think a Petticoat junction. Always lovedthat one. What I think is the
ultimate favorite? Hawaii five. OhYeah, I'm getting I'm getting killed in
my email over not having Hawaii five. Oh in there, but I kind
of felt like I had one slotfor a show like that, and I
went Miami Vice and sent in Miamior Hawaii five Oh. I get you.
We all got our choice. I'llkeep it brief because it was always

(08:52):
a favorite show of mine and thetheme song was great in living color.
That was always a classic, okay, and then my top favorite all time.
I even tried recording it on mylittle tape recorder when I was a
young kid. The theme to Simonand Simon. Simon and Simon. Okay,
now, how about that for alist, Matt pulling out some deep
cuts and Hawaii five Oh, whichisn't such a deep cut. But I

(09:13):
appreciate you calling in, Man,thanks so much for listening to us.
Thank you love the show. ThanksMan. Rich is on the line,
Rich here with Emery on news Radioeleven ten kfab Hey, Emory, I
got to go with Steve Austin AstronautA Man Barely Alive, the starting theme
music and dialogue of The six MillionDollar Man. Second best, and that's

(09:33):
a really close second, is Spacethe Final Frontier the original Star Trek theme
that had great music. Both ofthose shows had great music during the shows
and they had great themes, bothbeginning and ending themes. Sure. I
think Star Trek was the first originalshow to have a full orchestral pit do
the music to every episode that theyfilmed for the TV series, and that

(09:56):
works, I mean question, itworks. I mean obviously it adds some
much to the show for sure.For sure. A great question, though,
