I nominate the theme from True Blood:
http://youtu.be/MiBhZIaJsQ4 (http://youtu.be/MiBhZIaJsQ4)
Whatcha got?
Cowboy bebop - Tank! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLT6Fm7JebM)
Though the True Blood opening credits are my favorite.
Have to give props for this Retro series:
Greatest American Hero (Ear Worm) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Q3orQhEcA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Q3orQhEcA)
I'm biased, but I'll have to go for the greatest chimpanzee show ever - Lancelot Link Secret Chimp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV9Y0Qy0U20
otherwise the more obvious Mission Impossible, Lalo Schifrin's finest hour
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k55NuWQCh78
Cold Case opening theme (full version) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=addVfIY2pB4&feature=related)
Short version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDIsmhG0zRE)
Hawaii five oh... that's the one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AepyGm9Me6w
Wallis and Gromet
Monty Python
Men Behaving Badly, it's bad but it's good, junk food and alcohol may be required to appreciate it.
Bugs Bunny,,,,, On with the show this is it...da der da, da der da,, da da da da da, da da da - excellent for repetitive exercise for those of us with minimal brains.
Buffy
The Jetsons, I've heard it loud as an intro to a rock concert, cool.
The Simpsons version of The Flintstones.
Get Smart
Dexter
Black Books, everything about Black Books is good.
Breaking Bad. It's so simple and short and on with the show...
I got American Gothic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3AtdOQtxvY). Unfortunately I could only find the ending credits, which just gives a brief taste, but that show had nice music.
Nice... Like 'em all...
Here's three from me:

(how can you beat "In her satin tights, fighting for our rights..."?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcflCzZlLcQ

Six Feet Under - and it has the pictures!

I gotta leave room for someone else, don't I?
It'll be interesting to hear from some of the older posters here. I'm sure I've jogged a memory or two with that list like TFL did with Lancelot Link did for me.
Ya know, after 56 years of television, when I heard some of these themes, some of them not since they were aired, brought a tear to my eyes. Lassie and Captain Kangaroo for starters. Makes me aware of my mortality...
great list Gawen!
Here's a couple more...
The Love Boat:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_wFEB4Oxlo
Carol Burnett Show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51wS8v8QA_o

Zorro opening theme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59WefngCjhE
Man, I can't remember how many of those old "Zorro" swords I broke and how many times I used an old sheet as a cape xD I think I even had a Zorro hat at one point and a mask of sorts, and a sockhorse...ahhh, good times, good times....
