What is the greatest television theme song?

I kind of lean toward Peter Gunn, but there are so many.

Mancini wrote it, btw.

"The song from the original Jonny Quest show in the 60s."
You are correct. All other responses are simply wrong.

On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that some day he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his friend, Oscar Madison. Several years earlier, Madison’s wife had thrown HIM out, requesting that HE never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?

Star Trek TNG The Next Generation.
Hill Street Blues
Star Trek DS9 Deep Space Nine (way different theme from TNG)

I'll cut Enterprise some slack for being the end of Star Trek. Not too many shows/franchises last more than 17 years without a break (from 1st season of TNG to last season of ENT), and 7 of those years had overlaps (two series simultaneously like TNG and DS9, or DS9 and VOY). That's 24 seasons altogether of the TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT cluster. The NCIS franchise is the only show I can think of that can compete with that.

The theme from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show was pretty inspiring.

TV theme PIECE? To generalize it.

Or SONG? Strictly a song is sung.

If it doesn’t matter, there is so much. There is so much just of “themes” that are just instrumental pieces. Nevermind great SONGS including those that became hits!

How do we choose?

(And while we’re on this, why does “Come on Get Happy” fail to appear on so many lists of greatest TV songs? I actually have a theory…including why it wasn’t technically a hit.)

Glad you had a great time. I’ve been to Abaco many times, Nippers is on Great Guana Cay which is off the “mainland” of Abaco. Nippers was destroyed by Hurricane Dorian 2019, but has recently reopened. Sunday pig roasts are legendary at Nippers, the song you heard is by “Barefoot Man,” a local legend. Such great memories of Abaco, hope you had some Kaliks and Goombay Smashes.

For an 8 yr old boy in 62, nothing could match Fireball XL5, nothing.

Aha yes. The Jetsons were great. The old ones had such great, witty songs.

I love the line “Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet”
