Best TV Theme Songs

My picks are the songs for these shows (in no particular order):

The Price Is Right
Newheart (the one from the 80's)
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Perry Mason
Mr. Ed
Sesame Street(the original version)
The Jeffersons
Welcome Back, Kotter
The Simpsons
The People's Court
The Twilight Zone (not so much a song as a musical interlude, but still classic)

cool

I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back.

Ah! How could I forget those classics? A few more:
The Tonight Show (with Johnny Carson)
Night Court
The Wonder Years
All My Children (both the original theme and the upbeat piano theme)
General Hospital (theme from the 80's)

BTW, does anyone here remember a show called "Dear John?" I know I saw it years ago in syndication, and while I can't tell you what it was about, I still remeber the theme song.
"Dear, John...Dear, John...By the time you read these lines, I'll be gone..."
