I agree, great themesong.
The show will go on forever as a synonym for bad TV.... but the themesong will be well-remembered.

My vote.... Cheers

although I like all of Norman Lear's themesongs and the themesong to Mary Tyler Moore.
And basically themesongs in general, but those are the best.

I consider the following to be the best in these two categories:

Theme song w/lyrics
I Love Lucy
The Addams Family
Laverne & Shirley

Theme song w/out lyrics
I Dream of Jeannie
The Munsters
Here's Lucy

Overall, my vote goes to I Love Lucy.

Even though there was lyrics.... I would consider ILL to be "w/out lyrics", because the instrumental theme was what most of the world is accustomed to.

Not a sitcom, but this (http://home.comcast.net/~aka909walrus/wokeup.mp3) is the greatest TV theme of all time.

"Cheers" and "Friends" not only had great theme songs, they fit the shows perfectly.

The theme music for "Will & Grace" is pretty catchy too.

I'm not really sure about sitcom. Mama's Family's theme song really puts me in the mood for the show, but I wouldn't call it the best. I really liked the first season theme song from Reba too.

But the BEST TV theme song EVER OF ALL TIME is the 1982-1983 arrangement of the Knots Landing theme song. I really like how all of the primetime soaps from the period kept the same theme song every year, but just made different arrangements of it. I like the disco themes of KL's early years the best. I also like the more romantic versions of the late 80s...
