100 Greatest TV Theme Songs

IMDB ^ | 8/17/22 | IMDB

[Sirius Lee]

I saw some Prisoner episodes on YT. Weird in a great way. I really love old television and movie themes.

The jazz waltz opening of Mannix is awesome. So are the opening credits to UFO. The Brit sci fi with the purple haired babes on the moon.

[AppyPappy]

Bewitched
Flintstones
Perry Mason

[1217Chic]

I like the original I Dream of Jeannie, Mannox, NBC Sunday Night Mystery Movie,Medical Center and the ending theme of That Girl.....

[napscoordinator]

Was somebody drunk and left off Friends?

[Sooner Gal]

Oldie but goodie: The Magician

Current favorite (and my ringtone): Succession

[Fiji Hill]

Some of my favorites, which they left out:

• If I Could Tell You and In My Garden--from "The Voice of Firestone"
  One of my mother's favorite tunes

• Avant de Quitter C'est Lieux (when I quit these parts)--from "Lassie"

• Blue Star--from "Medic"

• Dragnet--from "Dragnet"

• The Twentieth Century--from "The Twentieth Century"

• Puffin' Billy--from "Captain Kangaroo"

[Fai Mao]

The theme from “Speed Racer” and “The Rockford Files” should be higher.

For sheer longevity the whistling theme from Dr. Who should have made the list

[Fiji Hill]

One that I left out--

Three Stars--from "Dr. Kildare"

[Kazan]

Hawaii Five-0, Friends, Flintstones, Dallas and Gilligan’s Island.

[KarlInOhio]

No Firefly theme? Most theme songs I will skip last. A few like Firefly and Hawaii 5-0 I will replay if watching on the DVR.

The Prisoner

[DiogenesLamp]

I’ll add: “The Avengers”, “The Virginian”, “Mission Impossible,” “ Route 66” , “Peter Gunn,” , “Rawhide,” and the original version of “ Gunsmoke. “

All good choices. Also, "Daniel Boone" and the "Beverly Hillbillies" come to mind.

Fawlty Towers

[caddie]

Theme from Mannix, by Lilo Schifrin.

Great jazz arrangement.

Gilligan's Island theme was a sea shanty... very cool.

Beverly Hillbilly's theme "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" was a bluegrass masterpiece.

[Fungi]

Nope, everyone is wrong. It was Nelson Riddle and the theme to Route 66.

[OKSooner]

Peter Gunn.

[OKSooner]

Let those guys play for maybe an hour or so.

[EvilCapitalist]

How was Hogan’s Heroes left off the list?
