I guess I'm a generation too young to recognize any of those. Can any old people help me out here? No offense 
Left to right, top to bottom.
Sanford & Son
All in the Family (AWWWCHIE!!)
The Jeffersons
Different Strokes
.... um.... it is right there! Fish (Abe Vigoda) is RIGHT THERE and I can't think of the name of the show.
In reply to maschinenbau :
Clockwise from top left: Sanford and Son, All in the family, Barney Miller, Different Strokes, The Jefferson's. All 1970's sitcoms.
Edit: I see that Pete must be in the same age bracket as me. :-)
Lower right is Barney Miller

My favorite of the bunch. In fact, one of my favorite shows ever.
Every cop I've ever asked, said Barney Miller was the most realistic police show. Also, Ngaio is wrong. The answer is Street Beater, the Quincy Jones theme for Sandord & Son.
Nah - best theme song has to be Mission Impossible in 5/4 time. Or maybe Harlem Nocturne in whatever the cop show was with Stacy Keach.
The other show that is similar vintage is Taxi. Today Danny Divito character ( Vinny De Palma) would have been on a first name basis with HR.
Latka also had some good lines

You're right, Mission Impossible in 5/4.
If you need convincing:
And a meme, so I'm in compliance with the thread.
I was discussing how absurd perfectly manicured lawns are with the GF.
And then I found the perfect GRM meme on that subject:
Best TV show theme song?
Continuing the theme song theme, I challenge you to read this without having the tune play in your head:
And, while we're on the subject of time signatures:
Mr. Rogers' "Won't You Be My Neighbor" theme was recorded live during filming of every episode. Literally a jazz trio doing it live and a little different every time.
Related, wholesome meme:
Here's a professional musician breaking down how intricate the music on Mr. Rogers' Neihborhood actually was. Seriously, in case you needed something else to remind you how wonderful Fred Rogers was, he wanted to expose kids to real, complex music that was simultaneously accessible but not dumbed down.

A friend of mine, whenever he saw me loading up my truck for a scrap run, used to hum the Sanford and Son theme song at me.
Theme songs...
This was the absolute best when I was a kid.

I used to get that at home when I would drag home a lawnmower the night before trash pickup or something.
When you can't drive yet, you tinker with lawnmowers and hotrod them...

A toll booth operator in Chicago was humming the Sanford & Son theme as we rolled up in SanFord on the way south. Hense the name.
