There have been some cracking tunes on our screens through the years when we have sat down to watch our favourite television shows but what are the best ones out there and is it because they have used any instrument like guitars in particular or just because they are great theme songs?

The A Team
This is one of the most recognised tunes in television history without a doubt. This one combined drum kits and outrageous guitar playing to make it one of the most loved themes ever, they are actually trying to remake a film for this that is released this year. Surely this is going to suck considering none of the original cast is going to be in it.

The Saint

If you haven’t heard the saint tune then listen to it? This was really the television series that kick started Roger Moore’s career and the character within it was really very much like James Bond. There are not many people out there that actually know exactly when Roger Moore was approached for the role of Bond, some say it was when Dr No was in talks. We do know for sure that he was approached many a time during the filming of The Saint.

Hawaii 5-O

This is the personal favourite of mine. Twelve seasons is a very long time indeed 1968-1980. You knew what was being watched from the other side of the house when the music started on this one. Whenever this was on we would all have ab it of a dance to it, a fantastic tune.

What is it that makes some of these sogns so good? It has to be a combination of everything from acoustic guitars to the genius creators behind the pieces of music themselves. If you have never heard of any of these shows, shame on you!
