Comment:

Here's a story of a lovely theme song, a catchy little ditty sung by three girls and three boys about their blended video family — it never became a chart buster, it never won a GRAMMY®, but the "Theme From The Brady Bunch" wrapped up the goofy innocence of the TV show in one scant musical minute, and wound up a beloved nugget of American pop culture. Our [i]TV Themes[/i] Essentials is packed with these small-screen wonders, from Danny Elfman's fantastic, bombastic "Main Title Theme from [i]The Simpsons[/i]" (performed by the Alf Clausen Orchestra), to the criminally underrated super-pop of the Partridge Family and "Come On Get Happy," to the work of TV theme maestro Mike Post, including his saucy "Theme from the Rockford Files" and his sultry "Theme from Hill Street Blues."
