Best tv show theme song?

[Carl]

Well, it's old, but it is the ring tone on my phone.
Hogan's Heros.

I am really surprised no one said the Brady Bunch yet...

Yes, they did:

Current - Big bang
Classic - Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch

Growing Pains
Facts of Life

Friends

Just for sheer lunacy, how about Under the Gun by Randy Newman for the short-live series Cop Rock.

It was weird. The opening sequence was actually shot in a recording studio as Randy Newman sings the theme song. Members of the cast are in the studio listening and grooving to the music.

Gunsmoke - nice and relaxing, I can imagine someone ambling along on their horse

Wagon Train - kind of grand & sweeping, like our country!

Too many great choices.

WKRP!

Such a great show

Ooh fun! I don't know how to qualify best, but some of my favourites are:

Friends
The Jeffersons
Beverly Hills 90210
One Tree Hill
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Days of Our Lives (don't know if it counts as a "theme song" but I mean the music in the opening where MacDonald Carey says "Like the sands of the hourglass, these are the days of our lives)
