I loved Hogan's Heroes theme as a kid.  Made me want to line up in the cold.

I'm going with either The Muppets or Dr. Who (we used that as an opening tape for one band)

Dr Who was theme was great and there was some wonderful background music and sound effects in the vintage series. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop did some ground-breaking stuff with tin cans and string, and the odd oscillator. Their equipment budget must have been about 10 pounds a year, but they were axed to save money.

I also love the Red Dwarf and Hitch Hikers Guide themes (though HHG was originally radio).

Two of my favorites themes! Red Dwarf isn't well known in the US, but it's one of my favorite series ever. Too bad the only time I read about Craig Charles is when he's in trouble.

A few years ago we saw Chris Barrie and Norman Lovett (Holly in series I) doing standup. Chris Barrie was ok, but Norman Lovett was hysterical, really incredibly funny. But I haven't seen anything of him since. Reminds me, I need to buy the box set of series 5-8, though I only really want 5 and 6.

7-8 had its shining moments too. Like when Lister fooled Kryten into celebrating the start of Kochanski's period. And besides, Norman Lovett returned for 7-8.

I haven't seen Norman Lovett outside of Red Dwarf but with that deadpan delivery I'll bet he's great.

When I read the title the first thing that popped up in my mind was the Munsters theme.

The Bannana splits I figured out on bass. That song will live with me to the grave!

I saw Loudon Wainwright live not long after the show started.  He introduced the song, his opener, as "I'd like to do a song about death.  After all, it IS Spring."
