Where else could you find a former rockabilly prince (in this case none other than Sonny Curtis) writing and singing the theme song to The Mary Tyler Moore Show? That's right, the guy who wrote "Rockin' Around with Ollie Vee" and "I Fought the Law" wrote "Love Is All Around," the show's theme. No matter how you slice it, the music from the TV themes to the big shows of the 1970s was either creative, corny, fun, or some combo of all three. Leave it to the folks at Time Life Music to assemble a collection of television themes to bring you back to those places in the 1970s where all was sweetness and light - or at least you thought it was because you were too young to know differently you were blasted out of your gourd and/or you were a teen and your folks were occupied by the tube while you were doing more "meaningful" things.
