Subject: Best TV Theme?

Written By: joeman on 05/18/12 at 8:05 am

What TV show had the best theme song in your opinion?

I am going with Airwolf.  You know damn well when Airwolf is gonna kick some ass, the theme plays.

My favourite TV theme was 'The New Hollywood Squares'.  If I knew how to play the Saxophone, that would be the first song I learn ...

I honestly don't know, Howard. The way they are remaking shows and movies nowadays, it wouldn't surprise me, however, I think they should just leave well enough alone, and not even try it!  :)

There are several theme songs I really like so I cant say one is better than another. Simon and Simon, The Virginian, The Colbys, The Green Hornet(1960's). I'll probably think of others later.

A friend of mine dressed up like The Greatest American Hero for Halloween last year. He ordered the costume online and he even went so far as to bleach his hair blonde and get it permed. We were at his neighborhood bar which had a karaoke DJ that night, and he got up and sang The Greatest American Hero theme song and the place went nuts.  :D

Six Million Dollar Man


There is a current commercial that they are showing, it's in the style and background music (and I think they even use the same man to do the voiceover who did the original SMDM).
