Can't believe no one mentioned the A-Team. I was ready to kick butt myself when that tune ended.

I think they all belonged to the 70's and 80's. From Gilligan's Island, Addams Family, Munsters, Andy Griffith to Sanford and Son, All in the Family, Good Times and Welcome Back Kotter. The "golden age" of t.v. songs, if such a thing exists.

RE: Best TV theme songs
One Life to Live is by Dave Grusin, who did St. Elsewhere. They sound the same. I don't care for either show, but I LOVE their theme songs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9zA4rUDbjISt. Elswhere, from '82. This version is GRP '85 at the Record Plant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgjWTnAEEPwOne Life to Live theme. Listen to the end for "new NFL touchdown passing leader Dan Marino." Late '84 with the modern theme. Later version had Peabo Bryson. I like it without it. Both themes are either in Dm or F |

Re: Best TV theme songs
I always liked the opening theme to Crime Story. m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=8APl40...v%3D8APl40BE3tc More for the show than the theme because it was such a great series. |

Re: Best TV theme songs
Ah c'mon, make this more challenging by combining best TV theme songs with best opening visuals, graphics, videos that accompanied the songs. The songs + the graphics are what grabbed your attention.
Early nominees:
The Addams Family (original)
Mission Impossible
Bonanza
Batman (original)
Sesame Street
Green Acres
Andy Griffith Show
Beverly Hillbillies
Get Smart (original)
Peter Gunn
Hawaii Five-O (original)

Hell yeah! "Believe it or not, I'm walking on air..."
Also like the Buck Rogers in the 21st Century theme too.
Good times and Welcome Back Kotter give me great memories too.
