643585 2008-02-26 02:20:00 I am just assuming that many US tv shows get airtime in NZ...and as such I wonder what is the first...say...TEN favorite theme songs for your tastes.

I know some of the ones I loved the most:


1) Hill Street Blues (www.televisiontunes.com)
2) St. Elsewhere (www.televisiontunes.com)
3) Peter Gunn (www.televisiontunes.com(LP_ver).html)
4) The Rockford Files (www.televisiontunes.com)
5) House (www.televisiontunes.com)
6) The Avengers (www.televisiontunes.com(The).html)
7) Barney Miller (www.televisiontunes.com)
8) Benson (www.televisiontunes.com)
9) The Bob Newhart Show (www.televisiontunes.com(The).html)
10) Northern Exposure (www.televisiontunes.com)

Now a few rotten themes:


1) Charlie's Angels (www.televisiontunes.com)
2) C.H.I.P.s (www.televisiontunes.com)
3) China Beach (www.televisiontunes.com) (the show was good, the theme sucks!)
4) The Commish (www.televisiontunes.com)
5) The Courtship Of Eddie's Father (www.televisiontunes.com)
6) Dawson's Creek (www.televisiontunes.com)
7) Dinosaurs (www.televisiontunes.com) (the first half is strange, but the second is just great)
8) Doctor Who (www.televisiontunes.com) (the show is good, the music stinks)
9) Doogie (Doo-Doo) Howser (www.televisiontunes.com)
10) The Dukes Of Hazzard (www.televisiontunes.com) (I apologize to the world for both the song and the show.)

While I was researching...I found a couple of others that I really liked and miss.


1) Evening Shade (www.televisiontunes.com)
2) F-Troop (www.televisiontunes.com)
3) Family Ties (www.televisiontunes.com) (Exceptional show..great theme!)

643588 2008-02-26 02:41:00 I like the Star Trek themes, Star Trek Generations, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise with Russell Watson singing the title theme, although I wasn't that impressed with Deep Space Nine and Enterprise series.

What about M*A*S*H and Laverne & Shirley? I used to love both those theme songs.

643591 2008-02-26 03:48:00 8) Doctor Who (www.televisiontunes.com) (the show is good, the music stinks)

Well, it depends which version of the Dr Who theme tune you mean. The same music has been with the show since it first aired in the 60s, but the current theme is much more "jazzed up" for a modern audience (and looses something in the process). But the original theme was awesome and went with the freaky opening graphics of the who in its 60s, 70s and 80s life span.

643593 2008-02-26 03:51:00 9) Home Improvement (www.televisiontunes.com)

My eldest, when he was just walking, used to come and stand in front of the TV when the Home Improvement theme tune came on. He'd do a primitive, 1-year + dance standing a few feet away, and as soon as the theme was over and the show began, would wander off. Did this for months.
