How about "Branded". There is the toilet bowl version called "Stranded".

How about "Secret Agent Man".

you should hear the dead kennedys version. quite cool.
 
The law and order ones are good, and original.
Same with the Simpsons.

Worst theme song has to be CSI. Totally unfitting for the show.

The only one that comes to mind is "Those were the days" theme from "All in the Family". I still remember Edith Bunker's screeching voice.

My personal favorite is Frank Sinatra's "Love and Marriage" song used as the theme for "Married With Children".

For instrumentals, It has to be "Hawaii 5-0".
 
I like the theme from MILLENIUM, but then, I'm profoundly weird, and probaly one of about 25 people or so who actually watched the show.

Speaking of TWIN PEAKS, that was a weird show. What was that all about? My wife actually had it all figured out, but it just makes me want to jump out of a window.

Well, then there must be 23 more people, because I watched that show, too. I'm not sure who wrote the theme, but it could have been Mark Snow or Angelo Badalmenti (?), both of who wrote music for Twin Peaks, X-Files, and Millenium.

Lone Ranger, you have forced my hand:

We chased lady luck, til we finally struck- BONANZA
With a gun and a rope and a hat full of hope, We planted our family tree.
We got a hold of a pot full of gold, BONANZA
With a horse and a saddle,and a ring full of cattle, How rich can a fellow be?
On this land we put our brand,Cartwright is the name,
Fortune smiled,the day we filed the Ponderosa claim.
Here in the west,we're livin' in the best BONANZA
If anyone fights anyone of us,He's got a fight with me.
BONANZA
Hoss and Joe and Adam know every rock and pine,
No one works fights, or eats, Like those boys of mine.
Here we stand in the middle of a grand, BONANZA.
With a gun and a rope and a hatful of hope, we planted our family tree.
We got a hold of a potful of gold,BONANZA
With a houseful of friends where the rainbow ends, How rich can a fellow be?
On this land we put our brand Cartwright is the name,
Fortune smiled, the day we filed the Ponderosa claim
Here in the west we're living in the best BONANZA
With the friendliest, fightingist, lovingist band, And we're happier than them all. That's why we call it
Bonanza...bonanza.. bonanza
 
Was Pink Panther a show? I like it, for me Henri Mancini is a great composer.

San Fancisco Streets, Flamngo Road and one more vote for the Dallas.

I also like Alf, the former version w/o the sax. the one with the piano and slap bass. Also the Moonlightning form the 80's (Al Jarreaou?).

I rarely find anything worth listening to after the 80's.
 
Well, since no one else has mentioned it, I'll cast my vote for "Maverick".

Who is the tall dark stranger there...

BTW- when I was a small boy, I saw the "Bonanza Four" sing their theme song on some variety show. that was over 40 yrs ago!
 
You all missed the most instantly recognisable TV series tune of the lot. Totally unique and just about anybody on the planet recognizes it instantly even after 40+ years. And it is of course the theme music from Doctor Who. New series is being made I hear and all shows from show 1 of the old series are currently being re-aired at 6:00pm every weekday on the national broadcaster ABC (not ABC as in the US). Do a Google search on the good doctor and you'll see it is still a masive cult hit. Showing my age a bit me thinks.

That must have been before Lee's divorce. Oh, and I can't stand that song, mostly because it sounds country and because he can't even sing!
