Best original TV theme ever.

[Pekka]

oh how could I forgot the Knighrider! I used to sing that tune at elementary school all the time. Maybe I was like 8 or 9. Everyones favourite show that was....

also mission impossible was huge here when it got here at the time.. and that tune is legendary, of course.

Then I should mention Batman.

I can still sing it years later.

"West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground where i spent most of my days. Chilling out back and relaxing out cool and shooting some b-ball outside of school, when a couple of guys, who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, she said you're moving in with your auntie and uncle in bel air. She called for a cab and when it came near i saw the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror, if anything i could say this cab is rare, but somethin home to bel air. A cab pulled up around 7 or 8 and i yelled to the cabbie, yo hommes, smell ya later, i looked at my kingdom i was finally there, sit on my throne, i'm the prince of bel air."

Although I'm almost obliged to say I agree, for lyrics you can't beat Red Dwarf.

Its cold outside,
There's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone,
More or less.
Let me fly,
Far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie,
Shipwrecked and comotoase,
Drinking fresh,
Mango juice,
Goldfish shoals,
Nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

Galactica!

And X-Files.

Law and Order had originally very good theme, but they changed the instruments later on, which was a bad move.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And Pokemon!

But Quantum Leap is the Greatest.

I just thought of another of my favourites: the theme to 'In Search Of...' an old Leonard Nimoy hosted mystery show.

Never thought about it that way but you appear to be mostly correct. However, do you recall the spinoff where he had his own show? Didn't last long but I heard it was pretty violent.

Yeah, I watched that. It wasn't half bad.

But I came to the view long ago that DOH was some executive's way of making fun of Southerners without being caught. The fact that Southerners loved it must have made him laugh even harder.

Did I miss it or has no one mentioned Starsky & Hutch? (The Tom Scott version for preference)

[SpencerH]

Morse

[The diplomat]

McGuyver
Stargate SG-1
Airwolf

Those 3 have pretty awesome tv themes.

Anyone not stirred by the theme to "Black Beauty" is lacking either a heart or ears.
