    For sheer beauty the winner will always be: Twin Peaks. Lovely stuff. Badalamenti is king.

    For the cheese value: Thundercats ("Thundercats are on the move, thundercats are loose! Feel the magic in the air..."), Captain Planet (especially the full end song - "We're the planeteers! You can be one too! Because saving the planet is the thing to do!"), Defenders of the Earth ("Mandrake! Master of magic, spells and illusion..."), the A-Team (everyone knows this!), and Dallas.

    Immensely hummable also: The Mysterious Cities of Gold ("Children of the sun! See your time has just begun!"), Dogtanian and the Three Muskahounds ("One for one and all for one, muskahouds..."), the Famous Five ("we are the famous five! and we're coming back to you time after time...").

    And I have every single one of these on my PC, and some with the opening credits too :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭blondie83


    Dallas and Murder she Wrote are two classics, A-Team is pretty good too, and who could ever forget the planateer song! (much as we try:o )

    Transformers theme rocked! and fof the cheese factor, the captain planet theme...


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 24,924 Mod ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    How can we forget....Batman!

    The Rockford Files- for sheer cheesy-assed synthisiser sadness.

    Also, if anyone remembers the old music RTE had for Wimbledon, with those rickedy 70's guitar and those Boo-BOO! noises- they just don't get any better (better meaning terrible) than that.

    Also, not really a theme tune but have you ever woke up in the morning with a song stuck in your head and it stays there all day?
    Yeah- ever woke up in the morning with the music from Bubble Bobble in your head all day- ARRRRGGHH!

    Or how's about that old Sesame Street number song, with the pinball-machine cartoon- oh what I wouldn't do to have a copy of that in some video format.

    1-2-3-four-five!

    The Great Escape.

    The Magnificent Seven.

    The Godfather.



    TV themes arent as good as movie ones....

    But if I had to pick a tv Theme Tune ...

    It would be "Bouli"

    Remember....
