Yes you can use a protected logo or slogan as a theme (with permission) but it has nothing to do with copyright.Names, titles, logos, slogans, and common words/phrases are not eligible for copyright protection. They are usually registered and protected as trademarks.

Provided that all necessary documentation was filed, yes the Munsters theme would be protected by copyright until January 1, 2012 (70 years past the death of the composer, Jack Marshall)
Yes, the Charlie Brown theme music, "Linus and Lucy" composed by Vince Guaraldi, is not in the public domain. It is protected by copyright.

The song "Who do you think you are kidding, Mr. Hitler" will be protected for the life of the composers plus 70 years. Derek Tavener died in 2010, but Jimmy Perry is still quite alive; therefore the earliest it will pass into the public domain is 2072.

You may want to avoid using the trademarked name Jeopardy, or the copyright-protected theme music, but the idea of giving answers and asking for questions would not be protected, and using the same or similar scoring system should be fine.
