Best TV Theme Music

Hmm, I can't recall the theme to Police Story off the top of my head.

The theme music from Mod Squad can get stuck in my head with no problem.
And I do sing along to the theme for Scrubs

I loved the Rockford Files theme music!

Frankenstein ! I used to love that back in the day. Have you heard it lately? Gives me a headache now.

I love the theme music from:

The Sopranos
Entourage (which I have as my ringtone on my phone)
Rescue Me

Hawaii 5-0
Men Behaving Badly
NYPD
Quantum Leap
Lost in Space
Johnny Quest
Green Acres
M*A*S*H*

I love old spy TV show themes. Mission Impossible, The Sandbaggers, The Prisoner, Danger Man all have very cool themes.

Here's another old one: The Man From Uncle! OR Pallidon?

Some of my favs were:

Magnum P.I.
The A-Team
Amen

Heh. I'm all nostalgic now.

M*A*S*H*
House
Law & Order

We have a theme tune ?

Star Trek Voyager. That one roils through my head non-stop.

Tri

Babylon 5 has some pretty good music. I also have to say the new series of Battlestar.

Yeah, but if I reproduce the lyrics here, I'd get banninated.

My sister YouTubed the theme from 'Welcome back Kotter' the other day, and my eyes welled up.

Oh, the shame. I wouldn't mind, but I barely remember anything about the wretched series, just the music.

Rockford Files gets my vote

Theme from Miami Vice rocks

For me, hands down it has to be Newhart.

It's such a pretty tune that perfectly captures the setting of the show.

Angel
MASH
Hunter
The A-Team
Battlestar Galactica (the new one)
Oz

South Park
The Simpsons
Becker
Barney Miller
Sanford & Son
Good Times
Chico & the Man
Cheers

(and, of course, Rockford Files and M*A*S*H)

Guess you can tell when I thought TV had its heyday...

Original Battlestar Galactica
Star Trek: Voyager
Magnum: PI

I agree so much. I used to LOVE Newhart. (Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl . . . .) And I have always loved the theme music. But I noticed the wav you linked to was the "shortened" version. I recall from the original run it had a short bridge that was cut for syndication. I'd love to hear the full version with bridge.

Also, WKRP in Cincinnati. How many here can sing along?

The Munsters had two good themes.

MASH. Plus, I loved the movie's version with lyrics.

Amazing Stories.

Star Trek (TOS).

The Jeffersons.

Lost. (kind of a joke)

And I think Murder She Wrote had a neat theme.

Baby, if you've ever wondered,
Wondered what ever became of me.
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati,
Cincinnati WKRP.

I adored this show when I was younger. My favorite ep is still the Thanksgiving one where Les thought that Turkey's could fly.
