well, most tv show theme songs arent really meant to stand alone.. more sort of a back ground tune

with that in mind:

1) Miami Vice
2) Friends
3) Greatest American Hero

I wrote a blog about this in the Spring...

Top 10 TV Show Themes

I ended up leaving off The Rockford Files because I couldn't find a good Youtube clip of it...but it'd be on there.

Dukes of Hazzard - far and away #1. It's Waylon, what more needs to be said?

Happy Days really had two - they started out using Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock and then later had the Happy Days theme.

Crime Story's themesong was good, a bastardization of Del Shannon's Runaway.

The theme from Bonanza has to be up there as well.

Two of James Garner's series had great theme music:

Rockford Files
Bret Maverick (the 80s series, not the earlier Maverick series).
