What Is Your - ONE and Only - Favorite TV Show Theme Song ...and why?

[tomcat]

You guys have come up with some really great theme songs, several of which really brought back memories. Here's my suggestion:
"Welcome Back," from "Welcome Back Kotter," sung by John Sebastian

One of the few songs I know all of the words too. (Over 60 years now)

Boo! Terrible thread. I started thinking about TV theme songs and one that I thought of was the opening for Have Gun Will Travel. Not my fave by far but as I started running the lyrics through my head I found that I could not get them out. It's been 3 days now and it's driving me nuts.

Here it is and I hope it infests the thread starter!

Classic!

Ive always loved the Rockford Files theme. Whoever suggested Peacemaker offers a new option - it is impossible not to watch it every single time.

Another classic

Always thought that the entire soundtrack for Game Of Thrones was impressive.
The composer of the main theme sat down with a bunch of guitar guys playing custom-themed Fender guitars for a jam.
It takes a couple minutes before they settle in.

“A bunch of guitar guys!” That might be a little underwhelming intro. Tom Morello, who was in Rage Against the Machine and Nightwatchman, but might be more well-known for touring with Bruce Springsteen on a recent tour. Scott Ian, who’s best work was when Anthrax starred in an episode of married with children. Bettencourt of Extreme, and country legend Brad Paisley.

I am familiar with all of the players, I just hesitate to oversell or hype.
Cool links, thanks, I hadn't seen those.

A rather late entry, but I was just reminded of it watching The History of Black Sitcoms (on CNN). Great voice.

Not sure but that is another great choice to add.
