To me, a theme that would always be a recognisable classic is Alfred Hitchcock Presents. (Though I do agree with some of those mentionned above also).

And what about the Flinstones theme? Or the Adams Family? Or I Dream of Jeannie?

Are you too young to remember Gone With the Wind? Its soaring Tara Theme is still a standard of music literature.

I would think that Gilligan's Island would be up there along with the Beverly Hillbillies and the already mentioned Sanford & Son.

Hm. And I thought for sure that one of the TV theme's that would never die would be the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" as performed by Will Smith.

The lightsaber sound information is incorrect. I know this because, in my geeky childhood I was obsessed.

Put a cheap mike in the back of ANY cathode ray tube (it need not be broken) and move the microphone and you have the Lightsaber sound.

Right on, NicoNicoNico. The "Dr. Who" theme is the one that really never dies. Good list, though I would have replaced the "Friends" theme with "Dr. Who" myself. If I watch "Friends" at all, I mute the theme music.

Actually, the lyrics to the Star Trek theme are used -- sort of -- in the opening credits to the original series. If you listen carefully, that's what the howling voice is singing, or at least the vowels are. This is clearest at the end of the theme ("remember remember me").

Memorable TV themes are really quite numerous. It's not unusual for the themes to be much more memorable than the shows themselves. However, I've never been impressed with the "Friends" or "Simpsons" themes. Off the top of my head, ones that I think really stick out in pop culture are "Sanford And Son", "The Twilight Zone" and "Mission Impossible". Also, ISTR R2D2 had some synthesizer in his voice.

Hearing the Friends theme is like hearing nails on a chalkboard.

I may just sound like a fangirl, but I personally think that the Doctor Who theme is one that won't die. They've essentially used the same theme (minus a time in the 80's) since 1963. Really. Listen to an early clip first, then one from the 70's, and finally the one from the new ones. Little change. Years and years of having the theme pounded into your head kind of forces it to stick in your head forever.

(Little bit of trivia: it was the first television theme in the world that entirely consisted of electronic music.)

the r2d2 fact is pretty hilarious, so much for high tech synthesizers....fart noises are much better.
