I can't believe no one mentioned:

Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide.
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

New York is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square

You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.

Hehe...I think that's one of the songs I ended up singing with my wife when the original conversation came about.

while i think knight rider is one of the coolest, another theme caught my attention because of it's brilliant expository function.

renegade.

lorenzo lamas motorcycles his way to foil plots of many a pastier-skinned villian. unfortunately i don't have a link for this musical gem (renegade fansites seem to be dead for some reason!) but imagine a gravely voiced man uttering the following words:



"He was a cop, and good at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin, and testified against other cops gone bad. Cops who tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter, a RENEGADE! "

i'll admit this raises more questions than it answers, and sounds like it was written by a fourth grader. but he's a renegade. he makes his own rules and looks damn good doing it.

ok, i admit i've never seen this show. but those are words from the actual theme song.

this song ranks right up there with stan bush's "the touch" from transformers: the movie. covered by dirk diggler in boogie nights, "the touch" offers wholly unprecedented self-assurance. (not techincally a tv theme, but certainly entertaining)

Wow, most of my favorites are already here.

The Munsters
The Incredible Hulk (the closing theme, mainly)
Get Smart
Galaxy High School (just watched a tape of this the other day. The Eagles' Don Felder composed the opening theme)
Spider-Man (60's version, not so much the 90's one)

Cartoons used to have great opening themes. If you watch Fox toons lately, there isn't one out of the bunch that isn't a crime against humanity.

Have to agree with the frist post M*A*S*H and the theme song is Suicide is Painless.

Through Early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see

(chorus)
That Suicide is Painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

Try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever present hate
But now I know that it's too late
And (chorus)

The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
That (chorus)

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give a seat
For that's the only painless feat
'Cause (chorus)

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works it's way on in
The pain grow stronger watch it grin
For (chorus)

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied "Oh why ask me."
Cause (chorus)
And you can do the same thing if you please

for the rest i would have to say

Transformers
G.I. Joe
Las Vegas
Evangelion (import anime)
Theme from Macgyver.

OOOH! Bonus points! Too bad I don't really have anything to award.

Of course, it should be said that the words were only used in the movie version, and were never part of the TV theme song. (Probably too depressing).

Gone fast with a girl named Bo
But somehow they did not end up as mine.

It's a death defyin' life I lead
I take my chances
I die for a livin' in the movies and TV
But the hardest thing I ever do
Is watch my leadin' ladies
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knee

I might fall from a tall building
I might roll a brand new car
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman
that made Redford such a star.

I never spend much time in school
But I taught ladies plenty.
It's true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs
blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I end up in the hay
it's only hay, Hey Hey.

I might jump an open drawbridge
Or Tarzan from a vine
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman
that makes Eastwood look so fine.</blockquote>
Who'd'a thunk it? Lee Majors could sing. Sort of.

Hate to be a party pooper but are we just listing our favorite tv shows, or the shows we grew up with now? Seems they'd be the themes we remember/like the best; i.e. for me it's macgyver/murder she wrote as they were on together when i was a kid. nowadays i geek it out with ds9 being my favorite star trek theme...and stargate sg-1's is cool too. all the old school disney cartoons...haha ducktales, woo-ooo. the late-80's sitcoms like cheers, cosby show, growing pains, night court, etc i can all remember too. ah the good ole' days...now everyone just uses the pop song of the month.

There's a new show called Rescue Me that has an AWSOME theme song!

C'mon C'mon Lyrics by The Von Bondies
url=http://www.warnerreprise.com/asx/vb_cmoncmona_128-a.asx


On another day c'mon c'mon
With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I ever learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)

As I make my way c'mon c'mon
These better nights that seem too long
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)

Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)

And know this day these deepened wounds don't heal so fast
Can't hear me croon of a million lies that speak no truth
Of a time gone by that now is through

I love the Firefly opening song:

Take my love, take my land,
take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care, I'm still free,
You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out into the black,
Tell them I ain't coming back.
Burn the land and boil the sea,
You can't take the sky from me.

There's no place I can be,
Since I found Serenity.
But you can't take the sky from me.

Absolutely awesome, and it captures the feel of the show exactly. Understandable, really, seeing as the song was written before any real work began on the show
