TV Shows the longest opening themes (1 Viewer)

[Regulus]

Back when I saw The Moneychangers on TV during the holidays in 1976 I noticed it had a rather long opening theme When I opened the Package containing this show and timed it.. (the opening theme is almost three minutes long!) Does anybody know of other TV Shows (Including Mini Series) that have long opening themes. What shows had opening themes that lasted at least two minutes?

The Prisoner has a three minute opening sequence that was used in each episode: two minutes of music followed by one minute of dialogue. The only variation is a new Number Two each week..

I don't have any idea which television themes would be the longest. But do you think the theme to The A-Team television series would be among them? I also thought of the theme to Airwolf, but that one may not be that long.

Fury had an opening clocking in around 1-1/2 minutes from its first season. Maybe a longer opening in later seasons!

No thoughts on the topic, but the question reminded me of this bit on Family Guy.

The first thing I thought of was L.A.LAW. It's theme clocked in at a minute and a half with a great theme tune:

Bay City Blues was pretty long - 1:33

I have an A-Team closing theme on tape somewhere that goes on forever. There are bits in it I've never heard before.

The original opening for "Still The Beaver" on the Disney channel was 2 minutes.

H.R. Pufnstuf clocks in just under 2 minutes and still seems even longer!

How about Probe, which served as the pilot for the series Search. It clocks in at about 3 minutes! And it has one of the nicest instrumental themes around when it kicks into high gear at about the 45 second mark on.
