    Every time I hear that song, for some reason, I get sleepy and think it's time to go to bed.

    Outstanding. Glad to see someone else give the greatest theme in TV history some love. The theme was on my answering machine in college. and if I could find that as a ringtone, I'd call myself 100 times a day.

    And no love for Beverly Hills 90210? Fail!!!!

    So many great ones, but I've got to give the edge to Cheers.

    I would guess that many like the opening theme. I like the closing one with the smooth clarinet setting the tone.
