Ellemeno:
Post your favorite YouTube of the good old days of whacky TV show openings and theme songs.  I'm requesting ones from my youth, early 60s to late 70s only.  US TV.  Feel free to start other threads for other variations.

The Andy Griffith Show

(Haven't found an actual opening sequence of the show yet, but this is entertaining til I do.)

Believe it or not, Johnny Williams (at least back then, that's what they called him), wrote the theme for "I Dream of Jeanie".  Yes that John Williams.

Jeff Wrangler:
I need to check out the "Petticoat Junction" link at home tonight--no playing anything with audio at the office!  :o

For better or worse, "Petticoat Junction" is one reason I grew up a train fan and a steam train fan.  :-\

There is a third stanza to the theme song that was not part of the show's opening sequence.  8)
