Favorite TV Theme Songs?

[John Crichton]

Okay, the Rescue Me/Firefly threads made me think of my favorite TV theme songs over the years. How about yours? The show itself may have stunk or just been a guilty habit but what were/are you favorites?

The best for me are from -

Rescue Me: Just rocks.
Angel: Strings + guitars are great.
DS9: I just really liked the composition. Liked it so much that I bought the sheet music and had my piano teacher teach it to me.
A-team: No explaination needed.
Firefly: Didn't like it so much at first but it really grew on me. Possibly one of the best TV theme songs of this generation.

Twilight Zone - How classic is that? Plus the Grateful Dead played it on the more modern version of the show.
Blackadder, in it's various incarnations.
Red Dwarf - "I want to lie, shipwrecked and comatose..."

Alfred Hitchcock and Monty Python's Flying Circus are classics, though that might be cheating as the music predates the show.

As a kid I always loved the Top Cat theme too.

Angel: Yup the stings get me, I like violin stuff (if it is violins)
Yoko Jakamoto Toto: It's a childrens program but I love the theme anyway.
The newest (in terms of shows) enterprise: I want to know who thats by, I like it lots!

Diane Warren wrote it and Russel Watson performs it. It was redone from its original version. I like the old version much better.

The theme to Angel was done by the Darling Violettas. A local band out of LA. I have their CD (though it doesnt have the angel theme on it). The CD is lost somewhere in my parents apartment. You can prolly find it on amazon.

I collect TV Themes on my pc. I have hundreds.
