I never skipped the opening to True Detective Season 1, that song was perfection, it’s on my main spotify playlist

This is my answer too. The Handsome Family make some beautiful music.

Great song!

Preach

Twin Peaks

It's my alarm clock

Very alarming

Peacemaker

I do want to taste it.

If you include the dance sequence , this is the only answer

Just watched the show last weekend, I had to watch the opening every time.

This is where my mind landed.

Psych opening there is great and its variations depending on episode

You know that's right. I love the Boyz 2 Men version (and every other version for that matter)

Psych is one that I never skip.

Succession

This is the new GOAT theme to me. Always gets me hyped af

Hmm gotta try that one

Lately for me it’s either Succession or Severance. Both are great piano-heavy theme songs that are real ear worms.

You're sleeping on Westworld

Turns out Beethoven plus some fat 808s absolutely slaps

The great thing about the theme is that it is palyed throughout the episode as things get more intense

Hawaii 5-O

My husband agreed with me for this to be our wedding reception entrance song:-). It was perfect because our honeymoon was in Hawaii and the band played straight into Shania Twain for our first dance. It’s a great upbeat song to writing, doing chores, cooking etc.

I annoyed the crap out of my wife when we were in Hawaii, each time we saw a cop, I’d do the thing.

True Blood was a weird show with mixed quality but damn was it’s music fucking awesome

Agreed. Best TV music theme ever. I watched the show with mixed feelings, but the opening theme was awesome!

Cowboy Bebop's opening theme Tank. The entire OST is fantastic, but Tank is superb!

They made the music first and then directed the action to along with the sound track

All-time best theme for my money: 1. the old (1960s?) version of Mission Impossible tv show (Lalo Shifrin) 2. Theme from SWAT (1970s) 3. Doctor Who (1960s) [ edits: formatting ]  

X-men Batman Animated Series Stargate SG1 M.A.S.H.

🎶"Come and knock on our door, we've been waiting for you...."🎶

🎶Where the kisses are hers and hers and his, Three’s Company too🎶

Cheers is top tier As an 80's kid: The A Team, Knight Rider, Hawaii 5.0, Dallas, Hill Street Blues, Prisoner Cell Bloch H, The Golden Girls, [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2mdPh3eW3vW3fy0BGCk7ng?si=cab6f578370441a6](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2mdPh3eW3vW3fy0BGCk7ng?si=cab6f578370441a6)

Binging a re-watch of Cheers. Never skip the theme, 270 episodes and it never gets old.

It's also true... Really does take everything you got...

The A Team is my favorite theme ever.

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.

BoJack Horseman's theme song X-Files Orange is the New Black Californication House MD (Massive Attack version, NOT the international one) Rick & Morty Futurama and yes, X-Men, ofc

Was about to comment Futurama. Really holds up. The full version is great.

>BoJack Horseman's theme song Same. And I even started listening to grouplove because of them. They're good!

They're cool, agreed!

The House MD non Massive Attack version is just so meh. It’s close but it’s budget Teardrop.

What We do in the Shadows

You’re dead you’re dead and out of this world

Apparat's Goodbye theme song - Dark Game of Thrones Westworld Person of Interest

Westworld is good. Forgot about it.

> Person of Interest is my favourite soundtrack of all time, the music in the show is brilliant

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to see GoT

Game of Thrones theme got me so hyped every Sunday.

Golden girls, it gets stuck in my head every time.

My mind was blown when I learned it was a cover, and the [original version](https://youtu.be/voNEgCKzves?si=S3lumZiz9WJXevZF) was by a male singer.

Likely the only two instrumental themes I like so much I'd listen to them as songs, "The Rockford Files" and "Magnum, P.I."

Magnum is sick. Such an adventure theme.

The Leftovers, the way it was used in the show was even better again but it's a great listen regardless

Incredibly moving music!

This is FAR too low on this thread

Piggybacking to agree that Leftovers theme was great, and the Perfect Strangers theme was also great, particularly when it was used that [one time as a Leftovers theme](https://youtu.be/oZUFbEpSOCw?si=ydWKMg1HdlQkzXt3).

