This thread needs more Digimon.

That isn't the show's original opening theme. This is:

Yeah, well Mike Post's version shits all over that weaksauce.

 

[Ashy Larry]

Gargoyles!

 

[Kurtofan]

My personal top 3:

#3 TIE: Hawaii Five-0 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AepyGm9Me6w

TIE Night Court - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjiWblC_iG8

#2 Magnum P.I. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CquMO3vJvo

#1 The Rockford Files - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C8EUrtEhfM

We must have grown up in the same house or something.

Yeah, well Mike Post's version shits all over that weaksauce.

Well yes, the second version of the theme is infinitely better, but I figured most people probably didn't even know there was another version, so I posted it.

Ahh shit, I forgot to even think about cartoon theme songs. Oh well, an excuse for another list!

#3 Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e5q6ubDlZE

#2 Gummi Bears - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loUNoy0Qub0

#1 Talespin - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_cMaGt52QE

No surprise that all of these are Disney cartoons. Love their production values!

While i loved Talespin, the theme isn't nearly as good as those other two, both of which are permanently burned in to my brain to the point that I sometimes find myself randomly singing them.

Nowhere near as good as The Final Battle

[besada]

I can't believe no one's mentioned Welcome Back Kotter, whose theme song was an actual #1 hit.

Or even WKRP!

Nobody has said x-files yet?

 

[mYm|17|]

so many great shows/cartoons came out in the 80's and early 90's................sigh

 

[Jive Turkey]

Guess Greatest American Hero is before many of you were born. The fact that I haven't seen the show since I was five or six and I still knew the lyrics says something. I don't know what but it says something.

 

[jon bones]

NO ONE SAID THE WIRE SEASON FOUR

for shame.... as i walk through the garden

 

[bigGIRLSblouse]

How is it that people forgot The Sopranos?

This one for me. Was stuck in my head for months after first starting watching.

 

[Kurtofan]

Nobody has said x-files yet?

OMG you're right
what an awesome opening,a bit creepy though

 

[Solo]

No Miami Vice? Fuck you, GAF.

 

[Tapiozona]

Step by Step, naturally.

Problem I had with that shows intro was the very end of it where they showed the roller coaster on the coast. It's Colossus at 6 Flags Magic Mountain yet in the intro theres waves right up against it where there should be a parking lot..I'd be ok with it if it was done well but the water is sorta hovering above the ground and moving and every now and then you can see the parking lot below it.

Not to mention the beginning of the intro shows the same roller coaster and theres no water next to it

 

[T-Matt]

Where in the world is..
I also really like The Growing Pains theme and Doogie Howser.

 

[GitarooMan]

NO ONE SAID THE WIRE SEASON FOUR

for shame.... as i walk through the garden

I think that is the best version of the song.

Anyway, I have to second the Sopranos, perfect for that show.

How is it that people forgot The Sopranos?

One of the best theme songs to be sure. It's perfect for the show.

But no, I think Unit 13 is my favourite theme song. Though few will be familiar with it here.

Other favourites:
Alfred Jodocus Kwak
TinTin
Albert the 5th Musketeer

And for its extreme Americanness:
John Adams
