My all time favorite is Angel. The music they used is absolutely brilliant, making it my favorite intro for a show ever, yes, even beating out Buffy...

The 4400's song and opening credits are very good by themselves and fit the show great too. It's just about the only opening I don't even want to skip thru when watching a show on DVR/DVD.

I'll second Firefly and The Office (USA)
And I probably posted it the first time this thread was active, but since it's sitting on my DVR, the alternate theme used on Enterprise for the In a Mirror Darkly 2-parter is just too cool.

LOVE the ANGEL theme...the extended version apparently didn't impress very many, but I loved it - better than I thought it would have been when it was released.
DS9 - I've heard every version of McCarthy's theme at least several thousand times by now, and I still love it.

Lines like "You're little angel hung the cat up by it's tail, your therapist took off with your wife and didn't even write, third fiance didn't show, have no lights check is in the mail"
Cupid had a great theme song, "Human" by the pretenders that fit the show.

Monk--the tone and lyrics of the song just seem to fit the tone of the show and Monk's character.
The Bob Newhart Show--the jazzy horns, blending into the more mellow bridge, then back to the horns always seemed to me to fit the tone of the show--silly comedy with heart. The horns also seem to evoke Chicago, where the show is set.
