What are your favorite T.V. theme songs?

I've seen episodes of The Tonight Show with both Allen and Paar, and although both had their qualities, Carson was iconic in his demeanor, afaic. He was The Tonight Show.

Dick Dastardly & Muttley

Muttley, you snickering floppy-eared hound
When courage is needed, you're never around
Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest
Should be there for bungling at which you are best

(Chorus)
So stop the Pigeon! Stop the Pigeon!
Stop the Pigeon! Stop the Pigeon!
Stop the Pigeon! Stop the Pigeon!
Stop the Pigeon Now!
Nab him! Jab him!
Tab him! Grab him!
Stop that Pigeon Now!

You Zilly, stop sneaking, it's not worth a chance
For you'll be returned by the seat of your pants
And Klunk, you invent me a thingamabob
That catches the Pigeon or I'll lose my job

(Chorus)
So stop the Pigeon! Stop the Pigeon!
Stop the Pigeon! Stop the Pigeon!
Stop the Pigeon! Stop the Pigeon!
Stop the Pigeon Now!
Nab him! Jab him!
Tab him! Grab him!
Stop that Pigeon Now!

I remember watching this as a kid. When there were only 3 TV channels, and kids TV ended at midday during school holidays.............

A great way to put the kibosh on a Partridge Family Theme sing-a-long is to use the song's original lyrics:

My favorite TV theme songs are: The Rockford Files, Sesame Street, The Love Boat, The Dukes of Hazzard, What's Happening, The X-Files, The Brady Bunch and The A-Team.

This is what they want!! Woo hoo!

My daughter and I like to burst into the Dick Van Dyke show theme song at random times. That is one catchy tune.
