That 70's Show would be up there for mine.
Get Smart is a classic.

The main one that I'd get stuck in my head at the moment is Spicks and Specks theme song. Spicks and Specks performed by The Dissociatives.

Laverne & Shirley
Good Times

That's all I can think of for now. Oh and M*A*S*H.

My favourite TV theme music comes from my (equal) favourite TV show of all time: The Professionals. Which is being played on UKTV atm....

 

[blangerang]

Captain Planet>>>Every single one of them




I always laughed as a kid when the kid says dic

 

[G.O.B]

Charles in Charge was pretty damn catchy when I was young.
The Last American Hero especially since I was reminded of it from a Seinfeld episode.
Mind you, both shows mentioned were putrid.

The Monkey Magic tune was pretty cool back in the day also.

 

[raskolnikov]

Banana Splits

 

[stanga]

Danger Mouse
Transformers
The Young Ones
The Goodies

 

[Cleavy]

Speed Racer
Inspector Gadget

 

[sandeano]

Barney Miller


As for Are You Being Served? I am surprised that no-one has yet sampled that for a hip-hop sort of thing. Ideal source material. Then again maybe someone has, I'm hardly up to date on such matters.

Since the birth of our baby a little while back I have rarely drifted out on a Saturday night. My missus goes to bed early and leaves me to contentedly open a bottle of wine and enjoy Professionals, Sweeney, Minder and finally Benny Hill on UKTV.

It makes for a ripper of a night (considering the circumstances!)

 

[Port_GW]

Hill Street Blues

 

[sandeano]

Oh, I neglected to mention Soap and Benson as two other faves.

 

[scout]

Hawaii Five-0

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Growing Pains:

"Show me that smile again, dont waste another minute on your crying..."

 

[navier-stokes equation]

Not a theme song but intro music

FBI Files
On The Couch

 

[legitimatic]

Captain Planet

 

[bunsen burner]

Welcome Back Kotter
