Television Best TV theme tunes of all-time?

[Fortitude]

Did a search, last time this thread was done was in 2011. A lot of great shows with great theme tunes could enter the fray since then.

What would you put forward as your top 3 TV them tunes of all-time?

I'll start with:

1. Knight Rider:


2. Miami Vice


3. The Equalizer:


Notable is this:


I would run from the room anytime this theme tune came on. Have never watched the show, but have always been haunted by the music... I am guessing it gets the message of the show across perfectly, but having never watched it, I wouldn't know..

1. Crime Story


2. Air Wolf


3. Poirot

The Interceptor, great game show where the leather clad Scottish man chasing the contestants in a helicopter does needless flips to get over gates.

Crystal Maze, no brainer.

The Professionals.

Fresh Prince. It's just so good.

3. Poirot

That has a lot of depth to it! I have never heard the whole composition before. Mental to think he wrote that for a TV show. Think most things are going to sound very shallow and fluffy in comparison to that!
