Sanford and Son Greatest American Hero Cheers First three that came to my mind. Unfortunately... looks like others thought the same thing!
Monday Night Football Land of the Lost Speed Racer Sanford and Son I Dream of Jeannie Friends (didn't the theme music make it to the top 10?) The Beverly Hillbillies Gilligan's Island The theme for M*A*S*H didn't fit the show. I kinda like the song a little (I like slow, morbid songs) but the show was a comedy. Just didn't seem to fit.
The Fall Guy http://home.comcast.net/~millenniumbiz2/tv/Fall_Guy.mp3 Here's a great site that has pretty much every television theme song. http://www.melaman2.com/tvshows/A1.html
Best Theme songs. Square Pegs - by the Waitresses The Adventures of Pete and Pete - by Polaris The Gary Shandling Show - by (I don't know but it was a good one) Batman - by (I don't know) Get A Life - by REM
The concept is morbid. But the people at CBS decided to make a comedy out of it. Seems like the whole world liked that show except me (very Shawshank-ish, I'd say).
Some times Some Crimes Go slipplin' through the cracks But these two Gum-shoes Are pickin' up the slack There's no case to big No case to small When you need help just call Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale When there's danger Oh no, it never fails They'll take the clues And find the wheres and whys and whos Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale.
MASH was awesome... morbid shows? Have you seen the "top shows" on all the networks? CSIs, Law & Orders and countless other murder to solve cases... come on, it is TV for freaks sake.
There's an awesome extended version you can find on LimeWire. All of the Disney Afternoon Themes were great.
Okay, M.A.S.H. reminds me of a couple of shows. First the M.A.S.H unit drama on ABC, China Beach, with Dana Delany and her gorgeous legs. The theme song was "Reflections" by the Supremes. Then I thought about "Thirtysomething" but I couldn't remember their theme song and finally "The Wonder Years" which had a good theme song.
