The theme to the eighties cop program continued the streak of hit TV songs for this composer/musician.

Hill Street Blues was a popular cop show from the eighties. It lasted seven seasons and won 26 Emmys.

Its theme song was composed by someone who has enjoyed a prosperous career in music: Mike Post.

  1. I especially like the theme music to MAGNUM, P.I. and HUNTER. I did not know about MIKE POST being a member of THE FIRST EDITION! CLASSIC TV FAN

  2. I didn’t watch either of those shows, but I remember HSB and ROCKFORD, and I definitely remember Post as a hitmaker. It’s too bad that TV themes aren’t pop songs like they used to be.
