70's Tv Detective Shows Theme tunes were brilliant.

good for quizzes

Man in a Suitcase. Although I'm not sure it was the 70s.

The Adventurer has to be easily the best of those tunes...a John Barry classic;

The Persuaders which I think was another John Barry composition

Hawaii Five-0 was my favourite tune of that era.

on the subject of detectives does anybody remember one called BARRETA with robert blake in the lead role?

I do.

He had big problems in his personal life away from television.

does anyone remember vega$, think it was robert ulrich?

my cousin was mad on Barreta but I never saw it

I used to really enjoy Baretta. It was on ITV late at night in the mid to late 70s and was a bit of a cult programme. Few people seemed to know about it.

It also had one of the best theme tunes: Keep Your Eye On The Sparrow, sung by Sammy Davis Jr.

Here's the Baretta theme tune with a few stills from the programme (I'd forgotten about the Cockatoo until I saw him again!):

I liked Petrocelli and MacMillan and Wife. I remember Vegas elise, the character name was Dan Tanna.

Van der Valk.

yes that's the one slippy, had a corvette in his house, as a kid thought it was amazing

i think that's how i ended up being a gambler, women, cars, cards, bright lights and all nighters

My favourite ones are:
