Has to be The X Files - it's absolutely iconic! :greengrin
I was thinking bit more leftfied than that. :greengrin Sometimes the show is terrible, but the theme tune is great. My example above is both a great show and a great theme tune. A bit like the A Team :greengrinQuote:

Some great suggestions but none that get near the bar set by Dangermouse.
Rhubarb and Custard beats the crap out of Dangermouse. Sorry Pete.Quote:

Always liked the Dexter and Band of Brothers theme tunes. The X-Files one is a good shout too. :tee hee:
Ski Sunday - impossible to whistle!
Agree with danhibees, the Cheers theme song is right up there.
For the oldies, I'll go with Bonanza.
The Banana Splits.
Why don't you:singing:
The winner, the most naturally intuitive piece of music I can think of. Even if you've never heard it before, once you've heard a few bars you know what's coming next.Quote:

Quite old now but ‘To The Unknown Man’, by Vangelis used by BBC for it’s ‘Snooker’ theme tune many moons ago. I mentioned this one on the other thread about the most beautiful tracks.

Match of the Day and the BBC cricket theme tune.
Hill Street Blues.
I'd agree with Van der Valk & Cheers.
Honourable mention for Hill Street Blues though.

Is that 'Taxi' for the previous poster or a vote for the 'Taxi' theme tune? :stirrer:Quote:

Was two tribes the American football theme tune or just used during the show?

Tinker Tailor had a good theme. Atmospheric.
I liked the Cheers song. It was a great show back in the day.
Good shout on all three but The Sweeney deserves special plaudits because they took the same tune and made it upbeat for the opening theme and then all melancholic for the closing theme.Quote:

They used FGTH "Two Tribes" at some point and also used thisQuote:

Both are much better if you listen to the whole thing.

I’ve been rewatching Game On over the last couple of weeks - still very funny and not really dated.Quote:
