    I prefer the original Magnum PI opening.

    I had Cheers narrowly edging The A-Team.

    I always liked the X-Files theme as well.

    The best theme was Gilligan's island, as it concisely explained the show's setup.

    Hard to imagine it didn't make this list.

    When I saw all the choices, I thought this was a PhilaYank poll. Despite my love for Friends and 'KRP, I had to go with Cheers.

    No Dukes of Hazzard?

    This is an impossible poll to try and create.

    Hawaii Five-0 in the instrumental division
    Cheers in the song division

    Why hasn't anyone decided to rip-off Hawaii Five-0 for a big screen adaptation. That movie could seriously kick ass. If it was an R-rated cuss fest.

    None of the above. The theme for Peter Gunn reigns supreme for dramas, and Leave it to Beaver for comedies.

    Not to thread-jack, but cast that puppy. Some maybes:

    McGarrett-Jake Gyllenhall.
    Dan-O-Mark Wahlberg
    Chin Ho-Don't know. Too bad Jack Soo is dead.
    Kono-Jackie Chan.

    Gotta have Wo Fat in there as the bad guy. Who plays him?
