What are some TV theme songs you think are really good? You may take into account music from the show other than the theme if it is played so regularly as to be strongly identifiable with the show.

I'll offer a few:

"Hawaii Five-O"
"The Rifleman"
"Bat Masterson"

@Brandon9000,

Hawaii-5O popped into my mind first as I was reading the question, so I guess that wins in my mind.

But I would add:
Batman (60's tv series)
And
Star Trek (original)

@Brandon9000,

Here are some which are less recognizable, but still good theme songs (I'm noticing that I tend to think of themes from my early childhood rather than more recent ones. I'm not sure why that is.)

I remember this one from way back. Hercules.

And this one. Kimba the White Lion.

I liked this when I was a kid.

And this.

Liked the opening credits, but not the series.

@Lordyaswas,

Oh, that is good! As soon as I heard it for the first time, I went out and bought the cd with it on. Been a big fan of the Alabama 3 ever since!

As a youngster, I remember being thrilled when the theme for Juke Box Jury was played - happy days!

Was that the one with David Jacobs, now sadly departed?

And here's a tune that everyone between 20 and 80 in the UK will immediately connect with "Top of the Pops".
