What's the best TV theme tune ever?

[heavycola]

Post ur faves and I will make a poll!!111!!!!!

AIRWOLF!


Because the Streethawk theme was by Tangerine Dream, and it's awesome:


Twin Peaks, obviously


The original Doctor Who, courtesy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where all good electronica began:


Now please you youngsters, post your pokemen and your mighty morphous power ringers and your japanese mangos and lets hear 'em

Season five was weakest on story, but had my favorite version of the theme song:

[AndyDufresne]

MASH's theme song always fit the show pretty well I think.




Star Trek: TNG also had a theme that inspired as well.




But really, if you want both great opening imagery and a great theme song, check no further than Cowboy Bebop.

I've always been fond of "The New Scooby Doo Movies" theme.



And, of course, you can forget ol' Dick van Dyke!

The Persuaders

[Ace Rimmer]

Red Dwarf, obviously. I can't find a video of it though - probably some on some UK sites that I can't get to.

Also the Macgyver theme, but ONLY the Brazilian version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Sawyer ... television

I liked the art style of the opening to The United States of Tara



Another one that really fit the show's bill was, more recently, American Horror Story:

The Sopranos'!

[saxitoxin]

An absolutely incredible theme song - sadly, they spent so much money on purchasing the composition, all they could afford for the visual element of the opening credits was an one-shot of a skeevy looking guy playing bass in his living room.

BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY

There's no competition. By far the best TV theme ever:

sadly, most people here are too old to appreciate it. the pokemon song is ingrained in the memory of almost every 18-25 year old in america

According to wikipedia, it was only on for one year. Also, it was terrible. All I can remember is the theme song, and that I would sing it in my head while playing sports all through childhood.
