The big three classic bed musics are, in my opinion:

Rockford Files Theme
Ghostface - Run
Trans Am - Enforcer

Theme songs --

Queen -- "Don't Stop Me Now"

Rollins Band -- "Do it"

The Zombies -- "This will be our Year"

The Sweet -- "Action"

Best Show themes by Mr. and Mrs. Paycheck, and by the Hank IV

County Mounty -- GOOD GUYS WIN (Seems like it's been a long, long time since I've heard this one on the air).

Guys -

I could use some help with the Yatta! theme and the instrumental version of "Run". If anybody can help me conjure these up in the next few minutes it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

Tom.

Is there a different version of the "Run" instrumental? I think that one is slightly different. Can someone confirm/deny? Sorry for being so difficult BUT I WANT MY 500th SHOW TO BE PERFECT!

Shock the Claw's Theme.  Never Forget.

I weirdly cannot find this on my computer, but I did find it on this creepy mp3 download site:

I would love to hear the old Smokey and the Bandit intro!  And maybe a little Dogmo tribute howl.

Congratulations Tom!

I was curious, so I put together a quick list of shows you've outlasted. Here are some highlights:

- Happy Days (255 episodes, passed around 10/9/2007)
- NYPD Blue (261 episodes, passed around 11/13/2007)
- Frasier (264 episodes, passed around 12/4/2007)
- ER (331 episodes, passed around 3/17/2009)
- Knots Landing (344 episodes, passed around 6/16/2009)
- Dallas (357 episodes, passed on 9/15/2009, about the time The Guiding Light had its final episode)
- My Three Sons (369 episodes, passed around 12/8/2009, Wally Wackiman was in the studio)
- Bonanza (430 episodes, passed 2/8/2011)
- Law and Order (456 episodes, passed 8/9/2011, Vanessa Bayer was a guest)

- TBS will be beating The Simpsons by August 14, 2012, at episode 509.

How did My Three Sons last for so long? I think Fred MacMurray worked a grand total of 12 days throughout the entire run.
