TV theme tunes that make you happy

[RedRec]

Inspired by sitting here this morning when Beechgrove Garden came on. Such a warm, gentle programme and I get that feeling as soon as the theme music starts up. Sounds like a lovely Scottish reel. Really heartwarming.
(Just looked it up and it is called Miss Tara MacAdam.)

Little House on the Prairie

The Waltons

Knight Rider

A-Team

Magnum P.I

Pure nostalgia.

Tales of the Unexpected, however,
freaked me out.

Jeeves and Wooster. You have to get up and dance to it....Every single time!
And the series itself is brilliant too.

Was that ‘The Mysterious Cities of Gold’ - the cartoon with the Incas? I love it!

Also agree with the earlier posts on Red Dwarf.

A couple have mentioned Allo Allo, but I loved the one for the series it was sending up, Secret Army, based on the Comet Line escape routes in WWII. Brilliant series, too.

I’d add:

Bagpuss
Cheers
Hi de Hi
Tales of the Unexpected
Hitchcock’s Half Hour
Why Don’t You
Bottom (end credits)
The Muppet Show
HBO/BBCs’ ‘His Dark Materials’
Rhubarb and Custard

Oh and another one. Anyone remember The Jimmer Jammers? I think it was on the Nick Jr. channel. A cheery, funny, feel-good song and signified bath and bedtime for my kids (now 24 and 21).

My number one: Peak Practice.

Little House on the Prairie, particularly the theme at the end with Laura running down the hill with the dog.

The original Emmerdale theme with the oboe, not the current computer generated mash up.

The Detectorists

Was Sons and Daughters on around the same time as a programme about the flying doctors?

Love Bring me Sunshine Morcambe and Wise.
Jeeves
all creatures great and small
most of the sport ones - grandstand, ski Sunday, snooker

I actually only watch Match of the Day. I think one year they changed the speed it was played and there were complaints and was changed back but I can’t find anything online so maybe I dreamt it

Ski Sunday for me. I love it.

Someone mentioned Robinson Crusoe 60s theme tune looked it up then went to.
White horses
Champion the wonder horse
Casey Jones
The flashing blades
All great programmes shown in 70s school holidays.😁

The Chronicles of Narnia, from the BBC series in the late 1980s. Beautiful.

Also the Crystal maze, back in day.

Soil Limbo - the cricket theme. I like cricket, I don’t love it, but that tune has meant summer all my life.
The Cheers theme.
The MASH theme.

Soul limbo. Blooming autocorrect.

The theme tune to Bread.

Follyfoot
Robinson Crusoe
White Horses
original Miss Marple

I love it!

Love: the bill, coronation street, busman’s holiday, mastermind , krypton factor.

hate: emmerdale farm, heartbeat

Oh yes me too!

Obscure one but the Eldorado theme tune from the BBC show

Friends
Dectorists
Black Beauty
Golden Girls
Ski Sunday
