Fair-ish signal (S3-S4) heard via the Empire, Michigan, SDR. I'm mostly listening in USB mode ...

2215 UTC: "Scooby Doo" theme song.
2216 UTC: "77 Sunset Strip" theme song.
2217 UTC: "The Tra La La Song" by The Banana Splits (also the theme from that show, if I remember right).
2219 UTC: Theme song from "The Electric Company."
2220 UTC: "Mork & Mindy" theme song. My childhood TV-watching habits are coming to mind with these themes.
2221 UTC: "Starsky & Hutch" theme song by The Ventures.
2224 UTC: "Mighty Mouse" theme song.
2226 UTC: OM on mic said something real quick, possibly, "Am I the only one singing along?" before the theme continued. That was followed by the "Speed Racer" theme song.
2227 UTC: "Match Game Opening Theme" by Robert Arnold Israel.
2228 UTC: "Wonder Woman" theme song. Lynda Carter from that show was one of my earliest crushes.
2230 UTC: "Linus and Lucy" by Vince Guaraldi Trio (from the "Peanuts" Christmas special).
2232 UTC: "All in the Family" theme song ("Those Were the Days").
2233 UTC: "Barnaby Jones" theme song.
2234 UTC: OM on the mic: "A Quinn Martin Production," which is meaningful to those who watched 1970s' show credits, followed by "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" theme by Stu Philips.
2238 UTC: "Reflections" by Diana Ross & The Supremes (used as the theme for the underrated show "China Beach").
2241 UTC: Theme song from "Dr. Who." OM on the mic said it's the "extended dance mix."

Thanks for all the great TV theme songs this afternoon!
