Gilligan's Island.

It was part of the initiation test for the recon team I was on. It was our official team theme-song. Of course, we were the only team with a theme-song.

Sounds like some rockin' Harpsichord going on here.
Randell and Hopkirk(This is very reminiscent of The Ippcres file
The Persuaders
Man in a Suitcase
The Protectors(Closing theme)
60s-70s British action TV at its best!
You could also count the Gerry Anderson puppet series
Thunderbirds
Captain Scarlet
Stingray.
Sorry but Fireball XL5 just sounds too wimpy for an action tune.
Of course we could not leave the USA out of this,
Mission Impossible
Hawaii 5-0
Get Smart
And Finally in my top 12
The Munsters

Ahh, but which version? Season 1, or Season 2?
Season 1, actually I have not heard the season 2 theme, or rather, not noticed it. I think they only play season 1 over here so I am more familiar with that theme.. Season 2 sounds a bit too surfy to me.
My dad would not let me watch this as a kid as he thought it was stupid!
My favourite episode from the re runs has to be Hot Rod Herman(Season 1 or 2)

In my experience most people who like the Munsters' theme song tend to remember the version they like but don't recall there being two different versions, so you're not alone. Although I like both versions, I tend to favor the Season 2 version because a) it's far more energetic, and b) I like surf guitar. :D
