Best TV Theme Song?

[stormstarter28]

I think I'll have to go with The Wonder Years. That song always brings a single tear for me. What's your favorite?

This thread has been done many times before. There's never been a clear cut winner, but it is undoubtedly a Mike Post composition. Here is one candidate:

I wouldn't count that since it was a stand-alone song; not written for the show.

Yeah, wonder years and Life Goes on fall into the same category here - both excellent songs though.

I like the Cheers theme a lot - though not necessarily a "good" song or anything
