Sesame Street closing credits
sanford and son’s theme is a segment from a quincy jones song called streetbeater. the full song has a great solo section
golden girls and i’ll fight you if you say different
I like Superjail (dont know if it was a song already or if it was made for the show)
A lot of ranma 1\2 songs are also really good
Zankoku na tenshi no you ni…
Arthur theme song kinda slaps.
Sometimes when I'm bored and just to fill the space I will start singing this. It's a great theme song.
I commented because I was thinking of the theme song for Doug and then I listened to this because I wanted to hear it again and I realized it's a completely different song.
It's still a great song, though. It's just not Doug.
Adding an obscure one: Judy Greer did a short-lived sitcom with Chris Parnell in the late 00s called Miss Guided. She played a high school guidance counselor. The theme song was played for all of about 2-3 seconds at the beginning of every episode, but that was enough for me to find the band. The song is Beautiful Possibility by The Lisa Parade.
Fairly Odd Parents might not be the best, but it is worth mentioning.
Definetely one of the most iconic for younger generations!
So many really good ones. I’ll add a couple I haven’t seen:
1970s Battlestar Galactica Buck Roger’s Original Brady Bunch (I hate it, but damn if it isn’t catchy) Happy Days You’re The Worst Coupling Better Things
Breaking Bad.
I don't like theme songs...
Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, hands down the best there ever was.
Edit: I take that back. Lupin The III Part 2, hands down the best there ever was.
I hadn't thought of this for probably 40 years and those neurons just woke up to remember the lyrics.
If the Theme from Hawaii Five O doesn’t get your heart pumping, you should call your doctor
Great theme song.
This is the kind of music that should play when you and the boys are out on the prowl.
For me:
Babylon Berlin intro captures the art, the deco, the decadence and the fear of what the viewer knows is going to come of that time period.
Black Sails just perfect
Raised by Wolves I was hit and miss on this in many ways, but this intro is great - albeit I think slightly misleading as to its overall tone.
Pennyworth I thought S1 was a bit silly, but what an intro.
Happiness This is just fun, and fits the show brilliantly
See also isn't bad
Romulus Very vikings-esque
Song of the Bandits The song on the YT video isn't great here imo, but they actually mix it up in the show proper and use different songs. And some really fit the theme.
The Muppet Show
Farscape
Reboot
One Piece (especially "We Are")
The Simpsons
Futurama
Animaniacs
I love Farscape...I've been a huge fan since discovering it in 2001. I've watched the show from start to PK War many many times and have introduced my wife and kids to it. They have subsequently watched the whole thing multiple times as well.
I skip the intro every single time. Sorry, but it just grates.
OK Go did an awesome update to the Muppets theme. The video is great, especially the end.
It's so good. It's actually even better without the Muppets talking, but obviously that's part of the video's charm.
Every now and again I find the Ulysses 31 intro playing in my head for no reason, and I'm ok with that.

Actual song starts ~40s in
Barney Miller
Also, the theme to Succession always got me hyped up. The part when it's showing the kids riding on the elephant, right after the bridge, the piano subtly changes from previous parts. So good.
