What are your favorite theme songs? Here's my short list:

The opening songs from:

1) Perfect Strangers
2) Cheers
3) The Greatest American Hero

And I really hate the them song of Family Ties.

My favorites are:

Angel (haunting!)
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (one of the few guitar-heavy songs I really really like)
Daimos ending credits song (I don't understand the words but I don't care!)
The Equalizer (nice arrangement!)
Felicity (the song's title is A New Version Of Me)
The Facts Of Life (sung by Maureen McGovern, who also sang the theme song of the Poseidon Adventure and the Towering Inferno)
The Flying House theme (both with or without lyrics)
The Golden Girls (what an inspiring song)
The Greatest American Hero (another positive song)
MacGyver (seems so appropriate for the series)
Wonder Woman theme (

)

I found this website that collects TV Show Theme music. Click here to see the website. I've downloaded The Amazing Race theme from this site. Also Amazing Stories - Spielberg's failed anthology series, Due South, and Dynasty theme music.

I've always been a fan of TV Theme songs, by chance I was able to get these CD's and listen to TV themes when I wish. Browsing through Amazon for the links, I saw that additional volumes were added. I'd say "Welcome Back" and "Suicide is Painless" are tops on my list. But I also like the grandeur of "Dallas" and "Dynasty". We actually end up just listening to the whole CD and guess where the theme song comes from.

pagan · « **Reply #25 on:** Aug 08, 2002 at 06:09 PM »

Mission:Impossible

and

Angel (as in Buffy's spin-off)

There are more, but I have to think..

Oh, yes, Star Trek:Voyager and Star Trek:Deep Space 9
