WKRP in Cicinnati's nonsensical rock song is a classic closing theme.
One of my favorites.

Frasier's "Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs" is another.

My favorite ending has to be the season second closing of the Monkees called For Pete's Sake (available on Headquarters).

I Love Lucy-the version used in the show's last few seasons, and Ben Casey.

Remembering You from the end of All In The Family is classic.
And the Cheers closing song. Definately.

If I'm not allowed the jazzy closing theme to Howard's Way it would have to be the 1970s comedy The Likely Lads."Oh what happened to you..whatever happened to me.."

Definitely the rock closing song for WKRP in Cincinnati. (Though I LOVE the opening theme song too.)

And definitely The Incredible Hulk theme song- I love the opening theme song, but I think I love the closing song even more- to me, this show is more known by the closing song than the opening. The "Lonely Man" theme is so iconic to this series- it is very much the theme for the whole series.

These are my favorite too

OMG I love "For Pete's Sake" that's the catchy timeless song that stuck in my head made me buy a Monkees CD with that song on it
