Favorite TV Show Theme Songs

I found this on some retro TV shows website. This was their list of "The Best" TV theme songs. Agree or disagree? Even if some of you weren't around when they were originally shown, through the miracle of cable and satellite TV, you're bound to have seen some of them at some point or other. :D

I'm surprised at the order of some of these. Like MASH and the Rockford Files for instance, I think are classic theme songs and deserve higher. Same with a lot of them. Like the Flintstones and The Monkees and... :D

Which are your favorite top 10?
I'll have to think about mine. :D

Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.

Speaking of that theme song.

I went to a concert it was called "Wango Tango", Well he was there and he said "Are you real fans? If you are, I got a little something for you" D.J. Jazzy Jeff started up the main beat for the song and he started to sing with the crowd. That was so freakin cool.

Some good choices there, gang--thanks for contributing! :)

Mason--Great choice, Prince of Bel Air! I really liked that show, at least with the first Aunt Viv. :D And Will Smith was great!

Prisoner--was that Will Smith you were referring to at that concert?

Lollipop--Yes, the Mary Tyler Moore Show! They should at least give it credit for being such a popular one. You only need to hear the first few bars and you know it's from her show.

Heather--I was just going to add that one from CSI! :D Have you seen the two-hour seasonal finale, partially directed by Quentin Tarantino? Oohh! :eek: :D

Amos - I don't really remember much about Street Hawk except that the focal point of the show was a black bike.

I believe that The Dukes Of Hazzard is being made into a film with Sean William Scott and Johnny Knoxville playing Luke and Bo - hopefully it will be as good as Starsky and Hutch was.
