Guess The 50s TV Show Theme Song!

[@TheRealRealOK]

Leave it to Beaver and Lucy were my favorites as a kid in the 80s.

[@ohdaddy2029]

Lucy is my altime favorite. Then green acres is, but that was the sixties

[@stevewilliams3850]

I recognized some of these theme songs. I grew up in the '50s and '60s. Back then, at least in my household, we watched what our parents wanted to see. Some of these shows, I never had a chance to watch.

[@hscucarache4801]

I'm almost 13 and I pove all these movies! I just love watching them with my family. Have a great day:)

[@brentlionakaboldchamp]

I was born in the 80`s, but used to stay watching old-school shows from the 50`s and 60`s, and 70`s. They were witty and funny, and reruns still come on till this day of most of them.

[@LAFan]

@@brentlionakaboldchamp Late 70s here and Nick and Nite in the 80s showed all the classics from the 50s and 60s.

Back in '50's lucky you had an TV, it worked, and you got reception. had to work those "rabbit ears". No such thing as "re-runs". If you didn't watch it when it was broadcast, you were bleep out of luck. No VCRs or other taping means.

[@andyu69]

Growing up in New Zealand, we didn't have much choice. But, we doubled our channels in '75, with the introduction of TV2 Mystery surrounded, why TV's had dials with up to ten numbers?? Why would you need so many channels?

Several programs were on air in Japan in early 60s. When I was kid, I loved Westerns. I really wanted to be a cowboy. Now my son is a cow doctor.

[@ewaleokadia76]

I did poorly on the 50s shows but I am more familiar with the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Most of the 1950s shows I haven't seen in reruns having grown up in the 80s.

[@jpsned]

"You Bet Your Life" was hosted by Groucho Marx. The "You Bet Your Life" theme was based on the song "Hooray for Captain Spaulding," which came from the Marx Brothers' 1928 Broadway show (and 1930 film) "Animal Crackers." 🙂

memories of my childhood still cool in 2019

[@jefam3]

Brought back memories of my childhood, with one semi-correction I have to offer: The picture accompanying the "Lassie" theme showed the original cast (Tommy Rettig, Jan Clayton, George Cleveland), while the theme music was that used in the episodes with the third cast (Jon Provost, June Lockhart, Hugh Reilly). To the uninitiated, the second cast had Provost, but with Cloris Leachman and Jon Sheppod (sp?) as the parents.

[@aspenrebel]

Are you correct on all that? Cloris Leachman was on "Lassie"? OMG!! What was about the last thing she did? "Dancing with the Stars", a handful of years ago? "Frau Blucher!" ...... [horses heard in background] "Naaayyyy!! Naaaayyyyy!!".

I was born in '57. I nailed all but 3.

A lot of those ones I had to really listen to realize what it actually was supposed to be. And I'll bet that's why a lot of people didn't recognize as many as they would have if it had been the actual authentic song from the show. Every authentic theme I knew in the first 2 or 3 notes. What would be really fun is if someone put together one of these using the jingles from those old commercial we used to see over & over & over. Like all those cigarette commercials.... "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should...." or " Parliament...with the filter that's in...recessed in" or "You can take Salem out of the country BUT....You can't take the country out of Sa-lem".

Great! But now which was the BEST show and/or your FAVORITE show? I think "Gunsmoke" was on for 20 years!! "Honeymooners" was ONLY on for 1 season!! "Superman" was actually a pretty good show, production wise. The supporting cast was a bit "comical". I say that MY FAVORITE show is "Perry Mason".

F off point killer.

This is a guessing game. How about NOT posting the answers and ruining people's fun.

[@charlesdavis6371]

These were harder than 60s and 70s. (b. 57) Had to pause for some, and still didn't know a few of them. But I do love these vids.

[@tonyparra8459]

I've got I Love Lucy and Leave it to Beaver correct, I was expecting the Rifleman and Dennis the Menace but oh well.

[@thomas1221]

Long gone 50's 60's the golden age of television.

[@artemismoon1083]

Lucy and Superman... I recognized the names instead of the songs.

[@ohdaddy2029]

Yes

[@richardwilliams473]

The Lone Ranger theme is actually an exerpt from Rossini s William Tell Overture

[@IwatchFilm]

I only knew of few of these since I was born in the late 60's, but still very cool.

[@aspenrebel]

OMG!! "Captain Kangaroo". That was about a million years ago!!!

[@tatetate4986]

I hardly ever watched any of these shows so I hardly got any of these.

[@maryoliver8596]

I missed 10. Knew some of them by memory but couldn't pull the name out quickly enough. Fun quiz.

[@raspberrymojitogirldec]

They had some catchy theme tunes in usa i n 50s only 3 heared of if lucy and lone ranger lassie

[@ladiiblue2u634]

Wow I knew more than half

[@deliseovpstudio2978]

How about the theme to Ben Casey! ☺️ Oh, and the Jackie Gleason variety show! 😀

[@thecowboy6617]

You forgot The Rifleman

[@HCLionheart]

I love that show.

[@markrodriguez9442]

It's so hard to count how many times Lucas had cocked his rifle.

[@SeenGod]

i know the last one was Looney Tunes 🤘😎

[@DanielBrown-sn9op]

Many of these shows had their theme songs re done between seasons.

[@andrewjacob855]

Clearly the 50’s wasn’t my decade... I knew: I Love Lucy Leave it to Beaver The Lone Ranger Superman LOONEY TOONS (LOL) Heard before but couldn’t guess: Lassie The Mickey Mouse Club Never heard: Gunsmoke Father Knows Best Dragnet Perry Mason The Donna Reed Show Alfred Hitchcock Presents The Honeymooners Texaco Star Theater American Bandstand Have Gun Will Travel The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet Maverick Wagon Train Make Room For Daddy The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp You Bet Your Life The Burns and Allen Show The Jack Benny Program Captain Kangaroo Highway Patrol Playhouse 90 Our Miss Brooks Peter Gunn

[@MeWe-fh1lu]

Gunsmoke??!

[@aspenrebel]

ok, not the best playing of the music. Ha ha ha ha!! I GUESSED "The Donna Reed Show" correctly!!! I figured she had to be in there. Oh the daughter is "what's her face" from "Coach". She married Mike Farrell who played "B.J. Hunnicut" on "MASH". Shelley Fabares, right? She was also on "One Day At A Time" for awhile.

[@davidhall8874]

We didn't have a TV until I was older so I missed several. Then, when we did get one, I spent most of the time outside, summer and winter. Now days I can't stand tv.

Lone Ranger: "Tonto, you go to town"....... Tonto: "you go to bleep Kimosabe. Every time Tonto goes to town he gets beat up!".
