I love love love lots of TV theme songs, it'd be impossible to name all of my favorites. I'm a BIG music person, and any theme song that gets you in the mood for the show that's following it...it's perfect. Sitcoms, drama, game shows, soaps, variety shows, children's shows, talk shows...I have big favorites from every genre, pretty much.

BarneyFife · 04-04-2008, 12:55 AM

Two of my favorites are Good Times and The Jeffersons.

dawsongirl · 04-04-2008, 01:09 AM

Dragnet (2003)
I Dream of Jeannie

megamanj2004 · 04-04-2008, 02:16 AM

I have very many to name, b/c I'm a huge sucker for TV Themes.

Sitcoms:
Get Smart - especially the one from the final season on CBS.
Facts of Life, The - I disagree w/ the poster that ahted the rock version. Between FoL, Silver Spoons, and Diff'rent Strokes, FoL had the better-sounding updated theme.
Perfect Strangers
Mr. Belvedere - I get a kick out of drop-kicking my jacket...LOL!
Good Times - that gospel vibe of the theme says it all!
Sledge Hammer! - b/c of the goofy techno theme.
Taxi - Driving in the taxi cab playing this theme song on the bridge could give one the goosebumps.
Barney Miller - Someone said that whenever they heard this theme song they'd jump up and down on the couch! (LOL) I would, too!
Night Court - the jazzy feel combined w/ the sax summed up '80s quite well!
Cosby Show, The - mainly the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th season themes the best!

Dramas:
Hawaii Five-O - b/c the theme and the scenes went hand-in-hand.
Hill Street Blues - that calm piano melody makes you forget that you're about to watch a Police Show
S.W.A.T. - the theme song made you jump out of the SWAT trucks, hum to the theme, and play S.W.A.T.
Rockford Files, The - The answering machine before this awesome theme song played was top-notch!
A-Team, The - Made you wanna ride in the back of the van and pepper everyone w/ bullets...LOL!
Knight Rider - The techno theme made you wanna drive K.I.T.T. through the streets.
Quantum Leap - The soft-sounding theme made you want to go back in time.
"CHiPs" - 1st season theme was good, but when the one used from 2nd season and beyond came along, you had quite a theme song to show the gloves, the motorcycle and the shades while riding on California's Highways.
