it been atleast 15 years since i saw tailspin, th junglebook ripoff cartoon series, but its theme song is now stuck in my head.

what tv songs have you found yourself singing or humming years later?

Ninja Turtles had the greatest theme song ever

Believe it or Not from The Greatest American Hero, Welcome Back from Welcome Back Cotter and of course the theme to transformers and G.I.Joe

believe it or not, george isn't at home. your askin yourself where could he be-e-e

seinfeld version

I second Seinfeld.

Also, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures, the Tick. There are a few others, but they don't come to mind right now.

And Night Court. The show is so dated it's not funny... pun intended... but the theme song still gets in my head. And I don't know why, but Mad About You. Dumb show, but the song is stuck in my head all the time.

i love night court. finally saw every episode.

still tryin to find perfect strangers.
"sometimes the world looks perfect,...."

Forgot Married with Children!

just recently completed that series too.
others include:
gilligans island
taxi
3s company
stap by step
family matters
fullhouse

and several 80s cartoons

other catchy themes: munsters and addams family

For some reason I can hum or whistle the entire theme of "The A-Team", "MacGyver" and "Dallas" to the note. "Knight Rider" also, but it's just a freaking baseline, so it's not a big deal.

Ducktales! Just saying it will get it stuck in your head for a week.

Who could forget the Price Is Right?

For me, it's the A-Team.

Thundercats!!

Short list of songs in recent memory:

Night Court
Cheers
M*A*S*H
CHiPs
Battlestar Galactia
most Star Trek themes
WITWICS
Chuck (in reality, CAKE's Short Skirt Long Jacket)
various Pokemon/Pocket Monster themes
Various Anime
Hill Street Blues
Moonlighting
Magnum PI
Hawaii 5-0
All CSI's
A-Team
Various L&O
Doctor Who
Top Gear (Allman Brothers, Jessica)
a bunch of others.

Those aren't TV themes, though.

Quantum Leap had a great instrumental theme, and the later eps used a punched-up version of it, sounded like a college marching band.

Knight Rider's up there too.

i forgot miami vice

and the interlude of beverly hills cop (i know not a tv theme, but i made the topic. if anyone has a right to veer slightly off topic its me )

Nevair!!! Okay, I'll give them to you.

I'm somewhat surprised no one's mentioned the 90's X-Men cartoon. It's rarely stuck in my head, but I can see how it can be stuck in someone else's. (As far as Marvel cartoons, the campy Spider-Man cartoon theme gets stuck in my head, but I imagine I'm not the only one.)

Damn you MG, and here is why.

In the mid 90's before the crash of the comic distribution networks leaving nothing but Diamond as the source for comic shops to order their stock from, Marvel choose to self distribute all their books.

The would use the X-men cartoon theme for their hold music. It was set to just loop.

I like the music, then one day to place a reorder I had to listen to that piece for 90 minutes. Between that day and the other times I had to call them the song was ruined for me. I still get it in my head and i can't stand it.

Reading your post put it back in my head.

Thanks, and damn you.

There was a cartoon in the mid 90's called Captain Red Beard. I loved that theme song, now I can't even find it on youtube

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills

Beetleborgs

Double Dragon

and no one has mentioned Denver the last dinosaur!

Oh Thank Primus it wasn't just me! About halfway through it kind of melded into the Ben10 Alien Force theme. I knew this was a bad thread for me to walk into but I had to give into temptation and check it out. I'd had the Knight Rider theme going through my head at odd times the last 3 days and could only chase it out with the themes from either Red Dwarf or Absolutely Fabulous. Then I stepped into THIS thread and I've had to put up with snippets of every damn title I read going through my brain. I'm five seconds away from firing up the Media Player and seeing if "The Clairvoyant" by Iron Maiden can help purge this train wreck from my consciousness.

Great thread by the way NV! Can't decide whether to applaud you or curse you but Great Thread!
