What's your all-time favourite TV theme tune?

[fishdishwish]

Inspired by the passing of James Garner, as The Rockford Files had a pretty cool theme tune composed by Mike Post (who also wrote the Hill Street Blues and A-Team themes, amongst others).

For me, it has be a tie between The Littlest Hobo & (despite it's rather dodgy lyrics) The Fall Guy. Oh, and the lovely sweeping orchestral piece that Granada used to play at closedown (remember those?!) in the 1980s.

Also love Hawaii 5-0 , Maid Marion and 'The Chain' F1 theme.

DOCTOR WHO DOCTOR WHO DOCTOR WHO DOCTOR WHO!!

I do love the Littllest Hobo (does it have dodgy lyrics??) also Champion the Wonder Horse

Also the theme tune to Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy - think it's by the Eagles

[OnlyLovers]

This thread's ace.

I LOVE the Pink Panther. The incidental music throughout was brilliant too.

MASH is beautiful. Love Auf Wiedersehn Pet. And Hill Street Blues. The Sopranos. The Muppet Show.

Was it Brush Strokes that went 'Beeeeecause of yoooooooooooo'? Loved that one.

It had a man up a tree playing a lute, watched by a fox. Telly in the old days was basically nuts, wasn't it?

Petrocelli circa 1978! No-one I know remembers it, it was great

The office:

[fishdishwish]

bunnybing , the dodgy lyrics bit of my OP was a reference to The Fall Guy theme, with all those slightly un-PC references to the ladies he has (or indeed hasn't) been with. It was only relatively recently that I discovered it was Lee Majors himself who sang it!

Another couple of crackers...Diff'rent Strokes & Sons And Daughters!

[CheerfulYank]

I would like to state, to everyone who loves the True Blood theme, that Jace Everett once kissed me and called me beautiful. As you were. :o

My favorite is Cheers. And love Jeeves and Wooster.
