Cookery and TV themes

I thought I should mention that today I made a pumpkin and kipper curry. And, while it smelled really weird, it tasted pretty good! Also, about a week ago I finally made meat chip cookies. Not too bad.

I just watched an episode of 20 to 1 on my TiVo (so it cut the episode length down by about half), and I really enjoyed it. The subject was Top 20 TV Show Theme Songs. Their list went like this:
20. Friends
19. The Muppet Show
18. The Nanny
17. Mister Ed
16. CSI
15. Green Acres
14. Degrassi
13. The Monkees
12. Laverne and Shirley
11. The Greatest American Hero
10. Gilligan’s Island
9. Skippy the Bush Kangaroo
8. The Flintstones
7. Cheers
6. Neighbours
5. The Addams Family
4. Play School
3. Happy Days
2. The Love Boat
1. The Brady Bunch

I agree with most of these, if not the order. I think that perhaps Neighbours and Play School don't deserve to be on there, or at least not that high anyway.

While watching it, Cara and I tried to figure out what would come next. Some candidates we thought of, which didn't make it (and probably should have):
The Simpsons
Seinfeld
The Beverly Hillbillies
Family Guy
Charles In Charge
Full House
Sesame Street
Doctor Who
Fraggle Rock
Diff'r'nt Strokes
Family Ties
Get Smart

And of course, there are some which are awesome, but I can accept that maybe they are more apparent only to myself (or people like me):
MacGyver
Transformers
Spiderman
X-Men
Buffy
Stargate
The NBA on NBC music (cheesy live performance here, complete with answering machine anecdote, air-dribbling, and dueling 80's rejects - one on electric guitar and one on lead ridiculous jacket, with a violin to boot)
The Cleveland Show
Scrubs
South Park
Duck Tales
Gummi Bears
Perfect Strangers

And there is one TV theme which must stand alone. It is overstated. It is understated. It is impossible to forget. and it is unforgettable.
Angel

Did I forget any notable ones?
