The theme to Fraggle Rock is definately up there on my list.

Also, a great theme that I would turn up the tv volume everytime it came on, was X-Men the cartoon. Awesome song.

"The Screen Savers" theme song BEFORE TechTV merged with G4 and BEFORE they ditched the basement set. It was just too nerdy and too great. So was Inspector Gadget's. And then there's JEOPARDY's ORIGINAL theme song.

OMG, I can't believe that someone actually remembers this show.
That is so awesome!!! Everyone I ask about this show does not remember it.
They always think I am referring to "Tales from the Crypt"

PLease tell me that you are not accidentaly reffering to Tales from the Crypt......:(

"Man lives in the sunlit world
of what he believes to be reality.
But, there is, unseen by most, an underworld,
a place that is just as real,
but not as brightly lit...
A DARKSIDE." - Tales from the Darkside (http://cs-people.bu.edu/shoffman/tfds/tfds.html)

The Twilight Zone (not the ones released in 2000), Amazing Stories, Night Gallery, Ray Bradbury Theater, The Outer Limits, Cliffhangers... even Tales from the Crypt... TV used to be so much fun...

waiting for us to enter,

So until next time,
try to enjoy the daylight" -TftD

I'm always joking when I say it, but I always tell people that no TV theme can physically top "Happy Happy Joy Joy". That being said, my top theme songs:

Firefly-Ballad of Serenity (I don't care, I'm still free; you can't take the sky from me...)
Angel (a very well done piece combining modern music elements to a pair of violas)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Highlander (Princes of the Universe)
Beretta
Enterprise-Faith of the Heart (although the latest season butchered the song)
Charmed-How Soon is Now (redone from an old 80's song)
Rugrats (simple xylophones)
All Grown Up (I'm kinda forced to add that one, considering the previous)
Friends-I'll Be There For You (I've always liked that song)
Babylon 5
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (before they tried jazzing it up season 4)
Roar (gotta love the medieval music of the British Isles)
Survivor (yeah, I sing this one every time it comes up)
The Mole (simple detective music)
The Amazing race (while I'm on the subject of reality games)
American Casino (the modified "Viva Las Vegas")

That's off the top of my head. I'll add more if I think of them. :)

Cowboy Bebop's Tank by the Seatbelts.

I'll second that. Great jazzy intro.

Anyone remember that show Roundhouse? That had a great intro song.
