lot of the lyrics, I don't recall exactly how it started out, and wish I could find it somewhere.

6. Try here.. they seem to have everything:)

7. Cool, thanks!! :)

They even had an obscurre favorite of mine, "Tales of the Gold Monkey" - but I like theme songs with words, generally. Now if I can manage to turn these .ra files into mp3's, I'll be happy! :)
