What tv theme tunes you all like?

I think Hill Street Blues has the best one, closely followed by Taxi.
The Rockford Files was pretty funky an' all.

More please.

I liked the opening theme from Simon and Simon.

one of the best has got to be the theme from "Dynasty" (early to mid-eighties).

Red Dwarf is shit but the theme tune is good. Also liked the themes to Please Sir and On The Buses.

The Prisoner and The Munsters : Try em´ on yer Telecaster!

I used to love "Soap", cracking comedy too!

Laverne and Shirley.
"We're gonna do it our way, yes our way, making our dreams come trueee...."
And of course the Littlest Hobo.

He used to bring me roses,
I wish he would again,
But that was on the outside,
Things were different then,


'Cor bliey Dor' ya bloody lagger - mind me ticker!

Dumb.......dumb......dumb-dumb.....

.......dumb......dumb.......dumb-dumb....

(mission: impossible)

Fraggle Rock... best bass intro ever!

The A Team. Awesome.

And

Knight Rider. Also awesome.

"The Persuaders" ............ Who remembers that tune ?


It featured Tony Curtis and Roger Moore in the early 70's

The theme tune to Quantum Leap.

"The Persuaders" ? That was a Haunting Dulcimer melodie with a Synti bass line. Unforgetable.

"Magpie" had quite an earthy opener didn´t it?

Who remembers the theme tune to the Double Deckers?
(1970's Children's Film Foundation I think, and I used to remember well fancying the cute girl!)

Get on board,
Get on board,
Get on board the double deckers.

blah blah blah...

...on a double double double decker bus!

Way back in the days when only one of your school mates was obese, and it was perfectly acceptable to call him 'Doughnut' on national television...

The theme tune to Quantum Leap.

Amen to that.

Plus from the CRIME corner:

Perry Mason
Ironside

And of course...

QUINCY M.E.

"Gentlemen, you are about to enter the most facinating sphere of police work - the world of forensic medicine..." Ba-badda-ba doo... di doo doo da da!

And then all the students fainted :)

Wonder Woman.

"Streets of San Fransisco". Big band masterpiece!

'Law And Order' although it reminds me vaguely of Aerosmith's 'Janie's Got a Gun'.

'The Bill' before they fucked with it, but the current one is growing on me.

'The Guardian'

'Kommissar Rex'

wanders of singing *when a dog takes over control we'll be fighting till the end.....*

I've been humming that all week. Hugo, you are my personal hero for the day.

Follyfoot!
Can't believe nobody's mentioned Rainbow yet. That guitar solo is ace.

"The Sweeny"
The opening titles were great too. Camera pans over stills of stationary Ford Granadas...Good grief!

Well now you've met the pink panther
the rinky dink panther
and it's as plain as your nose
that he's the one and only
truly original
panther pink panther
from head to toes.

I'M KIDDING! I'M KIDDING!

The theme tune to "Teddy Edward" does it for me (fantastic flute work) and the jazzy urgency of the early 80's version of "The Saint" (starring Ian Oglivy) - both of which can be downloaded from tv.cream.org - they don't write 'em like they used to!
