You probably have but haven't been able to make the connection.

The same piece of music was used as the theme for a Finnish comedy show (Studio Julmahuvi), but I didn't find out until years after its last rerun that the theme was from another show altogether. I would imagine it being used in commercials, other shows and whatnot, making it one of those songs you know by heart but can't name. Scott Joplin's The Entertainer was one for me, for example.

The Inspector Morse theme is amazing (in a melancholy kinda way). It evokes Morse's character perfectly.

I hope we're not confusing best shows and best themes.

On themes, the song for the Japanese show Ultraman was cool...

if anything i could say this cab is rare,
so I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo homes, to Bel Air!"

"I pulled up to the house around 7 or 8er
and I yelled to the cabbie, yo hommes, smell ya later,
I looked at my kingdom I was finally there,
ready to sit on my throne, as the prince of bel air."

From my early childhood I vividly recall the anticipation and fear that the opening bars of the B.B.C. Radiophonic Workshop's tune for 'Dr. Who' would produce. The people in that outfit were geniuses at manipulating sound.

I also loved 'The Prisoner' and 'The Avengers', and the soundtrack to a series about a down at heel British private eye called 'Public Eye'. The Roger Moore 'The Saint' was great too.

'U.F.O.' and 'Captain Scarlet' both had memorable theme tunes too (Siouxsie and the Banshees covered the latter on their demo tape) but 'Stingray' and 'Fireball XL5' were even better. As a passing nod to Laz's mention of 'Black Beauty' (banned in apartheid South Africa) I'll mention 'Follyfoot' .

Of American shows I grooved to 'Hawaii 5-0', 'Hill Street Blues' and the 'X-Files', but the composer for the soundtracks of 'Boston Public' and 'Six Feet Under' lnows his beans too.

'The Addams Family' was a delight, as were less well known British ones such as 'The Children of the Stones' 'Time Slip' and the Tomorrow People' .
