Oh this was the Theme from The Jackie Gleason Show, in all its incarnations. The song was composed by Jackie Gleason and it is a brilliant piece of music

Season 9 theme of Knots Landing was the best. I know most hated it.

The Dallas theme is the all time best in TV history:

(Sorry about the link, but embedding was disabled.)

Agreed..my favorite version of it was season 8...season 9 on dvd release

The incredible hulk was the best with Wonder Woman too.

Absolutely love the Dallas theme song, it still grabs me and has aged beautifully.

I really loved the Falcon Crest theme, but not for the music at all...but for the EPIC hair toss that Susan Sullivan did year after year. Just perfection.

I also think the Law & Order theme is a classic.

The following P&G soap openings are among my favorites:

ATWT's 1981-93 Opening:

AW's 1981-87 Opening:

AW's 1987-96 Opening:

GL's 1985-90 Opening (after the show switched to a rock version of "My Guiding Light"):

(Please note that I'm fully aware that the visuals for the above GL opening changed in the fall of 1986 from an orange background to a blue background. Also, the rock theme's tempo change two times during this period.)

GL's 1991-2002 Opening:

SFT's Circa 1974-81 Opening:

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WWVS2-LFLy8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Note that I actually prefer the more uptempo version of the above theme, which was dropped in favor of the slower version in early 1980. Below is a fan made SFT opening that features this uptempo version:
