I thought the 'Motown' opening used in the Cosby Show was different? and the first season?
How about the Sinbad show? Didn't last very long, but I think it had three songs.
Growing Pains I think had a different first season theme.

I don't know if this counts, but the Wonder Years changed segments of the song played for its theme song. I can hardly remember..i know in the midseasons they extended the song and I think near the end they just played the 'rockin' part of Joe Cocker's song.

The theme changed a couple of times but all in all the same instrumental with different variations. Up until the near end when Blues Traveler added lyrics and sang an actual theme song.
Still crossing my fingers for a dvd release.
Actually just found out that a dvd release is forthcoming later this year by Anchor Bay

Where did that quote from your signature come from? It struck a little too close to home for me...
"Top Gun...The sad thing is there's like a million better movies out there. How could one group of people, guys have you, like that movie that much that they know every line and every scene from it...and they were straight guys, cause they were hittin on that Beth girl...It's a sad day for America"- Dave Ulrich(My Drunk Friend)
Back on topic, none of the Star Trek themes have changed other than to speed them up a bit.
Also, I just watched the complete UPN Twilight Zone on DVD and did notice a different theme. The only one I remember was the one done by Korn.

Obviously haven't seen it in a long time, but I seem to remember Bosom Buddies changing its theme. I remember Billy Joel's "My Life" being a theme song, but don't remember if that was the first one, or the one they changed it to. Ring a bell with anyone else?

Not really much of a change, but I always remember the extended version of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air song. What was the deal with that, it was just used very early on I believe. Guess it was too long...

Also, the Billy Joel theme song was sung by the cast, with Tom Hanks on lead.

"I Dream of Jeannie" changed themes after it's first season. The original theme was pretty strange sounding, full of fits & starts. The second theme, the one we all know & recognize, was much better IMO.
The Dick Van Dyke show also kind of changed themes. The first season had a more jazzy theme which would occasionally stop for a bout of synchopated drums (while they'd show "snapshots" of the cast) before they switched to the more familiar theme with the "couch tripping" gag.

I believe That Girl changed its theme in its last season.
Both Family Guy and All in the Family rerecorded their opening songs.

Alice changed the lyrics to its theme song, even though the music was essentially the same.
1st & 2nd Season: Early to rise, early to bed. In and between I cooked and cleaned and went out of my head.
3rd & 4th Season: Used to be sad, used to be shy. Funniest thing, the saddest part is I never knew why...

The Urkel Sho--er, Family Matters originally had a short version of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World", before they settled on the familiar "As Days Go By."
