They did, unfortunately. The American networks insisted on changes for series 2 and Gerry Anderson was more or less pushed aside. Fred Freiberger (ex Star Trek) was brought in as producer and he introduced more 'bug eyed monsters' than Anderson could take. He also dropped the long standing music association Anderson had with Barry Gray, totally changing the iconic themes and background mood music ... not for the better.

But then we wouldn't have had Maya!

It's almost certainly been mentioned already, but this masterpiece:

It brings me back to being 13 or 14 and watching Twin Peaks for the first time. I think they used to show it on Network 2 on a Wednesday night around 11.30.

It was just so different to anything I'd watched before, and I loved how they used the theme music throughout the show itself. Shame about the latter half of the 2nd season, but still a ground-breaking TV show.

Greatest American hero, home and away and fall guy, dukes of hazard and Beverly hillbillies an honourable mention.

Charlie’s theme tune for the bar in always sunny too.

My favourites have already been mentioned but

Thundercats used to get the full blast volume back in the day

Kids have brainwashed me into liking this one so much so that we got the artist's album!

I have a fondness for the BSG theme tune too especially it's echoing of the original 70's show.

Erik Estrada was so cool. Definitely book you for speeding and then run off with your wife.

Favourites mentioned already. One if them, Twin Peaks is possibly the most memorable.

More modern one is theme tune to Big Little Lies. Shots of the Californian coast are amazing and the tune is brilliant.

An oldie is the Howard's Way theme song, which was a series about posh yuppie types in the 80s that my parents watched. Think it was on BBC.

Errashareesh · 09-08-2020 02:48PM

God, so many great TV themes. Most mentioned.

And other modern ones: Cold Case, Happy Valley, The Affair.

Oldies: Dynasty, Sapphire & Steel, Thunderbirds,

Was checking out Monkey recently. Hilarious (much unintentionally). Crackly with poor special effects and terrible dubbing. Also no obvious reason why it's called "Monkey" that I can tell? There doesn't seem to be any monkey and the original Japanese title means "The journey west" or something.

Class song though, and a fantasy martial arts series in a mystical land - can't see a down side.

You've probably never heard of Follyfoot, children's TV series made by Yorkshire TV in the seventies, but the theme is a classic:

You have to put youtube tags, not img tags. ^^^ (Edit: NVM, post deleted, it would seem)

The main character (the chap that was flying around on a small cloud) was a monkey, that's why. It's based on either a Japanese legend or on an old Japanese folk tale. They also made a cartoon version.

Can’t believe I forgot it, but the littlest hobo is the best theme song ever.

Family ties was an absolutely cracking show and also had a great theme tune.
