I forgot about the family guy theme, and the old unsolved mysteries theme I liked a lot too for some reason, if anyone even remembers it.

Oh, man! I can't believe I forgot The X-Files.

Has anyone ever seen the show Weeds? That theme song is the strangest song I've ever heard -- just the voice and the lullaby feel to it. But I think that one's cool too.

Yeah that is a good theme, it's also a good show. I think I like the look of the title sequence more than the actual theme, with everything happening exactly the same and what not. But the song is a perfect mood setter. It was written in the 60's I think.


Cheers, Chismeister.

Hey, I was just thinking about TV themes and, well, do you guys think that if a show, any TV show, has a bad (cheesy, boring, annoying etc) theme tune, it affects the show itself? Or if it has a great theme tune, it helps or makes the show better? I mean, look at Lost and 24, all they have are sound effects playing over the title, and in my opinion, they're brilliant shows. Then there are some annoying ones, I liked Friends spin-off Joey, but the theme tune was revolting. I don't know if the tune made the show seem totally cheesy or what, I'm not sure. But I love singing along to the likes of Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle, maybe because of my music taste, but it makes me feel happier toward the show itself sometimes too.

What do you guys think?

Quoted from Seth
My fav theme is Earl -- it's real short! "...My name is Earl."  


That's pretty long compared to the opening theme from Murphy Brown.

Quoted from George Willson
That's easy. The Simpsons. Danny Elfman is a genius composer when paired with Steve Bartek's orchestrations.


Couldn't agree more. However, now that we're at Season 18...

I love the scrubs theme song and agree with you on that.  Malcom and the middle too, is good, I love they might be giants.  I dont know who does the scrubs theme song though.

Mad About You - I just LOVE that song
The Simpsons - of course
The 4400 - quite weird

who remembers Lalo Schiffrin's old theme of Mannix in the 60'?  A fine part of jazzy music

How has no one (as far as I know) mentioned WALKER: TEXAS RANGER.

OH. MY. GOD.

Now that was a TV theme. When that music starts you just know he's coming....

CHUCK. NORRIS.

I think the best themes were the John Williams...
Amazing Stories, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, etc...

But a few of my favs have been Space Above and Beyond, Thunderbirds, The Flash (Danny Elman's best TV theme), and of Course The Jeffersons and Sanford & Son!!!

The Twin Peaks theme is diffinately up there, as is the X-Files theme. But my favourite would be the theme from Millennium. Such a sad yet foreboding theme.

I find my favorite and most memorable TV theme would have to be the old Hitchcock theme.  Other big ones would have to be X-Files and the theme to Captain Planet (it's soooo bad you have to love it).

It's hard to say the best without being influenced by my favourite TV shows.

Here they are anyways -

Six Feet Under - love, love, love it!

Roseanne - (always used to watch this around dinnertime and it still makes me hungry listening to it!)

Baywatch - I love singing along to it. Especially Borat's "sexy drown-watch" skit!

Friends - I still do the clapping, even to this day...!

Dallas - Come on! This is a classic!

A-Team - Who doesn't try to quote this - "In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team." Cue the music.....

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - another one I can't help singing along to each and every time....

Last but not least,

The Littlest Hobo - IT RULES. The song makes me want to cry even now, lmao!

Good call, Andy. Thomas Newman composed that didn't he?
