Yup, and I'll add in Beverly Hillbillies - c'mon, we can all sing along to those.

(I'll not tell you about the time DH & I were in bed one night and took turns singing the Petticoat Junction theme song...I have NO idea what brought it up, but I bet it involved alcohol!) "Come ride the little train that is rolling down the tracks to the junction..."

My personal favorites were "Taxi" and "Dexter".
