Shows that changed their theme songs in mid-stream
And I'm not talking about theme songs that get an adrenalized umph like Differ'ent Strokes or Facts of Life or Silver Spoons - I'm talking about totally different themes.
Happy Days changed from (We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock to Happy Days
The Flintstones changed from Rise And Shine (an instrumental) to (Meet) The Flintstones
Hardcastle & McCormick changed from Drive (super-charged tempo) to Back to Back (a tepid ballad)
What other shows changed their theme song?

Seinfeld added vocals to one episode before it got changed back. It is discussed in the season 1 & 2 set.

The Twilight Zone.
The first season's theme was by Bernard Herrmann. The subsequent and more familiar theme associated with the show was by Marius Constant.

"That 70's Show" has always had the same theme song.
I was also going to mention "Monk" since I loved the original theme, and was pissed when they replaced it with a generic Randy Newman number.

The first season they used Big Star's "Out In the Street" but following that they got Cheap Trick to record a version of it. They added stuff like the chorus "We're all alright, we're all alright." as an allusion to their performance of Surrender at Budokan.

Felicity changed themes for the final year. It was from an instramental piece that I think was written by Pink Ranger, to a piece written by JJ Abrams and some other guy.
Second one was much better.

Alias...Im still not sure which one I like better...the new one pounds the bass more, but the old one had a cooler vibe to it.
