    These are the best, for me...

    YouTube - Knight Rider TV intro Theme


    YouTube - The A-Team Full Theme Tune


    These are part of my childhood memories... but not in english, no! These were only available in Portugal (in the late 80's and early 90's) translated into brazilian portuguese... for those not knowing... the brazilian portuguese is very diferent from the portuguese portuguese... so it was weird and that produced a lot of nice jokes that still populate my generation's imaginarium!...

    Default Pandora's Box

    This is a subject to which I have a long list of favourites, but I will edit that to my top 5. ... ahem ...

    In the number 4 and 5 positions both go to British Sci-Fi themes. Two greats that have been re-envisioned and rerecorded throughout the years and have always come out shining.

    The next two spots go one to perhaps the most rousing and heroic theme ever composed and the most horrifying kids show theme ever conceived:

    And the number one spot must go to this poetic and evocative piece which lead us for the first time into a TV land unlike any other since perhaps the Outer Limits.

    Underdog had a good theme.

    The Hilarious House of Frightenstein has more of an intro than a theme... but I like it. I watched reruns of that show as a kid and it freaked me out. I got that they were trying to be funny, but I was too spooked by Vincent Price and The Librarian to focus on the humour.

    Twin Peaks as a contender for BEST theme song, though? No way! Same goes for the other two.


    The Rockford Files
    COPS
    Hawaii Five-O
    Cheers


    Now those are themes. Instantly identifiable, upbeat, iconic anthems of television.

    Think about it: You're starring on a TV show -- do you want to be Jack Lord, chilling on the balcony of your penthouse apartment for the fly-by helicopter shot in Hawaii Five-O, or simply have your name printed over the depressing theme music of Twin Peaks, with shots of lonely wilderness and go-nowhere industrial plants? (Oh, and not to mention the pretentious douche of a director!)

    Hawaii Five-O, that's right!

    I'm down with Mike et al on the Fresh Prince. Here it is, with lyrics!
    YouTube - Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song with lyrics.



    And seeing Ironsides up there reminded me of what has got to the absolute single most swingin' TV theme song, Perry Mason. I mea didn't Ozzy Osbourne cover this tune?
    YouTube - Theme Song to Perry Mason


    I suggest the most violent opening theme is The Rifleman:
    YouTube - The Rifleman theme


    Okay, I'm stuck on the western thang. Have Gun Will Travel was sung by the boys in the movie Lean on Me:

    Oh my God I can't stop! Branded was Chuck Connors befor Rifleman. For you sword buffs, notice how his sword snaps leaving a perfect tanto point:
    YouTube - Branded


    Okay, maybe this swings a bit more than Perry Mason:
    YouTube - "Peter Gunn" - TV Theme Song


    Last one for tonight, Green Hornet:
    YouTube - TV theme song - Green Hornet


    If you are a Kill Bill nut you know that Tarantino used a few of these great thems in the soundr track
