Favorite TV theme show songs?

Well, I found this website http://www.melaman2.com/tvshows/index.html today and have been enjoying some old TV theme show songs. Some bring back fond memories of shows I love and adore, such as Quantum Leap and Wings (a show I am enjoying again on Nick at Nite!!).

What TV theme show songs do you like? Some of my faves:

The Monkees (Hey hey, we're the Monkees!!)

I love TV theme songs. In fact, when I was a kid, I used to sit by the TV with my little portable tape-recorder, and I'd tape the themes to my favorite shows.

Of course, this was an extremely low-tech approach, and invariably my dog would bark right in the middle of the song! :laugh:

Gimme A Break
The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
