[Closed] Now That's What I Call The Best STW TV Theme Tunes Album in the World EVER!!!

Star Fleet - Brian May rock manga puppet madness

'Supergraaaannnnnn'

/children's scottish accent.

*flicks fingers around near ears ending with them perked up pointing upwards with eyebrows raised*

I don't think I can include these as they were songs before the TV shows, but The Wire - Tom Waits "Way Down in the Hole" and Misfits - The Rapture "Echoes" have to rank with the best 🙂

and this

and of course this one -

This is making me feel very old...

+1 for Thunderbirds

Topical for this time of year, Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony was used for CBBC's "The Box of Delights" Christmas series. Properly magical.

I'll have to rip this off the vinyl later, I think it's the only theme tune music I've ever bought
Dave Kelly "Lonesome Man Blues" from this

Starred Tim Roth, superb TV series

Bewitched

Remember my Mum buying this on 7"
Monkey Magic

Always enjoyed the Johnny Test theme when my kid used to watch it

There's a definite pattern to the age of all these themes.

Last one from me for now!
6 Feet Under

So approximately all of the theme tunes before about 1985 😀

*edit - except DezB's!

Here's the daddy

Not wishing to spoil the theme:

1. Thunderbirds
2. Hair Bear Bunch
3. Hammer House of Horror
4. Knightrider
5. Hawaii 5-0
6. Take Three Girls ('Lighflight' theme by Pentangle)
7. Black Beauty
8. Magnum PI
9. Dallas
10. M*A*S*H
11. Bewitched
12. The Addams Family
13. The Munsters
14. Stingray
15. Scooby Doo

(No particular order) but special mention goes to the 'The Six Million Dollar Man', without which we would never as kids have made that 'neh-eh-eh-eh!' noise whilst running around in painfully-exagerrated slow motion. Forever.

should be in there

...and some years later, watching with the kids:

"You've got to fight for what you want, and all that you believe...!"

t's fabbo

it's really not

Flashing Blade! Excellent.

Was just thinking a few things.

1. Why if he is 'stronger and faster' did the Six Million Dollar man slow down to half speed whenever trouble arose?

2. Imagine [s]listening[/s] being made to listen to a whole album of 'Best TV Theme Tunes Ever' 😯

A couple of more modern ones.

Starsky And Hutch zjooshed up by JTQ:

Red Hand Gang:

Can’t believe 3 pages and no one has said doctor who

Gotta be impressed by someone who's only contribution to a thread is so utterly pathetic.
For you and your mentality 😛

Clearly the winner is Dr Who......

Point of order - Ski Sunday is a grey area because it's basically Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor transposed to a major key and sjushed up a bit with the drum rolls and so on.

About 3 mins 10 on here

A couple of more modern ones

Screentest was mad, in retrospect! I wonder who the drummer was?

I’d like to nominate Shoestring:

How could I forget Twin Peaks? Best show AND best theme ever.

Is it just me that gets a bit wobbly listening to the Mr Men theme then?
😳

DJ (Mixmaster Morris, I think) played it at about 7am at one of the first raves I went to back in the early 90s, ending a set of cosmic ambience. Powerful stuff.

Three pages and no...

KungFu and Grizzly Adams would appear to belong.

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. 😆

And some more pathetic. Well done.

Gosh, you really are try-hard aren't 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. 😆

Barney Miller...

Very, very funky.

Still have the War Themes Album, my dad bought it from Woolies on Cheetham Hill road.
