Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
Shaft, ya, damn right

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
Shaft, can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
Shaft, right on

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
Shut your mouth
But I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft
Then we can dig it

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
John Shaft

Shaft is a movie. Was it ever a TV show?

BEST: The Gary Shandling Show

This is the theme to Garry's Show,
The theme to Garry's show.
Garry called me up and asked if I would right his theme song.
I'm almost halfway finished,
How do you like it so far,
How do you like the theme to Garry's Show.

This is the theme to Garry's Show,
The opening theme to Garry's show.

This is the music that you hear as you watch the credits.
We're almost to the part of where I start to whistle.
Then we'll watch "It's Garry Shandling's Show".

This was the theme to Garry Shandling's show

No but quite possibly one of the best theme songs ever. (I snuck it in)

Making a post, and having a reply quoting it, that occupies 8" of total screen on my monitor does not qualify you or the "snuck it in" discount.

Your payment for this month's posting privileges will remain one hundred dollars, and yousuck cents. :D

I'd have to go with the theme song from Firefly as my favorite

That is a GREAT song, co-written by Whedon. I find myself singing it out of the blue for no reason. It's a real earworm, but not an unpleasant one.

Conversely, Dollhouse was one of the worst ever. Nothing can out-do The Love Boat, though.

Come and knock on our door
Take a step that is new
There'll be kisses for hers and hers and him
Threes Company too.

**Hangs head in shame for not noticing**

Worst: Did Charles in Charge have a theme song?
Heck yeah. Terrible.

Charles in Charge of our days and our nights.
Charles in Charge of our wrongs and our rights.
And I see I want Cha.....

And so on.

Unless I've missed them, no one has mentioned the two perhaps most hummed tv songs. The Think song from Jeopardy and the Batman theme.
