Best theme song from a TV show

[TurboTer]

Regardless of whether you loved or hated it, which TV show do you think had the best theme song of all-time? For themes without words, Knight Rider is probably my favorite. With words, I like several, like The Jeffersons, The Facts of Life, The Dukes of Hazzard, Small Wonder, Welcome Back Kotter, Charles in Charge, and many more.

Mission Impossible had the best theme song w/o words.

 

[GN One Day...]

THE DUKES! Thought of that right when I saw the topic. The one for Enterprise seems pretty good, even if a bit hokey. Magnum PI had the JAM man! LOL!

With Words: Gilligans Island

Without Words: Get Smart

Well M.I. was taken already.

That 70's Show (the original). I have the full song as an MP3.
It's nice to hear rock songs with more than 3 chords...

Waylon Jennings, with the Dukes for sure. Also, there was Northern Exposure which was one of my favorite shows and themes(great harmonica!). The theme for Sanford and son is way cool too. The Waltons theme is very soothing...Goodnight Johnboy

Peter Gunn: a spy show from the late 50's. Go to Kazza and d/l it. Classic spy theme.

That theme song was sweet. Fast cars, cool trucks, and that shot of Heather Thomas walking into that doorway in that bikini....Damn!

That was a TV show? Believe it or not, that theme is best known in Spy Hunter, a 1984 video game. Great theme.

Yeah, that was a great theme song. I haven't seen that show in like 15 years, but I have the theme on .mp3 (along with about 120 other TV themes).
