Hey

Are there any TV themes you like? I know that Sandford & Son is especially liked for bass players, but any else?

I like:
Yes Minister
Laverne & Shirley
Tales of the City

You say?

I love the theme for The Walking Dead also the theme for The Dead Zone TV show, it was actually a Jeff Buckley tune.

I like the Who's rendition of the Batman theme. Heavy.

The Wire theme song was awesome in season 1 when Steve Earle did it... subsequent seasons had a different rendition that did not hold up.

Danger Cat reminded me of ...
"Bat Fink"




WB, stuff is always good...
"Overture, dim the lights
This is it, the night of nights.
No more rehearsing and hearsing our parts,
We know every part by heart..."

"...Road Runner, the coyote's after you.
Road Runner, if he catches you you're through.
Road Runner, the coyote's after you.
Road Runner, if he catches you you're through..."

Animaniacs! Not only was the theme cool but every single musical piece they did was GREAT!

 

[Mockyngbyrd]

Barney Miller

 

[KevInDaBassment]

Does The Price is Right count for a show? That had a pretty jazzy theme song

 

[SirMjac28]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Nerf Herder

 

[dalkowski]

"Straight Up and Down," by Brian Jonestown Massacre -- opening theme for "Boardwalk Empire."
"In the Street," orig. by Big Star, but covered by Todd Griffin and Cheap Trick for "That 70s Show."
JP Sousa's "Liberty Bell March," for "Monty Python's Flying Circus."

Diff'rent Strokes had a good theme song (written mainly by Allan Thicke - Robin's father).

I always thought the Knight Rider theme was cool. Also, pretty much anything Mike Post worked on.
