Secret Agent Man, by Johnny Rivers, later covered incomparably by the incomparable Devo.
Mission Impossible, by the legendary Lalo Schifrin.
Hawaii Five-O, later covered by The Ventures, and still later by Oz punk band Radio Birdman as Aloha Steve and Danno.
The Saint
and the top TV theme song of all time is….
No tellin’ what Mrs. Peel’s favorite is, now is there? :D
Mission Impossible (there's no contest)...
And this reply would be so much cooler if I could link to the theme from somewhere 
peter gunn. how can you forget peter gunn?
ooh, and cheers. the best comedy theme song.
also, the greatest american hero. i like it as a song, not just as a theme song.
secret asian man is a good one, as well. but i think mission impossible is probably the best of them all.
Rawhide is kinda cool, in a retro way.
Dr Who.. yup.. but the live version by Orbital was just about the best. Didnt translate well on LP though.
The Simpsons is a great theme, everybody knows what it is when they hear it. I love the Simpsons.
Don't forget the theme to the A-Team, fool!!!

Family Guy
Yeah, Family Guy has a mint tune
TWILIGHT ZONE*****Nothing comes close to it, many knock offs (XFiles included) but nothing comes close.
Dukes of Hazzard****Nothing like a fast AMERICAN cars, in chases and jumps (don't forget Daisy).
Sienfeld*****Every episode about nothing.
Star Trek (Original)*****All the others suck ass. Kirk was a man, kicked ass, and a total womanizer of all alien races (no politacally correct bs here).

which is the same reason we all loved james bond--until he became all 'almost monogamous.'
the jeffersons was pretty funky, as was sanford & son. one day at a time was another '70s classic TV tune.
ooh, and angel. beautiful theme song, that is.
Dr. Who Banana Splits Top Cat Bagpuss Joe 90 BBC Cricket Coverage (Soul Limbo, Booker T & the MGs)
remember Sportsnight.
used to stay up and look forward to Liverpools Euro highlights, and the theme music was spot on.
Crockette's Theme springs to mind.
As does the new title theme to the third series of Hustle. A classy show, so long as you don't mind a minefield of fabrications.
It's a pity that many of the great TV themes were never extended into worthwhile tracks for sale. I could probably think of many more.
Dr Who (Deliah Derbyshire BBCRW fully electronic version...other versions are Ok, but false)....then a gap of several hundred thousand mightines points to... the Prisoner (same guy and all....he also did tales of the unexpected and panorama)
Joe 90/thunderbirds/stingray,space 1999/UFO...ever tune Barry Gray did for Anderson/AFP
BBC F1 theme (The Chain)
Also rediscovered how good the Tomorrow people theme is.
Blake's 7
Old Top gear.
MAKING OUT (did anyone else mention that?)
Soundtrack music was always more my thing than pop, so I am sure to think of a few more....Oh...the krypton factor theme,....the Art of Noise one.
