Surely it has to be Minder? After all, I wrote the theme tune [1], sang the theme tune....

On a serious note, two stand-out 70s theme tunes for me; Laurie Johnson's score for The Professionals (possibly the best thing about the whole series; credits sequence here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCit5ApWeIE), and Johnny Pearson's "Heavy Action" from Superstars (soundtrack to a thousand Keegan-falling-off-bike clips ).

[1] Popular misconception, however, this; it was actually his then-wife Patricia who wrote it, not Dennis.

Equalizer FTW, would be great to see a new version.

Joking aside, it was pretty cool BITD.

Other worthy mentions: Magnum, Miami Vice, X-Files. And how could I not mention The Dukes of Hazzard.
