The Swing's to TV (subtitled Bud Shank and Bob Cooper Play Theme Songs from Television Shows) is an album by saxophonists Bud Shank and Bob Cooper released on the World Pacific label. The album features jazz interpretations of theme music from the TV shows Disneyland, The Frank Sinatra Show, The Bob Hope Show, The Rosemary Clooney Show, The Danny Thomas Show, The Dinah Shore Show, The Eddie Fisher Show, The Bob Cummings Show, The Steve Allen Show and The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "the basic concept behind the session is the kind of populist nod one rarely associates with cool-school jazz. Thing is, The Swing's to TV is great stuff, a cerebral and atmospheric set of ballads performed with sincerity and affection -- Shank and Cooper always make for a compelling tandem, and songs like "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Put Your Dreams Away" are well matched to their respective talents".
