Television's Greatest Hits - 65 More TV Themes From The 50s & 60s is the second volume of the Television's Greatest Hits series of compilation albums by TVT Records.

According to Allmusic, "There are 65 television themes here, and apart from the little mistakes, they're almost all interesting. Among the strangest material here is the music from some of television's failures, such as It's About Time (one of the longest theme songs ever done for TV) and The Green Hornet. Also pleasing is the fact that the producers have used opening and closing theme versions of this material grafted together, so we hear the fullest possible versions of the themes from Ben Casey."[1]

The album catalog was later acquired by The Bicycle Music Company. In September 2011, Los Angeles-based Oglio Records announced they were releasing the Television's Greatest Hits song catalog after entering into an arrangement The Bicycle Music Company.[2] A series of 9 initial "6-packs" including some of the songs from the album has been announced for 2011.[2]
