The Simpsons says "The Simpsons" at the begining so it has words.

If you include the Andy Griffith Show you might as well include I Love Lucy (which also has unspoken words). Personally I like the Get Smart theme.

Nope. People going "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" During the theme song when they say the Simpsons. Therefor the song starts bofore the words "The Simpsons" are spoken.

So no, it doesn't:p

well SORRRRRY, i could only think of a few that were in my head at the time. i was thinking of them because earlier in the day i was eating lunch in a restaurant and was thinking "i bet everyone here would start cheering if a cartoon theme song came on the radio" and decided to myself that i would start a restaurant chain that played cartoon music.

Street Hawk.
Barney Miller.
The Odd Couple.
New York Undercover.
Head of the Class.
The Cosby Show (any one of those themes).
Get Smart.
I Dream of Jeannie.
Bewitched.

question: does 24 even have a theme song? I mean, it just comes on. I'd consider that "beep... beep... beep" as a theme song, b/c I get so excited when I hear it... anyway, back to my list:

The A-Team (well, the ones without the voice-over intro)

Batman: The Animated Series

I was really tempted to pick the Pink Panther theme (that rascally Henri Mancini :cool: ), but I ended up picking the song from Peanuts, which incidently, isn't the theme song for Peanuts, but I know which one Jake meant.

The piano dancing scene where Pig Pen does his funky thing and everyone else is dancing it up like an early 80's New Wave Dance Party. :up:

I have that song on a Charlie Brown CD I bought about 10 years ago.
