Barney Miller-  The opening bars of the bassline

The Six Million Dollar Man- The narrative along with music makes it unforgettable

M*A*S*H - That's a no brainer

Laverne and Shirley - "We're Gonna Make Our Dreams Come True"

Good Times- The theme song was quite depressing if you really listen to it

Dukes of Hazrard- Probably the biggest hit Waylon Jennings ever had

One from the days when I was young...

(The theme was much better than the actual programme!)

Featured Peter Firth years before he became a respected actor and Brinsley Forde years before he became a respected reggae artist!  :D

I like the 'Theme From S.W.A.T.' by Rhythm Heritage, but there was an even better version.  In March of 1976, a Canadian group called the T.H.P. Orchestra hit #1 in Canada after only 5 weeks in the chart with a Disco version of it
