Choosing just three is almost impossible. I could do a top three.

Doctor Who - the original
World in Action - again, the original jam
Robinson Crusoe

It's A Living

This is probably my all-time favorite TV theme


Life's not the French Riviera
Believe me, life's not a charity ball.
It isn't all a great, big bed of roses
It's not like showbiz
But the main thing I suppose is
We're not the people you envy
Believe me, we know we're doing okay
We may be less than wealthy
But better yet, we're young and healthy
And anyone who's young and healthy knows
That that's the way the traffic flows
We've no misgivings
It's a living.

The What's Happening! theme was written by Henry Mancini who also wrote the Pink Panther theme as well as the music for numerous films and TV shows such as Battlestar Galactica and Charlie's Angels to name a few. Here's an extended version.

On Youtube there are some episodes of a 70s Australian show called Matlock Police. The theme tune is brilliant.

The Flashing Blade (original title "Le Chevalier Tempête") did indeed have a catchy theme tune, but it was 60's not 70's.
