Sorry, I'm tipsy now and started nostalgia'ing over all the ones I could find that I liked. Some though were bad.

Monk....my son and I sing along to it whenever it comes on. This ritual began when he was five and the series debuted.

My favorite TV opening theme ever has to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7w-1L8nJA

 :metal :metal

If only the show it was the opening for wasn't terrible  :sadpanda:


And, not an opening, but imo the best song ever used as an opening or ending theme of a show is the ending theme of Bakemonogatari, Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari. Not that it's the best musically, but it works the best for the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba6LXH0xDoM

I could really go on all day about awesome anime theme songs, but noone would care  :lol

That Game of Thrones one was pretty boring musically to be honest.

Heavy version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC-ZmlwBWKM

Great version of this epic show.

Sorry kids, but I'm sure the old fogey's will back me up, the 80s can't be beat:

Magnum PI
Knight Rider
Love Boat
Cheers
Simon & Simon
Miami Vice
Dynasty
Hart to Hart
Hill Street Blues
Airwolf

But my personal fav ...
The A-Team

Indeed.  All badass.  Magnum PI was especially awesome.  My picks:

The Greatest American Hero:

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

My favorite is the Battlestar Galactica intro, followed by the Battlestar Galactica title theme.

Misfits of Science! Nice!

You can really tell the age differences in all of us by what is being posted.

How about "Rockford Files"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C8EUrtEhfM&feature=related

"SWAT"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Iwp1d7eKbA

Doubt anyone remembers this one.... "Renegades"

You're the only person I know who has acknowledged the existence of this show.  It wasn't on for very long, but it was damned cool.
