re: 2nd bananas, #6 don't you mean Gary from Sponge Bob?
You need a list with Alan King and Don Rickles. Otherwise, yer lists were perfect.
One major omission -in your otherwise excellent enumerations- is the closing of the British Office. Handbags and Gladrags covered by Stereophonics.
Sam
I forgot Spongebob when I was listing opening theme songs too:
"Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!"
Speaking of Ricky Gervais, besides the Stereophonics, I should have noted Gervais resurrecting Cat Stevens for the closing theme song of "Extras". I loved it a couple weeks ago when he replaced it with a Coldplay version.
Oops...and I forgot one the best opening/closing themes of all:
Welcome Back Kotter
You also forgot the closing theme of "Alice."
