Come on, fellow TV addicts! Speak out. Be heard. What’s the best TV theme song of all time? And why? For me, it would have to be WKRP In Cincinnati. For some reason, it just kinda tugs at the ol’ heartstrings. I think it’s that line that goes: “Maybe you and me were never meant to be…just maybe think of me once in a while.”
I suppose that “My Life” for Bosom Buddies would qualify, too, even though it was originally a Billy Joel song.
Monday Night Football…
“Are you ready for some foootbAAAAAALLLLL?!”
The Jeffersons.
Come on, no theme song can compare with The Simpsons. Thread over, go home. 
I always liked the theme to The Rockford Files.
The A-Team, sheesh. As if the world doesn’t realize that.
I have three for submission:
The Jeffersons
Barney Miller
MASH
“Hawaii Five-O” or “Mission: Impossible”
Duh!
Futurama.
And a vote for the short-lived Dilbert.
I was always a fan of The Monkees and The Greatest American Hero.
I used to know a guy who played the composition “Green Metamorphosis” for a piano competition.
It wasn’t until the competition was over (I think he came in 2nd, if he didn’t win) that he revealed the piece was actually the theme from “The Incredible Hulk”.
I admire his chutzpah.
truly, the answer is “Sanford & Son”
LOVED “Hawaii Five-0”, man. Not the show, just the theme.
“Black Sheep Squadron”.
“Miami Vice”.
“Charlie’s Angels”. No, wait…I liked the T&A, not the theme. Or the show.
Red Dwarf.
Hill Street Blues. I loved that song.
Dukes of Hazzard
Simon & Simon
Magnum P.I.
Good’un, Brynda. I’d forgotten about that one, but I used to tune in just to hear the theme.
Same with “L.A.Law”.
I always liked the MacGuyver theme. And the Dave Barry Show.
Obviously, the mid 70’s era TV shows cranked out the most ass-kicking theme songs.
Barney Miller!
Taxi!
Sanford & Son
Rockford Files
Cool funky bass-lines, jazzy horn arrangements, & soulful percussion. Everything else is simply noise.

What the hell!?
Have you people never heard of Peter Gunn?
It’s not even a contest.
I would like to hear a band like Cream do the Sanford & Son
theme, I’ll admit, but any of these holding a candle to
Peter Gunn? No way.
