Dallas. That's an earworm if ever there was one. Go on, you can all see JR now I've just mentioned it!

And Suicide is Painless, of course.

Great is great because the theme tune should instantly conjure up the programme, not because it's necessarily a great tune.

EDIT: Vimeo doesn't embed anymore? Longer version of Flight of the Conchords theme, anyway

Dallas was pretty iconic yep.

How about CHiPs?

Following up on MSP’s modern series suggestions, always liked Bad Things from True Blood.

Screentest was mad, in retrospect!

Just went back to check it. Sounds like the band of the Coldstream Guards but after a massive night on acid and amphetamines.

Gotta be impressed by someone who's only contribution to a thread is so utterly pathetic.

You throw up a piece of music claiming it's one thing, and I didn't think it was, simples. No need for the histrionics, love

If your ego is that fragile, I'd step away from the internet if I were you. 😆

Lordy man, take a step back, you'll give yourself an aneurysm

edit, oh noes, wait, I've dared to criticise your music taste, haven't I? I forgot weren't not allowed to. 😆

Back when it was the trend for bands to come on stage to dramatic theme music, like the Dambusters etc. my band had The Magic Roundabout theme from that album 😀

I also love the Taxi theme tune.

Here's a dub version of the Ronnie Hazlehurst classic 'Sorry', which works surprisingly well:

And epic original:

Soooo much better than the actual show!!! 🙂

Aww, that's made my day that has.

Which leads us to this underrated little gem...

Fun fact - we regularly used to see Reg Varney doing his shopping in big Tesco when I was a kid.

Not sure if this was shown in the UK, but Pufnstuf is very appropriate title- Jack Wild went from Oliver to this...
HR Pufnstuf.
Yes it was, about 1970 I think, but you had to be out of your brain on acid to have a clue what was going on.

Page one my friend, but thanks for the YouTube link

Ripped from the vinyl and uploaded: King of the Ghetto.
The BBC will probably take it down even though it's not available anywhere else cos they're arseholes like that.

I'm sure this was actually the theme though. But was 1986, and my memory ain't that good.
