I will try and list as many as I can recall.

To listen to them, grab an MP3 player, Limewire - Kazza or other P2P program and get em.

EDIT: CRAP!

I forgot a few. Most notable Hawaii 5 O Damn IT!!!

There are so many... Please feel free to just post which one you like the most if yours is not on the list.

You mis-spelled 'Perry Mason' and you forgot some good ones, like The Twilight Zone, Star Trek Original Series, M*A*S*H, Get Smart, The Addams Family, Space: 1999, and at least some of the Babylon 5 themes, though each year was different. Season 1 and 2 were good themes.

Ya I know I misspelled a few things. Too late now. Your right, I missed a ton. I am kicking my self. They are all great.

Dont forget Nowhere Man.
A damn fine show with a badass theme song...

Also even though the show sucks majorly, Earth Final Conflict has that nice soothing arabian sounding music LOL

The Incredible Hulk, and The Courtship of Eddie's Father. Both starring Bill Bixby coincidentally enough, although I don't think he had anything to do with the theme songs.

EDIT: Ooo, and Lost in Space. That one was cool too. This isn't a good topic for a poll, there are too many.

Babylon 5 all the way!

Yeah, I'd vote for Bab5 - that music really set the grand theme for the program. Some other goodies:

Vids (Obscure, anarchic late night UK film reviews)
Ren & Stimpy (worth learning the guitar for)
Supergran (The Big Yin!)

Check out www.themez.co.uk - cool site.

What about "The Jetsons"? Nice jazzy feel...

I agree about "The Addams Family" - very nice theme song.

If you want recognizable, how about "Gilligan's Island" (of course, there were 2 Versions of that theme song...).

Oh yeah, the theme to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (TV show, not the movie).

Great. Now I have TV theme songs running through my head... "WKRP in Cincinnati..."

Doctor Who!!!! My god man, how could you forget the good doctor

As for Babylon 5, the season that had the Shadows and the Centauri bombing the Narn homeworld in the opening credits had the best theme of them all (2nd or 3rd season).
