Best for me. It always freaked me out watching this as a kid. The show never lived up to the opening for me either.

Forgot this one, easily one of the all time greats

and this was a classic in its day and a really catchy hook with that whistle thing whatever it is

when I was a kid this opening fascinated me for some reason with the flashlight effect and that sound.

Qfan, you probably already know this, but the Hawaii Five-O theme was performed by the Ventures (who are considered the most successful instrumental band in rock and roll history); this theme actually peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969. (Unfortunately, it is rare for tv themes to do well on the charts.) The Ventures biggest hit came in 1960, with the #2 single "Walk - Don't Run."

Here are my favorite cartoon themes of all time, that I remember fondly from my youth:

Heathcliff (1984-87) introduction:
