Here's another lucky eleven choices, 1960's sitcom themes without lyrics.
The Andy Griffith Show
Bewitched
Captain Kangaroo
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Get Smart
Hogan's Heroes
I Dream of Jeannie
Leave It To Beaver
The Munsters
My Three Sons
That Girl
This leaves out a lot of great tunes. I dropped The Bullwinkle Show and Gomer Pyle USMC from the list to put in My Three Sons and Captain Kangaroo. I know the Captain isn't technically a sitcom, but that's a great theme song and it deserves to be on the list.
A lot of these are very memorable and you won't need to click on them to remember them, but I recommend a click on That Girl. The theme by the late Earl Hagen is a beautiful arrangement. I love the pizzicato strings.
For anyone who might ask if it's Dick York or Dick Sargent on the Bewitched link, please. I'm not a philistine.

I always liked the "My Three Sons" theme song, so it has my vote. And that's a bleeping valuable thing, I don't just bleeping give that away.
I tell ya, it's bleeping golden!
As soon as you mentioned instrumental sitcom themes, I immediately thought of the theme to "Family Affair." Pure greatness.
Still, a lot of greatness on this list (though I cried when you said you'd dropped Bullwinkle's theme--I LOVE THAT ONE).
I always used to sing along with the That Girl theme, just singing, over and over, "THAT...girl, THAT...girl, THAT...girl, THAT...girl!" Tee hee!
This is a tough one. I'll have to give it some thought before I vote.
I want to make a website of opinion polls that have a wiki component so people can add their own favorite answers, like the old Jump The Shark used to do.
