THE TOP 40 T.V. THEMES EVER–#10: THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO

a.k.a. “Believe it or Not.”  This song really has nothing to do with the show (“Believe it or not I’m walking on air” clearly is about love, not wearing magical pajamas), but it’s one of a handful of songs on this list that, in addition to being a good theme, is also a really good pop song.  I’ve heard they’re making a movie out of this show (but other sites report that it’s been scrapped).  If anyone but Joey Scarborough does the theme, it will suck.  Except maybe if it’s Eddie Vedder.  That would be hysterical.

A final note: William Katt was killer in House, a cult classic wherein he gets to jam a grenade inside the rotting ribcage of zombie Richard (“Bull” from Night Court) Moll.
