5 best TV Program theme songs

[disneychrista]

ahh, how did I leave out Mash, WKRP Hahaii 5-0

Because there are just too many good ones to limit it to 5.

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

Big Love before they changed it.

But that's really not a tv theme song, per se - it's an actual song that they used for the show. I love that song, but I can't count it.

I'm relieved someone mentioned the theme song to Married With Children before this got to 2 pages.
So yeah:
Happy Days
Married with Children
Dallas
Gilligan's Island
Tiny Toons
Saved By the Bell

 

[starvenger]

Honourable mention:
Starvengers

Also the CSI themes. I'm not the biggest Who fan, but the songs worked.

And I find it funny that Animotion's "Obsession" was used for both Saturday Night's Main Event AND Fashion Television

So for me, here's my five
The Hockey Theme

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

X-Men

Batman: The Animated Series

Robotech
