Best TV Theme Music
 

OK, here is one for you all. Which TV show has the best theme music?

I have to go for the 'Dr Who' Theme. And if you want to hear a new take on it, look for the version done by Orbital. WOW!

Danger man. As opposed to Danger Mouse.

The Simpsons! :)

Being this long in the tooth, I’ve heard too many TV theme scores to pick a best. As for uniquely identifiable TV music, I have to say the theme for The Twilight Zone does it for me.

Speaking of being long in the tooth......what about the music to MISSION IMPOSSIBLE...

for music you can always recognize... Hawaii Five-O

Gilligan

Magnum PI

I agree with Magnum and Mission impossible, but what about a classic one like Kojak? And several years ago there was one called policedoctor Simon Lark or so, and I also like the one of Quincy. And that police TV show with William Shatner, J. P. Hooker or something like that, all great!
And I have some great titlemusic of cinema films in my mind: James Bond: live and let die (of the Wings), Buck Rogers, Star Wars, Rocky,... endless! :)

Theme music that always get my attention: The Twilight Zone, Twin Peaks and M*A*S*H.

How about Bonanza or Paladin or are they to old for you kids to remember/;) ;)

...and Law And Order, and Miami Vice, and Pink Panther, and CI5, and Falcon Crest.

M*A*S*H, Miami Vice, my personal fave is Moonlighting

I have to agree M*A*S*H was good too !

Do you want to try for...
 

77 Sunset Strip
Lone Ranger
I Love Lucy
Howdy Doody


(I'm so old I fart radio dust):rolleyes:

How about the "Untouchables" theme, Nelson Riddle's music just puts a chill down my spine... and of course, "Perry Mason"... those old enuff fer ya?

P.S. PF, I bet you remember "Kookie, lend me your comb"?

I even remember combs.......
 

....although I haven't needed one for thirty years:rolleyes:

Re: Do you want to try for...
 

I probably do too then PF, as I remember all of those. I absolutely LOVED Howdy Doody!!

Also recall: Surfside 6
Route 66
Hawaiian Eye
Peter Gunn - really great theme music!!
Jim Bowie
Wyatt Earp
(sadly I can still "sing" at least part of all of these themes-at least the ones with words)

Guess that's enough. I'm beginning to feel like a senior citizen...:(

Scarecrow

Yes, loved "Have Gun Will Travel"

Sprinkles

Let's duet some time (quiet chuckle)

(chuckling too) Don't know if that's such a good idea, OF.
Although I enjoy it, I really don't sing all that well.:o
You might want to bring along some earplugs:D

Miami Vice and Peter Gunn were quality.

How about Josie and the Pussycats?

Sprinkles,

I have always like the theme song to Greatest American Hero (ok no laughing I can't help that I loved the show just something about it)
I also love the Malcolm In The Middle theme song

If you liked Edward Woodward, did you get 'Callan'?

Another top theme.

Let's not foget the theme from "Rawhide" on the oldie list

Okay- I have been driven crazy for days.... then, I woke up, and I figured it out!!

Sanford and son!! YAY!! Now I can go on with my life!! *big grin*

I always loved the opening bass line on "Barney Miller", too...

The Munsters and The Adams Family

Malcolm in the Middle is done by a band called They Might Be Giants.

Just for info in case anyone cared.

The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson


I don't watch Leno so I don't know if they still use the same theme music or not. Doc and the Orchestra were great with that theme though! :thumb:
