THE 100 GREATEST TV THEME SONGS

A list compiled by the weirdos at retroCRUSH:

I'm a super TV theme song junkie and have always appreciated a good tune to set the mood of the show. Over the next few weeks we'll be paying tribute to The 100 Greatest TV Theme Songs. We've used over 2 years of reader feedback, and expert research to come up with a list that you're sure to love with many of your favorites guaranteed to be included. So keep coming back each day for more as we count 'em down to #1! You'll learn about the people behind the songs, and we'll be spreading the retro love and linking up a lot of cool sites that love these songs and shows as much as we do!

And here are some of the highlights thus far (as of this writing they've only counted down to number 78):

#99 CBS SPECIAL THEME

#94 THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN

#90 UNDERDOG

#87 HONG KONG PHOOEY

#82 SQUARE PEGS

#80 DARK SHADOWS

#78 THREE'S COMPANY

I have to mention that my personal favorite of the list thus far is the CBS Special theme, often played before Peanuts and other holiday shows in the early 70s. Here's a direct link to streaming audio of the coolest six second song I've ever heard.
