Sometimes TV show titles are better than the actual programmes. Here's ten of my favourites. To me these titles say 'sit down and get ready to be entertained'. Strangely I don't even watch some of these shows.

Not in order:

The Rockford Files
Skarsky & Hutch
The Six Million Dollar Man
The Incredible Hulk (end titles)
The Muppet Show
The Prisoner (UK)
The Professionals (UK)
The Sweeny (UK)
Man in a Suitcase (UK)
Doctor Who (UK)

Can anyone think of any others.

P.S. I realise that there is a very heavy retro bias, but these are the ones that immediately sprung to mind.

Hmm, tricky.

North Square (Channel Four drama series about lawyers in Leeds, cancelled after one season)
Millenium (Chris Carter's best product to date)
Carnivale (Stunning)
Teachers (series two) UK show about of comprehensive school teachers. Very funny, well written, well shot.
Star Trek (any of it) Most sucessful TV franchise in history, resistance is futile
The Clangers (knitted woollen mice who live on the moon)
The Magic Roundabout
Murder One (American crime drama at it's best)
Porridge (UK sitcom set in prison and yet to be bettered)
Dr Who (most recent series) Marvellous

Porridge just missed my list because I couldn't be sure whether it was the titles or the fact that I knew that the show was going to be great. Also notable for having no music.

The U.S. are particularly good at titles. Here's a few more that I remembered after making my initial list.

The Sopranos
Cheers
Twin Peaks
The Littlest Hobo
M.A.S.H
Lost in Space
The X-Files
The Twilight Zone (original series)
Knight Rider

I couldn't make a list of 10 TV shows (let alone favourite ones) if I tried.

My TV plays C-SPAN, and that's about it.

However...

The Prisoner (mentioned above) is definitely the finest series that was ever made. Available as a boxed set, too. Love it.

"Be seeing you."
