Favorite Live Action theme songs

Post Reply New Topic

One thing I don't like about TV today is the fact that today's TV shows don't seem to make much effort in making theme songs like they used to. Back in the day, TV shows had songs that were great to listen to. Here's some of my faves:
Doctor Who (note: This is the one used for the end of Tom Baker's era and the entire Peter Davison era. I do like the revival's version, but this one gives me nostalgic goosebumps.)
Batman (yes, I liked this show. Deal with it.)
Star Trek (original)
Star Trek TNG
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
The Cosby Show (the NBC one)
Touched By an Angel
You Can't Do That On Television
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
The A-Team
Quantum Leap
Mythbusters
The X-files
The Addams Family (feel free to snap along. You know you want to.
The Home Improvement Theme
Alf
Punky Brewster(the cartoon, not so much)

I really liked the theme song to "Greatest American Hero" - I think it was called "Believe it or Not"

This song also got radio play.

I like the Star Trek themes and themes to various Power Rangers seasons but I mostly love theme songs to animated shows like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Love the following theme songs


Buffy the vampire slayer (Theme done by Nerf Herder)
Angel (Theme Done by Darling Violetta)
Firefly (As a rule all of joss whedons shows have good themes.)
Dollhouse

Married... With Children Theme Song

I like the following theme songs:

Six feet under
True Blood
monk
Martial Law

I like a couple of shows that changed the theme music every season - Babylon 5 and The Wire (the Wire was cool because each year, a different band did their own take on the theme).

Also would say I always loved the theme to Airwolf, MacGuyver, BSG remake.
