Someone beat me to The Street Beater (Sanford and Son, thank you Quincy) so I'll bless you with this banger from a Portland-based sitcom nobody remembers by Tom Smith and John LaSalle
Oh man, the Airwolf intro theme is killer, loved that show.
Sad story about the helicopter that was dressed up to play Airwolf: it was a Bell 222 that was later sold to a company in Germany which used it for air ambulance services, and was lost in a crash along with all aboard.
On a happier note, the Screaming Mimi helicopter from the show Riptide is alive, in great shape, and serving as a firefighter in CA, still has the Screaming Mimi name painted under the cockpit window.
I have liked quite a few TV themes over the years...nothing current comes to mind 
.
This is always the first one I think of
Here's another
Favorite Trek theme
A few years back I watched the run of BSG several times and really started loving the background music which is laced with leitmotifs that evolve over the course of the show. This is my favorite track, especially the opening section through about 2:06. This section feels like it should continue into a full epic symphonic composition...and I am somewhat saddened that it doesn't
Here is how the passage used in the opening sequence of episode Daybreak Part 1., which essentially marks the beginning of the end of the series and shows you what "paradise" and the lives of some of the main characters looked like before the fall.
You probably won't get it if you're not a BSG fan. But when I see the galaxy on the TV and hear the passage begin, the first thing thought that pops into my mind is, "No, I am not ready for it to end again."

It only ran for one season. Space 1999 grew out of what would have been UFO's second season (or something like that).
Oh man, there’s so many good ones.
Thanks for starting this thread, pcake. Suddenly a lot of good memories of basically wasted time are coming back, lol. But still, good memories

One more, then I’ll leave some for others to post, lol
FYI - the composer of, and fretless bassist on, this theme is TalkBass member - @Decomposer...aka David Schwartz.
Not only was the theme wild, it was wild sci-if show itself. I’ve probably binge watch all 4 seasons and the wrap up move once a year.
this song is on replay in my head 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
and much of the iconic buildings are still standing.
Thats the Illikai hotel and I've been there many times. I've not been in that suite but I've been close.
Two facts:
1. the Hawaii 5-0 theme is the main song for the Univ. of Hawaii football team
2. Jack Lord has a life like bust at the Kahala Mall near Macy's.
