...of all time? Cheers.

Of the current batch? Head to Toe. That's a pretty nifty dance number. Or CSI Miami, with the Who's Won't Get Fooled Again...

Old 'Dr Who' tune is pretty good.

But 'Star Trek: TNG' wins hands down

And out of the new shows, Prison Break's theme is a pretty catchy number.

eljono · 22-12-2005 05:55PM

The Simpsons or The A-Team

MacGyver. had that great build-up towards the end just to get you in the mood for some mulleted action hero with a swiss army knife and an unfathomable knowledge of science....

ROFL!

Yes, as somebody mentioned Dr Who (original) had a good theme tune.

And old classics like The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Ulysses 31, Great American Hero (I think that's what it was called) and of course, The Littlest Hobo!

Fair City has the best theme song

Only joking btw....

BopNiblets · 23-12-2005 01:23AM

FOOLS!
ALL OF YOU!

"Some people stand in the darkness
Afraid to step into the light"....

Followed closely by A-Team, Nightrider, Superman (movie & TV show starring Dean Cain

), Stargate SG-1 most of the Star Treks, etc.

Jaysus, nearly forgot Duck Tales, Celebrity Deathmatch, Sanford And Son, Secret Agent Man (whatever that show was, Spy something...)

The Prisoner

Trip Hazard · 23-12-2005 06:27AM

Teh 80 were the best for theme tunes by far

The A team

for Cartoons M.A.S.K or Jayce and the wheeled warriors with lyrics and music so cheesy it makes you wanna pretend your either matt tracker or Jayce and save the world or universe

By the way i was in a night club once, and the last song they played was the A team song. the dance floor emptied but Me and my mate stayed there and took it all in, it was Cool.

SprostonGreen · 23-12-2005 11:15AM

Nightrider

Malcolm in the middle.

The Mary Whitehouse Experience.

Or CSI Miami, with the Who's Won't Get Fooled Again...

Without wishing to be pedantic, I think its a cover of the Who classic, great song nonetheless.

fade2black · 23-12-2005 11:27AM

Baywatch, Quantam Leap, incredible hulk, Batman, The music CSI had in the first series, not a fan of the who cover

Local deejay here usually ends with that 'believe it or not I'm walking on air' from the Greatest American Hero. Or the Cheers one...

homah_7ft · 23-12-2005 05:17PM

I quite like the theme tune to Law and Order but that's probably just because I like the show so much.

mickymg2003 · 23-12-2005 08:42PM

The original spiderman cartoon had a good theme tune-reall catchy.

Also the batman cartoon.

The twilight zone but thats an obvious one.

_Kaiser_ · 25-12-2005 05:37PM

The Professionals

Blue Thunder (the very short lived series - much preferred it to Airwolf)

Knight Rider

The A-Team

ando · 25-12-2005 08:02PM

nightrider by far and away the best! I have this as my ringtone:

godtabh · 26-12-2005 12:40AM

Dr Who as mixed by orbital. Best version!

A-Team. Classic

Knight Rider wasnt bad either

Nightwish · 26-12-2005 12:59AM

Law and Order
CSI Miami and NY
Greatest American Hero

Clearly the California Dreams singing the title track. What a song "Dont wake me up if i'm dreamin, California Dreams". You can just imagine the sun beating down on top of you.Nice!

Moe79 · 27-12-2005 09:45PM

Thunder Thunder Thunder Thundercats!

And basically any theme tune from the 1980s.. what was it about that decade and theme tunes?

To name but a few of the best:

The A-Team
Duck Tales
Magnum
Cagney & Lacey
Dallas
Falcon Crest
Dynasty
Murder, She Wrote
Inspector Gadget
McGyver
North and South
Even Glenroe's original tune was amazing..
the list goes on...

Of today's crop, I'd say The OC has to win.. One Tree Hill's is ok too, although I don't actually watch the show.

homah_7ft · 27-12-2005 09:49PM

I just thought of another theme tune that really drew me into the program. Funny because it's some ad for Janurary sales that has reminded me. Earth Final Conflict. The instrument seemed to merge into a voice and back again. I always enjoyed listening to that.

Best theme song...
