Good post!!
Thank you for being a friend - Golden Girls

But the instrumental version used in seasons 2,3 and 4. I don't really care for the version with lyrics used in the 5th and final year.

Besty--what season of Family? I'm just going through the episodes now (SUCH a great show--the gay episode aired in 1976--and is kinda wow for its time.)
"Thierry la Fronde (1963–1966)"
I grew up with reruns of this--such a great throwback memory.
I'm glad someone mentioned the theme for FRIENDS. It was pretty great the first 2,000 times we heard it!
I also second the mention of the theme song for PSYCH. I used to look forward to episodes where they had time to play the verse as well as the chorus. But the very best were the special episodes where they would sing it in Spanish or some other musical style.
And GOLDEN GIRLS, of course, which somehow never gets old.
But, of course, we all grew up with the theme to THE ADDAMS FAMILY. It's hard to ignore that.

The Addams Family theme is so infectious. Anytime you hear those four notes everyone immediately knows to snap their fingers. Plus it was just so 1960s, when a sitcom could just be silly without taking itself too seriously. (Same with That Girl, Bewitched, Gilligan's Island, etc) These days there isn't one silly sitcom. They all have to be so earnest.
Game of Thrones is pretty good.
As someone mentioned "Gidget" is also one of my favorites. Full version-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZqBIQCIu5g
Sally Field must cringe over some of those opening shots though.

Eric---this is the theme I love. It started with Season 2, and John Rubenstein, who played Nancy's ex-husband on the show, wrote it.

Cosby Show
Perfect Strangers
Family Ties
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
... So many others, but I've dated myself enough already
Ahh I'm glad Jason at least mentioned IT'S GARRY SHANDLING'S SHOW, which undoubtedly is my favorite.
This is the theme to Garry's show...

I love that theme--I also liked the slower first season theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iZt3OxNdz8&list=PLJI_hrqCFqfx58gHDkeWh14RJtFoQC5kf

VERY important follow up question for everyone: which season had your favorite Cosby show intro.
(For the record, this is the correct answer:)
The best theme from the best sitcom that nobody ever saw. But it set the stage for some of the best sitcoms that followed it. My mother and father never missed an episode and talked about it for years.
I found an ok DVD set of most of the one season it ran. It won the Emmy for best writing after it was cancelled. I watch episodes of it a couple times a month.
