Top 5 all time favourite tv themes


Recommended Posts

Me and Mrs Jimbo were watching some old episodes of Silent Witness recently and the subject of the theme music came up in conversation. Got me thinking about what my favourite tv themes were. A number were close to my top 5. Notable mentions to Ski Sunday, Black Beauty, MASH, Minder and Auf Wiedersehn Pet, but my top 5 are as follows:

5. Robinson Crusoe

4. Hill Street Blues

3. Cheers

2. Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads

1. The Rockford Files

What are yours πŸ˜ŠπŸ“ΊπŸŽΆ

Ridiculous. You haven't included Jimbo and the Jetset with that username?!

On the topic of the Sweeney, I always preferred the closing credits version of the theme.

That's a really great selection. Just need to add The Littlest Hobo and it will be perfect.

Littlest Hobo would be my first choice. Also Minder, Knight Rider, Twin Peaks, Peaky Blinders and Stranger Things. I watched the first series of ST in the middle of the night when I had insomnia and it still sends a chill down my spine.
