[Jason]

Magnum P.I. Should get some consideration for instrumental.

[|Numbers|]

Rockford Files.

Speed Racer.

The Jefferson's.

Good Times.

[Bengals1181]

doesn't necessarily fit the poll question since its a movie, but the opening song of The Amazing Spiderman 2 remains one of my favorite pieces of a soundtrack ever.

 

[Bengals1181]

Also, the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves theme is one of my all-time favorites.

Hunt for Red October

Hill Street Blues

Which version of Barney Miller theme song ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II71tmVsKrE

Gilligan's Island is still one of the best. 

[Jamie_B]

Probably not fair because of the song but this nailed it for me....

 

[Enon Bengal]

Thanks turds - now I can't get the Mission Impossible song out of my head 

[|Numbers|]

Probably not fair because of the song but this nailed it for me....

Yup. Not fair. One of the most emotionally moving songs ever, IMHO, by the Stones.

[|Lucid|]

Dr Who, 1963 - 1967

 

2nd Best.

Dr. Who, 1967 - 1980

 

[TheBeaverHunter]

 

 

[|High School Harry|]

Alfred Hitchcock Presents ("Death March for a Marionette)

Twilight Zone

Bonanza

Weeds 

na na na na  na na na na BATMAN

 

[Jason]

Dukes of Hazzard should have made the list.  Oh well.

 

I still would have voted for Cheers though.

[|High School Harry|]

Monday Night Football... All My Rowdy Friends etc.

Hey... really rocks the house at PBS on the Jumbotron.

[Bengals1181]

X-Files?

[|High School Harry|]

Bonanza

BTW... The Wrecking Crew on Netflix is EXCELLENT with a Bonanza theme trivia right at the beginning.  Also Muscle Scholes on Netflix anoint the same theme (no pun intended). 

Also going way back and retro is the theme from the old TV show Route 66 (Nelson Riddle). Top Ten hit in its day, I think.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw1tiNGQ4wI

Or, along the same lines, Peter Gun. (Henry Mancini) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oysMt8iL9UE  Later a hit by the fantastic Ventures and covered by Duane Eddy.

 

[T-Dub]

1. MASH or Miami Vice

2. Newer but I like the High Strung's "Luck You Got" from Shameless..  Later discovered the lead is a guy but they kind of remind me of The Pretenders

[ValleyBengal]

Maybe not the best, but the most sung (at least in my opinion) is the "Brady Bunch" theme song.

[Jamie_B]

Alfred Hitchcock Presents ("Death March for a Marionette)

Twilight Zone

Bonanza

Weeds 

na na na na  na na na na BATMAN

 

Walk Off the Earth did a cover of that song....

Did you happen to watch the series?

One of the running jokes of the series was the theme song was so intentionally BAD that it was a joke itself.  They then had different people/groups/styles doing the intro, a mariachi band, mournful hillbilly, etc.  In later seasons the joke was compounded by the animation of the credits was different every week with a "Where's Waldo" like joke of trying to find the hidden marijuana leaf in each segment.  Pretty funny.  Another bit of Weeds trivia is the kid who played her creepy youngest son did the voice for the main character, Nemo, in the Disney animated feature Finding Nemo.

Can't say I did no.
