How has nobody said the Gilligan theme or the Brady Bunch theme. The It's About Time theme is also great.

The theme song for "Welcome Back Kotter" was the best. In fact, I have a rule of thumb: No television show theme song is listenable unless it is written and performed by John Sebastian. In other words, the rest of them suck. :p

IMO, the best theme song ever is any of Knots Landing's. The show had the same theme song for its entire run, yet was able to revamp it to fit well into several different styles. There were disco-like versions (1979-1983), uptempo jazzy versions (1983-1987), calm relaxing versions (1987-1992), and the last season version, a revival of the uptempo versions.

"Scrubs" definitely has the best sitcom theme song I've heard in awhile. "Cheers" and "Friends" would be other favorites, and I know I'm in the extreme minority, but I love the full version of the "Joey" theme song.

Even though it's not a sitcom, "The Sopranos" has a great theme song too.

I think the theme tune to The Golden Girls is the all-time best. The Golden Palace re-mix was nice, too.

For the most unique tune, I'd have to say Seinfeld.

Three's Company (I like the Seasons 6 version best)
Baywatch (I'm Always Here- not the Baywatch Hawaii version)
Happy Days (both songs)
Growing Pains (not the watered down version)
In Living Pains
Saved by The Bell
CSI (not really a fan of the show, but you can't go wrong with The Who)

There's way to many to list them all, but my favorites (for now, anyway) are:

Angel
BtVS
Mission:Impossible
Hawaii Five-O
WKRP (closing theme)
The Wire (first season version is my favorite, but I like all three seasons' themes)
Barney Miller


Looking at this list, I realized that most of the best theme songs that were really good (IMO) are older. I don't think that most current shows put as much effort into the little things anymore, like music, or character development, or good plotting, or.... you get the picture. :)

My all-time favourite is the Hawaii-Five O (http://www.arkivperu.com/5-0.rm) theme.

I would say that Friends is probably the most popular. Enterprise is one of the prettiest ones though!

Of current shows, I would say

Scrubs

That '70s Show -
I like both the season 1 version of it and Cheap Trick's.
They are covers of Big Star's "In The Street"- which is the best.
