Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Here's a baker's dozen of my faves. I'm leaving off the Beatles (Wonder Years), the Who (CSIs) and the Monkees since those were actual songs. I did leave Veronica Mars though since it's not as famous. I couldn't find ER, which would certainly make the list, so in no particular order:

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Funny; I just added all seven volumes of the Television's Greatest Hits compilations to my iTunes library overnight. Looking over those, plus the few TV theme collections I already had, I'm a fan of:

Cheers ("Where Everybody Knows Your Name") - The greatest TV sitcom should have the greatest TV theme song. And it does.

The Golden Girls ("Thank You for Being a Friend")
The Dukes of Hazzard ("Good Ol' Boys")
Magnum, P.I.
Dallas
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?
Batman (1966)
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
The Patty Duke Show
The Tick (animated)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Untouchables (1990s)
Welcome Back, Kotter

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

The Office (US)
The Greatest American Hero ... Believe it or not, I'm walking on air! Still get goose bumps when I hear that song. Loved this show when I was a kid.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Boomtown
Firefly
Airwolf
West Wing

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Definitely "Sopranos". In fact, anytime I see that HBO static-y opening, I can't help but start humming the opening of this show directly after.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

I can't believe no has mentioned the theme for Friday Night Lights. I love it everytime I hear it on each episode, and the dvd menus.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Post 112, meet post 105.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Hard for me to mention the theme for a show that has never appeared on my TV. Sorry.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Not too many, most themes are just lame.

Order of Favorites:

True Blood
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Battlestar Galactica (Re-imagined)
Firefly
House
Veronica Mars

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

You're doing it wrong.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Remember, this is NOT a 'favorite themes' thread.

From my opening post:

Dawson's Creek, Married...With Children, The O.C. are just a few theme songs (oddly enough they are all real songs on their own) that I don't like but never skipped for the same reason.

Obviously you wouldn't skip a favorite theme, but this isn't that.

A modified theme for Toonami on Cartoon Network. Wish the quality was better...

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

CHUCK! I was just thinking the other night how well that song fits the show and I never skip it, despite the fact that I really don't care for Cake.

I'm surprised at all the love for the Firefly theme. I actually wrote the show off early on because of how awful I thought the theme song was. Luckily, I went back to the series and have watched the whole thing numerous times, but I always skip the opening credits because of the song. To each their own, I suppose.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

It took me a few episodes for the Firefly theme to grow on me. I forgot about Chuck, Cake rules, but falls into that 'real song' category.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Enterprise

ok not really

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

For those that mentioned Futurama, I present French electronica artist Pierre Henry's "Psyché Rock" from 1967.



I think it's a testament to the greatness of The Prisoner that it's a three minute title sequence and theme and I watch it every time.

Edited to replace video, bad sound.

Re: TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?
 

Doogie Howser, M.D. ...after watching the awesome reruns on the Hub and never fast forwarding the titles bc of the theme, just put it as my new ringtone. also, love the SNL Digital Short with NPH.
