TV Theme Tunes

I want to know What's the Best TV Theme tune ever?

Let's start with a familiar one.

Thundercats.

God, I can't even remember how that one goes!! use to watch some of that as well.

X-Files is up there for me. Love the theme.

The Simpsons!

He-Man, G.I. Joe, Silver Hawks, X-Men TAS, Spider-man TAS, Jem and the Holigrams, Miami Vice, 24 Theme,

I didn't know 24 had a theme tune. I thought it was just a few beeps.

Good tunes there, guys. Keep them coming. 👆

Its got to be Knight Rider!

Yes 24 does have a theme, they play it after each episode on the DVD's and sometimes during the episode in different versions.

Here it is if you want to check it out:

What's familiar about the Thundercats?

I don't know it.

It should be "Theme Songs", not "Tunes", but anyway.

Ummm....let's see.

Family Matters, Barney (yes it's very recognizable, yall know it), Futurama.

There's more, but all I can thing of right now and some good ones have already been posted.

Oh!

Law and Order.

spread the love

lead by example...i do.

is it comprehensible.....

I like the theme to House and Desperate Housewives...

Desperate Housewives...good one. I should have thunk of it.

I want to say Greys Anatomy, but it's so short and not really strong, and not mucy lyric.

I still like it though.

is it comprehensible.....

Mission: Impossible is another great one. Will & Grace has a cool tune.

And if we're doing songs with lyrics as well and not just tunes... Friends is good. The Cheers theme is a classic. And Sinatra's Married... with Children theme is great too... Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Family Guy and The Adams Family are all good too.

The OC

Veronica Mars is nice and different and I especially like the very end of it.

is it comprehensible.....

SMALLVILLE!!!!!!!!!

only me and my mate can only remember the first two words so it would sound really strange to any one that heard us

Green Acres, Gidget, Diagnosis Murder, NCIS,

And of the ones already mentioned, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Law and Order...

I'm sure I'll think of a few more.

You've at least got to know "somebody save ME".

But yeah, that's a good song.
and Charmed. and I guess One Tree Hill, and Martin, and Everwood.

One tree hill and Everwood are very good calls.

A show is not a classic unless it has an ace theme tune.

Composer Mike Post was responsible for some of the greatest theme tunes ever :

Here is a discography of his themes :

Other favourites :

The Littlest Hobo
Magnum
Macgyver
Only Fools and Horses
Knight Rider
The Equalizer
Different Strokes
Cheers
Golden Girls

For me the 80's was the golden age of tv themes, nowadays themes are lame, usually by some semi succesful, psuedo indie band

Thundercats
Transformers
One Foot In The Grave
Doctor Who
