The Prisoner had both a classic opening sequence and a classic closing sequence.
The opening to Babylon-5 was a good one, I always thought.
The Simpsons opening is good, yes, but it's of course a takeoff on The Flintstones, which is itself a takeoff on The Honeymooners. (Not that I personally think that the opening of The Honeymooners is classic . . .)
I always like the opening of Baretta, myself. And S.W.A.T. may have been an execrable show, but it had a pretty kickin' theme song. For the 70s, anyway. And finally, the trumpet flourish of The . . . F . . . B . . . I . . . was always one I liked.
And yeah, I was born before 1980. 'Way before.
