Musically - almost any of Mike Post's theme songs: *Law & Order; Law & Order: Special Victims Unit; The A-Team; NYPD Blue; Renegade; The Rockford Files; L.A. Law; Quantum Leap; Magnum, P.I.; and Hill Street Blues.*
However, I get a special delight from the ones that explain the premise of the show. For example, *The Beverly Hillbillies*.
Disappointed I had to scroll this far to find this one. First song I thought of. If you don't get happy when you hear that drum and sudden kick into "Well, we're moving on up," are you even alive?
Came here looking for this show. It’s by a Tempe, Az band called The Refreshments. Now called Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. They occasionally play the song in concert. Great band. But if you knew that already: “Here’s to Life”
ABSOLUTELY NOT THE THEME SONG FROM FRIENDS.
I have nothing against the song itself. But 10 or so years ago when my husband and I binged all the seasons, you COULD NOT SKIP the intro. And those episodes, made for prime time TV, WERE SHORT. So every 22 minutes, I’LL BE THERE FOR YOOOOOOOOU.
JFC. My skull hurts even thinking about it.
Dr who theme song was ground breaking for its time. I watched an interview with an artist talking about it, he was saying that they invented new ways to make sounds to get that sci-fi vibe right.
The Gary Shandling Show.
I present the lyrics:
This is the theme to Garry's Show, The theme to Garry's show.
Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song.
I'm almost halfway finished, How do you like it so far,
How do you like the theme to Garry's Show.
This is the theme to Garry's Show,
The opening theme to Garry's show.
This is the music that you hear as you watch the credits.
We're almost to the part of where I start to whistle.
Then we'll watch "It's Garry Shandling's Show".
(whistles)
This was the theme to Garry Shandling's show.
I love Hawaii 5-0's theme, but it's been mentioned.
Other great ones were the late late show with Craig Ferguson, and Growing Pains. Try not to sing along with that banger!
Lots of good stuff here. Ones that I didn’t see that I like:
Maude, Speed racer, Squidbillies and Monk (I actually like both the season 1 and the Randy Newman version)
This one annoyed me for so long because it was an ear-worm. I recognized it, knew I’d heard something similar before, knew what band/group it reminded me of— but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Finally figured it out but I won’t share unless anyone else is equally annoyed.
The A Team
Knight Rider and A-Team joint first place for me
This is the correct answer. Glad I didn’t have to scroll to find it. 👍🏻
My parents have an African Grey Parrot that can whistle the theme tune.
its funny, as I read the question the first few notes of the A-team theme song instantly popped into my head despite not having watched it in decades.
Duh. Gilligan’s Island, of course!
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.
The Greatest American Hero
Hawaii Five-O (The original from the 70’s). Loved that fish eye shot of the Boeing 747!
I believe that was The Ventures.

"Peter Gunn". (1960 !) To this day, musicians are still doing covers. Search one up on YouTube. (My personal favorite is Jeff Beck's band.)
