Lalo Schifrin theme song for "Mannix". You only get to choose ONE favorite.

Slightly different arrangments over the course Mannix run on TV.

the Maude theme song with Bea Arthur sung by Donny Hathaway
Sanford & Son - classic Quincy Jones
Family Ties - that duet with Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams (?)
Good Times - Just classic
The Jeffersons - another classic

I can't pick one either...

Cheers was a good one for evoking that nice-cosy-among-friends type feeling.
The Cosby Show in all it's incarnations gives me the warm fuzzy feeling too. Although it is kind of "harsh" in your face jazzy (bit like The Simpsons)

Currently The Big Bang Theory (Barenaked Ladies) is one of my faves.

Grange Hill and Screen Test (UK children's TV themes) are cool and remind me of childhood in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The Equaliser and Airwolf were good electronic mid to late 1980s ones.

Angel is a classic (just pips Buffy for me)

The Barney Miller theme and the Taxi theme.

The Jeffersons, All in the Family, The facts of Life, Married With Children and Taxi too, although I was not a fan of the show. LOL

And The Jeffersons'.

This time i'll choose Harry Lubin's opening and closing themes for the 60s Sci-Fi series...







...One Step Beyond ("Fear" & "Weird")



The Perry Mason theme is my usual pick when this subject comes up.

Hill Street Blues



The Greatest American Hero



The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Moonlighting theme by Al Jarreau

Lots of great themes here, most of which I think surpass the idealism of their shows.

For example, “Mary Tyler Moore” was a very good sitcom, but it still seldom reached that special place locked inside its song and spinning hat visuals of utter joy and independence.

I've got a few, some of which haven't been mentioned here:

The ORIGINAL intro to Baywatch (season 1) - Save Me by Peter Cetera:


The more famous Baywatch intro:


The intro to the classic cop sitcom Sledge Hammer:


And one I remember from when I was a kid...
Ducktales..... with Icelandic lyrics!

Most of my favs have been named already but y'all missed one...
