Your Fav TV show openings ?

[Action Burt]

Most have already been mentioned, but these are mine....

Starsky and Hutch
A Team
Magnum PI

And of course the Rockford Files

YouTube - The Rockford Files


Talking of Rockford does anyone know if any of the special episodes made in the late 90s are available ?

Hard to pick a favourite.....up until the mid eighties or so, just about every show had a great opening. Yet another feature modern television shows just dont have.

[The Bat]

I always loved the "Get Smart" opening!!

This one goes way back and although not really much of opening you always ended up singing along. Anyone remember ZOOM on PBS? I always wanted to be one of the Zoom kids, especially after the rollcall segment (yeah I know, my expectations weren't very high when I was kid ). That Bernadette chick and the freaky thing she did with her arms - was always a topic of debate.

Thunderbirds, Spider-Man (60s) and Doctor Who have always been favourites of mine.

For Classic TV, it would have to be Rockford Files or S.W.A.T.

"Space The Final Frontier.........." Nuff said.

agreed

Classic shows: The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Odd Couple, The Munsters, Get Smart, Sanford and Son, Chico and The Man, Batman, In Search Of... what a great themes these shows had!!!! Some of these really rocked!

Not exactly classic: Ally McBeal, Scrubs, Sledge Hammer!, Riptide, GAH, Max Headroom, House, Charmed. There was a British show called Star Cops which had a Justin Hayward, ( of the Moody Blues), song. I liked it a lot tho it is regarded as saccharine as the power ballad from Enterprise. I can't seem to get The 6 Million Dollar Man and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century off my mind.

I really like what they did with the new episodes of Doctor Who. There's this additional, ominous, string section in the new theme which sends a chill down my spine like, yeah, it's DW but it's gonna be scary!
