Jonny Quest was a great cartoon, with a great theme song. The Boomerang channel used to have it on every night, but now they've moved it to 3am on Sunday nights so I don't have a chance to see it anymore.

I thought cartoons weren't allowed, but, you have to include Speed Racer!

Maybe not the "best," but certainly the hardest me for me to get out of my head once I hear it...
Sanford And Son
I agree with Peter Gunn.

Not worthy of this thread, but How I Met Your Mother has its own theme, and it is not a bad one either.
Family Guy, American Dad, and the Cleveland Show all have their own as well.
In reply to Hungary Bill:
George of the Jungle is better. 
Batman The Animated Series had an excellent theme:

Geez..no Speed Racer?
Get Smart?
Batman?
I keep seeing mentions of Top Gear UK's theme. Remember that the copyright stuff is why we don't get "real" episodes in the US, and you have to go look for the new ones online.
"Jessica", by the Allman Brothers Band.

Yeah, I think Yoko Kanno is a "pop music" genius. This one's not her voice, but from what I can figure out, it's her arrangements and her piano. Chase that 'Data Dog', Spike! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28UOGpNaQmI

South Park?
Not sure why I always liked Hill Street Blues, WKRP, MASH (TV with out the lyrics), and the theme to The Bob Newhart Show used to be my ring tone.
I had to get to page 3 before someone mentioned speed racer? Wow, I thought you were car guys?
Oh come on, how is it in 3 pages nobody has mentioned Cheers
