The theme song from the australian series PRISONER is always my favorite.

"On the inside the suuuunn still shiiiiines"
I woke up sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert

With all these good old TV shows, why the hell does "TV Land" only play a handful several times a day? That's rediculous! They could play one episode per day and play a wide variety of shows.
