Default TV theme songs

So I was just watching TMZ and they brought up a good discussion...What tv show had the best theme songs?

The ones they listed were:
Facts of Life
A Team
Growing Pains
Gilligans Island
Mr Ed

Any other ones? I was partial to MASH.

it's not strictly a TV theme as the song came long before the show, but the Chuck producers made an awesome decision by using Cake in their intro

My top 5.

1. Knight Rider (original) My fav show as a kid, that music would start and I would get all excited.

2. Three's Company. Catchy as hell.

3. MASH

4. Twin Peaks. Absolutely love that theme!

5. The Dukes Of Hazzard

I actually have this on my workout playlist:


Others on my iPhone are:



"Due South" and "Miami Vice" were not bad.

Edit: Apparently I have to learn to type faster. Byrns beat me to all 3 of mine.

The Wonder Years - Joe Cocker's version "With a Little Help from My Friends". Yes we all know the Beatles did the original.

No love for Threes Company? How about Matlock or Perry Mason?

For some Calgary representation I would also recommend Stampede Wrestling!

Greatest American Hero is the best imo. Some others not yet mentioned:

Rockford Files

Perfect Strangers

Saved by the Bell

Gummi Bears

Family Ties

(as an aside, here's the dance remix of the A-Team theme, off Nick Frost and Simon Pegg's TV show 'Spaced'):

Airwolf is awesome, but I'm afraid I've got to go with The Fall Guy.

If you threw a party, and invited everyone you knew. You would see, the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say, "thank you for being a friend."

MASH
Firefly
Charmed
The Shield (fit the show perfectly)
Twin Peaks

Some of those aren't original themes but borrowed. I think that's ok.
