TV themes you NEVER get tired of hearing?

I'm wondering which themes are ones you never get tired of, and perhaps even sing/hum along to it even after hearing it a thousand times.

This isn't a favorites thread, but a spinoff of the 'most annoying' theme thread.

For example:

As a song, I can't stand "We Used to be Friends" - used as the Veronica Mars theme. However, the song was such a perfect match for the first two seasons, I would never skip it, despite not liking it. I think it's because avoiding that song would make the show seem incomplete somehow. Weird, but there it is.

Themes I never tire of hearing regardless of liking/disliking them are:

CSI:
CSI: Miami (what would Caruso's one-liners be without that scream? )
CSI: NY
ANGEL
Dawson's Creek - for the same reasons as Veronica Mars
Married...With Children
CBS News and all its variations ('cause I'm a James Horner nut)
Deep Space Nine (I must have heard this a million+ times by now, too)

Angel, hands down. Sometimes I'll watch the opening credits twice cause I love the music so much...

Even though it was one of the most overplayed songs of the year when it was finally released as a single, I have never gotten tired of the Friends theme. Even now when I hear it, I'll listen to it all the way through.

They did, in the end credits, as an instrumental.

Why no love for the greatest TV theme of all time - "It's Garry Shandling's Show" - I LOVED singing along....

This is the theme to Garry's Show,
The theme to Garry's Show.
Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song.
I'm almost halfway finished,
How do you like it so far,
How do you like the theme to Garry's Show.

This is the theme to Garry's Show,
The opening theme to Garry's Show.
This is the music that you hear as you watch the credits.
We're almost to the part of where I start to whistle.
Then we'll watch "It's Garry Shandling's Show".

This was the theme to Garry Shandling's show.

This is going back a few years, but I always enjoyed the Airwolf theme music....especially when they went around blowing sh*t up.

I really like the theme music for CBS's NFL broadcasts. It's written by E.S. Posthumus who has one album out and has supposedly been working on another one that was supposed to come out last year. Almost all instrumental soundtrack type music. Their music is used on dozens of movie trailers and one of their songs is the theme song for Cold Case on CBS.

The whistling was the best part.


Another vote for Firefly. I was caught off guard when I first heard it. But after watching the show, it fit perfectly.

Most of them have been mentioned but, as a big TMBG fan, I can't let Malcolm in the Middle get no love!

One Day at a Time.

Upbeat, cheery, fun, and great to sing along with. You can't hear it and not wanna get up and boogie.





This is it. This is it.
This is life, the one you get
So go and have a ball.

This is it. This is it
Straight ahead and rest assured
You can’t be sure at all.

So while you’re here enjoy the view
Keep on doing what you do
So hold on tight we'll muddle through
One day at a time, One day at a time.

So up on your feet. Up on your feet
Somewhere there’s music playing.
Don’t you worry none
We’ll just take it like it comes.

One day at a time, one day at a time.
One day at a time, one day at a time.
One day at a time, one day at a time.
One day at a time, one day at a time.
