The 40 Best TV Theme Songs of All Time

28. The A-Team - Mike Post
Another Mike Post composition, this theme song gets added bonus for the number of explosions it includes.



27. Barney Miller - Jack Elliott
An example of a show who's theme music might have actually had a more lasting impact than the show itself. Those bass lines are right up there with...



26. Night Court - Jack Elliott
I didn't know this before now, but of course the same composer responsible for Barney Miller's bass lines also wrote Night Court. Kudos to 30 Rock for reviving the show's memory recently, even if it undid years of burying the anxiety caused by NC's unresolved ending—and even though they didn't bring back Richard Moll (Bull).



25. Laverne & Shirley - "Making Our Dreams Come True" by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox
The show was a spin-off of Happy Days, and the theme was composed by the same team of Gimbel and Fox. For the record, it's "Schlemiel ("a habitual bungler"), schlemazel ("an extremely unlucky or inept person"), Hasenfeffer ("rabbit stew") Incorporated," and that's one-hit wonder Cyndi Grecco singing.
