Cheers or Greatest American Hero are my favorite TV themes of all time.
As for those that stick in your head and you can't get them out with a hammer, Green Acres has to top that list. :eek:

I've always liked the theme to Petticoat Junction.

I've always HATED the theme to Charles In Charge. (Even though that wasn't the question, I had to say it!):p

Oh, I had to edit this. I forgot I also love the theme song for All In The Family. I never get sick of those two! :D

My favorites were Facts Of Life, Growing Pains, Golden Girls, China Beach, Designing Women,Full House, Charles In Charge, and Just The Ten of us. I remember how much I annoyed my mom when I would walk around the house singing
"You take the good you take the bad you take them both and there you have the Facts Of Life" or when I would start singing"Thank you for being a friend, travel down a road and back again, your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidante" . The one that I sang the most though was the theme to Family Ties. I loved that show so much!

"I bet we've been together for a million years
and I bet we'll be together for a million more
oh it's like I started breathing on the night we kissed
and I can't remember what I ever did before
what would we do baby, without us
what would we do baby, without us
and there ain't no nothin' we can't love each other through
what would we do baby, without us
sha-la-la-la...."
