Miami Vice is one of my all time favorite TV shows.
Now here in The United States there was a short lived show on NBC on Friday Nights that would follow Miami Vice called Crime Story it starred Dennis Farina as a Chicago Cop in the 60's.Well anyway the show had the coolest opening theme song ever it was version of Del Shannon's(R.I.P.) 60's song Runaway that had not been heard before and it was made especially for the show.

Some of the westerns I used to watch had memorable theme songs...such as:

YouTube - Bonanza Theme Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjdRgBAY278)

YouTube - The Wild Wild West (Theme Song) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lytn9-dG4B4)

[runrundingoboy]

OK, so many of my favorites have already been mentioned & linked. Bringing back memories. FYI, I still have a 45rpm vinyl single of Joey Scarbury's "Theme From The Greatest American Hero." I remember buying it at an Albertson's supermarket. I think it was the first 45 I ever purchased with my own money.

I'll throw these into the mix...

"Stark Raving Mad" was a brilliant comedy starring Tony Shalhoub & Neil Patrick Harris that only survived for a season or two. Sad. You can find some of the episodes on Youtube. Worth a watch, IMHO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8efZXvPR7A

And I don't think anyone has yet posted the M*A*S*H theme. I could not find a decent upload of the actual opening credits, but this one at least has clear audio of the theme song. Fans will of course remember that the original feature film's theme had lyrics, but I prefer the TV theme.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtn9kNfzra0&feature=related

And the aforementioned Movie theme... ironically using footage from the TV show...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHg8-3wr2KU&feature=related

And how about "Family Ties?"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WHIRFqWx8I

I watched too many sitcoms in the 80's... "Charles in Charge."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km22zWPz4uY&feature=related

I was too old for this one, but my younger siblings watched it incessantly, and the tune used to get stuck in my head. "The Great Space Coaster."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dddm5bQeKvg

"Fat Albert" was more my style...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btb_pAoTkfM&feature=related

And "Hong Kong Phooey" was a fave.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7Ic-WAlyhA

"The Banana Splits" is sure to bring back memories for a few people...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_IQYZHV7D8

I'd better stop before this post gets to be 30 miles long...
