Best TV Themes

Barney Miller
The Bob Newhart Show

The Flintstones, but I prefer cover versions without the lyrics, especially when done by a good jazz combo.

**Underdog **

“Speed of lighting,
roar of thunder,
fighting all who
rob or plunder”

Green Acres

and for pure cheesyness

Wonder Woman

“In your satin tights,
fighting for your rights,
and the old red white and blue”

Already mentioned:

Hawaii Five-O
Mission: Impossible
Welcome Back, Kotter
MASH

Others:

Falconcrest (never liked the show, though)
Pink Panther
Courtship of Eddie’s Father
Bosom Buddies
Scooby Doo, Where Are You? (from the 60s, not the newer crap)

Around 1990, on the American Broadcasting Corporation, there was a semi-caustic sitcom called Siblings, that lasted only about eight weeks before cancellation. Anyway, it featured a theme song by George Clinton that included lines like “Love will remove the blood stains”. As I may have been the only person watching this show, I doubt if anyone else remembers this theme.

Thanks Steve - it’s now playing in my head and the repeat button’s stuck on… it’ll probably be on for weeks now…
My vote…

Six Feet Under

I envy you.

I have the theme from UFO firmly embedded in my brain.

Justice League

That’s alot better than having the theme from H. R. Puffinstuff burning a hole in your brain.

Mission Impossible
60s Spiderman
MacGyver
Cheers

Horrible series…great song (IMHO)

  • Lost In Space*

An early taste John Williams years before Star Wars.

Dr. Who
Gigantor
The Littlest Hobo
Jonny Quest
Land Of The Lost
Blackadder
and of course T.H.E. Cat(I named my feline Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat after him!)
