The cool King Of The Hill theme is by the band, The Refreshments (who had a couple hits including the song, Banditos).

The Refreshments were a rock band from Tempe, Arizona. The theme song to the long-running animated series King of the Hill was a piece the band traditionally performed at soundchecks.

My fav is Sigmund and the Seamonsters theme, which was covered later by Trippin Daisy and I liked their version too.

Also loved Good Times, the Facts Of Life, One Day at a Time, the Love Boat and lots of other themes already mentioned.

edit: how could I forget one of the best? land of the Lost! That ruled!

I also really like the cartoon X-men theme as well as the Night Court theme. And some others I like are the Incredible Hulk ending, Amen (cool slap bass and organ sounds in there), and Perfect Strangers (cheesy I know but catchy)

The Addams Family & Threes Company. And my favorite the 70's Saturday morning show, Land of the Lost! Oooh my other favorite one, The theme from the Rockford Files!

My favorite theme songs are "Saved By The Bell" & "Dallas". The "South Park" theme is cool too.

Also the previously mentioned Munsters, Welcome Back Kotter, WKRP, All in the Family (whole tone scale!), Good Times, & Facts of Life were cool. For some reason I really liked the Just Shoot me outro music, "Life Keeps Bringin' me back to you" as well.

Actually, he played Jonathan Kent — Clark's adoptive father — on the WB/CW series "Smallville" for the first five seasons. They gave him his inevitable heart attack and killed him off so Clark could learn the meaning of loss that he can't prevent.
