You woke up this morning Got yourself a BEST TV THEME TUNES POLL NOMINATIONS AND DISCUSSION gun (End date - 12/11/12

I think that was a separate song/theme.

There were several incarnations:

The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour
The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show
The Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes Comedy Hour
The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show

ABC began re-running The Bugs Bunny Show on Saturday mornings in August 1962. The series was rerun in color beginning in 1965, and remained on ABC until September 1968. At this point, the series switched to CBS, where it was combined with The Road Runner Show (which had aired on CBS since 1966) to create The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour.[5] The standard Bugs Bunny Show opening and the announcer's introduction of Bugs Bunny ("that Oscar winning rabbit!") were directly followed by the rabbit's saying, "...and also starring my fast feathered friend, the Road Runner", after which The Road Runner Show's theme was played.

I believed "Linus and Lucy" appeared in some of the various Peanuts specials, but I'm not sure about the cartoon series. And I wasn't entirely sure if we were counting things like Television specials.

Cowboy Bebop "Tank!"

There have been enough Charlie Brown specials over the years for it count, I'd think.

So re the Looney Tunes, er, tunes, in order to give each character their due, is it cool to nom this way:

The Bugs Bunny Show
The Road Runner Show

cos I totally think of them as distinct without having one contained in the other the way the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner hour/show does.

Can I vote for the Law And Order "DUN DUN" noise as well as the theme tune?

petticoat junction

Mad Men

thank god no-one has nommed the benny hill show yet

- Children of the Stones

My god, that is one hell of a theme tune

It really is, would be astonishing in any context and even more amazing to think that it's from a kid's TV show.

I'd forgotten Children of the Stones completely, but the moment the intro started it brought back all these foggy memories of trying to watch that show without my parents knowing.

I don't know enough about the Peanuts canon, i'll let you guys sort yourselves out.

Def counting MotD.

Lost in Space (seasons 1 & 2 only!)
Match Game
Emergency!
The Electric Company

Forget what I said about splitting the BB RR tunes; how often do you a get a 2-for-1 on a tv theme? Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour should stand.

Yeah Electric Company's a great one! "We're gonna turn it onnnnn, we're gonna give you the power!"

Robin's Nest

^ good one if you like a spot of moog with your easy listening

This is basically the result of me looking up themes written by Mike Post:

NewsRadio
Renegade
Riptide

love the White Shadow theme

Germany's Tatort is a fave:

That just made me think of The Shadow Knows - Link Wray. Think it was an old radio series, but it is a great theme tune.

Kojak
Space: 1999

CSI ("Who Are You")
CSI: Miami ("Won't Get Fooled Again")
CSI: New York ("Baba O' Riley")

Neither of these turned up on search, unless YouTubes were posted without comment: The Partridge Family and Room 222.

How big will our ballots be? Because I'm already trying to cram about 70 things into my top 20.

Well I wasn't expecting this enthusiasm so I was just going to say top 20. But now...

The Incredible Hulk - Lonely Man Theme

Glad someone mentioned this. I just reacquainted myself with it on youtube. That was some heavy and sad shit for little JF.

"Doc Bruce Banner ... pelted by gamma rays"?

Mr Veg is obsessed with the Hulk lonely man theme

Not the opening theme, the closing theme where he's always walking off into the sunset.

xp

Ooh, that's very nice.

Also, the "Doctor Banner ... pelted by gamma rays" theme was the theme to the Animated cartoons from the 60s, not the live action tv show.

Freakazoid
Earthworm Jim
Samurai Pizza Cats
Sailor Moon
Matlock

"Doctor Banner ... pelted by gamma rays" theme - Incredible Hulk

On the topic of Bill Bixby...

The Courtship of Eddie's Father

The Mighty Hercules

Round the Twist

haven't had time to post or brainstorm but i am excited about this

Medical Center. Seriously underrated Lalo Schifrin joint.

Hong Kong Phooey

Teen Titans
Outlaw Star
Azumanga Daioh
Paranoia Agent
Daria

Oz
Homicide: Life on the Street
Millennium

I love Homicide as a TV show, but I kind of feel that it has one of the weaker theme songs out there.

Here's some more I dig:

Swedish children’s TV show “Alfons Aberg”, or what a TV theme song written by Henry Cow would sound like

All those old TV songs with singing in them:
Fireball XL-5 (once heard a great straight version of this by a local free jazz combo)
Branded (as not sung by Jeff Bridges)
Bourbon Street Beat
77 Sunset Strip
I Married Joan
Hawaiian Eye
The Rebel (come on, JOHNNY CASH)
The version of the Bonanza theme song sung by Lorne Greene ("We chased Lady Luck till we finally struck BONANZA...")

Funk and more funk:
Barney Miller
Benson
Supertrain (any version of the theme)
The Bill Cosby Show (Not the Cosby Show- I mean the one with “Hikky Burr” as the theme tune)

Daktari
The ‘60s Iron Man cartoon
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Sealab 2021
Gumby (one of the only actual “rock” TV theme songs ever?)
Except for maybe Hardcastle and McCormick- sublimely perfect ‘80s rock cheese
Lost in Space- but only the John Williams version
I’ve always had a soft spot for “WKRP in Cincinnati”.
The Spiderman theme song, particularly the French version for the Quebecois market

And of course all the obvious classics (half the output of Mike Post, etc.) as well.
