Wonderful, but not spectacular.

I thought this book was a very good over-view of different classic TV theme songs...but there were a few problems with it. As with Javna's other books, it seemed to be thrown together, and not carefully checked: for instance, some of the trivia was incorrect. I think it is a handy book to have around just in case you feel like plunking the "Mr. Ed" theme song out on the piano...but definitely not a theme-song bible.

Essential for TV show theme song lovers.

This book contains information on some of the greatest theme songs of all time. Its list ranges from the Beverly Hillbillies to Hawaii Five-O to the original lyrics for I Love Lucy. Each theme song contains detailed information on the TV show, interesting facts, and fun trivia questions. This book gave me something to do for days. This book is great for TV fans of all ages and a must for theme song lovers.
