I watch a lot of shows but there are some shows that have some of the greatest songs, I just wait for the opening theme after the teaser. Here are some of mine:
Birds of Prey's "I'd Start a Revolution (If I Could Get Up in the Morning)" by Aimee Allen. I don't think it's been released on CD but it's been on several movies and TV shows. A really great song.
W.G. Walden's theme to The West Wing.
Smallville's theme "Save Me" by Remy Zero
Veronica Mars's theme song "We Used to Be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols
Buffy the Vampire Slayer's theme, Angel's theme by Darling Violetta... so many, I'll think of some more later.
The Simpsons theme is definitely the most memorable. The best though, without a doubt is THE CHEERS THEME... "Sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your name..."
Shorts: I Named Him Thor Footloose, Cut Loose Tainted Milk Marshmallows Confucius & The Quest For Nessie Wondrous Presentation
That song Save Me annoys the hell outta me, kinda like that stupid show.
Some of my favourites:
"Woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 5. The theme to The Sopranos.
"The Office" theme song by Jay Furguson
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" theme by Nerf Herder
"Futurama" theme by Christopher Tynge (?)
I also enjoy the theme from "Deadwood" as well as the theme songs to The Simpsons and Family Guy. And the House theme song from season one. They've kept changing the song every season, but the first one was the best. And the Alias theme, before the remixed it for season four. I watch far too much television and pay far too much attention to their theme songs.
"Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd" - George Carlin "I have to sign before you shoot me?" - Navin Johnson "It'll take time to restore chaos" - George W. Bush "Harry, I love you!" - Ben Affleck "What are you looking at, sugar t*ts?" - The man without a face "Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death." - Exodus 31:15 "No one ever expects The Spanish Inquisition!" - The Spanish Inquisition "Matt Damon" - Matt Damon
The Twilight Zone. Ages old and people still recognize it.
There's one for sure. That tune is a lot longer than most people realize it is, but the whole version is just awesome. Another one that works well for me is Tales From The Crypt, but I think I'm partial to Danny Elfman.
The X-Files. Everytime I watch an episode and the theme tune begins to play, it just happens without me even realising it, but I just whistle the tune. I bet most people do, you just can't help it.
Noooooo!!!!! I knew the friends theme was bound to come up sooner or later. The theme's almost as annoying as the show is.

What?!? The greatest sitcom ever made? No way dude, no way. Seriously though, I've never known someone to ever hate Friends... are you serious?
Yes! sorry to say man, but that's just like the corniest most atrocious show to me ever. Well, maybe ful house and saved by the bell are cornier and more atrocious, but still. But people seem to like it apparently, so whatever. To each his own. I'm just into a little bit raunchier brand of comedy. Ewwww friends, I always shiver and cringe just thinking about it.

I think the main problem with Friends is that it stayed on about two seasons longer than it should have. It was just really variable for me. There were some episodes where I pissed myself laughing. I mean my stomach hurt, my face was red and I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. But other episodes I didn't laugh one time. Kinda like The X-Files, which I liked as well. They both stayed on the air for two or three seasons past their used by date.

Frasier theme
Frasier had a lot of different themes. Every few years the composer (Bruce Miller if I'm not mistaken) would come in and deliver a new batch. But the whole jazz kinda thing suits the show really well. I'm not a big jazz fan but when it works it works.
I'm adding "We Used to be Friends" to my list because I had my very first Veronica Mars experience this morning. I saw some episode from seaosn two I think so I didn't really know much about what was going on. But there was a scene with Joss Whedon in it (which was surprising because I didn't know he could act) that was really hilarious. And I also love that song, so I'm adding it.
My favourite is a tie between Woke Up This Morning from The Sopranos and The Office Theme Song. Whenever I hear both of them, I love it because I know that I'm in for something really good, whether or not it be Mafia activity or laughs. When I hear either piece I just know that I'm in for something good.
