The Martindale HR theme still gives me goosebumps!  I think this is hands down, the most exciting game show theme of all time and it fits a game like HR perfectly.  I think it would still work as a theme today.  It doesn't sound dated at all to me.  I'd love to get ahold of the full end credit version (why in HELL didn't they use it on the second CD!?!?!?).  The rest of this show's music package would be awesome too!

I don't know what it is, but I like themes that are in time with some kind of real life action on the set (opening "claps" as the big numbers light up).  It just builds excitement IMO.

Speaking of...what other themes were timed with some activity on the set?

Two themes I've always held a special place for...

Tattletales 1982, and Classic Concentration...

[Speedy G]

Finders Keepers.  I'd kill for a semi-clean version of ANY of the show's music.

For that matter, you can pretty much include all of Kalehoff's Nick themes.

I mean, sure most of us can agree that "Super Password", "The Price Is Right", and of course "Jeopardy!" have all become classics in there own way.

I may be in the minority, but I never really cared for the current "Jeopardy" theme.  To me, that's way too repetitive.  Give me the '78 version of the theme anyday (I just hope a clean copy turns up sometime).

I would also name "Whew", but I think most of us agree the theme WASN'T underrated!