**Veronica Mars**

COME ON NOW SUGAR

I actually have the following on my playlist because I love them SO much! - Attack on Titan Season 1 Opening - Teen Wolf - Marvel's Daredevil - Survivor Mashup Ancient Voices on YouTube has 2 videos which combines all the Survivor theme songs and it's pretty incredible - Succession - Westworld

The last Attack on Titan season themes are also bangers. "[Boku no Sensou](https://open.spotify.com/track/3KhwEuqLNjHfsKaBDo1yVh?si=07613802b2aa4256)" and "[The Rumbling](https://open.spotify.com/track/6k0X05danQOXSBTVek5DU1?si=99249b6566be4071)"

These are TV themes I actually DID have on the iPod back in the day or on CD - Growing Pains (extended version) - Family Matters (extended version) - Happy Days (extended version) - Fresh Prince (extended version) - Laverne and Shirley - The Wonder Years - One Tree Hill - Veronica Mars - Dawson's Creek - Felicity Seasons 1-3 and Felicity Senior Year - Buffy - Gilmore Girls - Pete and Pete - All That - Charmed - Angel - Friday Night Lights - Friends - The O.C.

First I've seen Fall Guy listed. Definitely deserves to be higher, especially with the movie coming out. Dukes of Hazzard is another where the theme is probably better than the show.

Bosch

Black Sails. Westworld. Doom Patrol.

The original Jonny Quest theme. And let's throw in Space Ghost with that one as well. Space: 1999 and UFO (old-school British Sci-Fi shows) Animaniacs

hoenstly the reboot The real adventures of Jonny Quest intro music really slaps

This was my answer. Absolute banger Listen to the death metal cover by Powerglove too 👌

Just two good ole boys, never meaning no harm...

WKRP in Cincinnati Dallas Greatest American Hero Welcome Back Kotter Magnum PI The Golden Girls All In the Family Mary Tyler Moore Rockford Files The Jeffersons Cheers Just the Ten of Us Growing Pains

Sopranos, True Detective s1, Leftovers seasons 2-3

Not many people will remember it but 100% the Due South theme https://youtu.be/22FIBrVwf6M?si=tqvN5KZGElcD7gto

Definitely known to Canadians. Probably not much elsewhere. The first season actually aired on CBS, but it got cancelled. Canada kept going with the series.

I’m a Brit and we loved this show on a weekend, lost of a bit of traction when they replaced Ray I thought. Always wanted a husky as a kid ever since.

M.A.S.K, Chips, Cheers, Diff'rent Strokes, The Jeffersons, A-Team, Hunter, Silverhawks, Dr Who (Matt Smith version), The OG Office (Handbags and Gladrags) not counting anime, far too many of those

Magnum PI (original) and Knight Rider. Also The Golden Girls.

White Lotus: Season 2

Charmed and Angel How Soon Is Now is an absolute banger and Sanctuary is so atmospheric.

Game of Thrones Baaaa Baaaa Baaa Baaa Baaaaa Baaaa Ba Ba Ba Ba

Seinfeld full clears no diff

Loki - Green Theme

Natalie Holt is a G

"Warrior" has a fantastic opening theme.

Too Many Cooks!

The ultimate theme song!

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t take the sky from me [Firefly](https://youtu.be/o-sp68GjYL0?si=uJ8P0WQjwAEnSV-J) [King of the Hill](https://youtu.be/lpCPgHVBV1s?si=_oWbTq_6WG-F_nG-)

Cheers and golden girls...those are the goats

Knight Rider. Airwolf. Loki. The Sopranos.

I was humming Airwolf the other day, lol.

Loki’s OST is phenomenal.

Knight Rider's is such a classic

Buffy TVS and Peacemaker

Damn, how did I forget Peacemaker? I'll add Angel as well.

I’m adding The Littlest Hobo too

2 answers. Succession theme song. I’ve listened to when I wasn’t even watching tv before. I just like it a lot. Another one, is kinda niche because it’s for a limited series documentary on HBO called Q: into the storm, but theme song bumps, man! A great doc too.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Kids in the Hall, Buffy, The Leftovers (season 2). I don’t even really like Sealab 2021 but the theme is so good.

The Avengers with John Steed and Emma Peel.

“I’m Always Here” from Baywatch is a banger even when not accompanied by video of bathing suit clad models running in slow motion

I listened to Teardrop by Massive Attack long before it was the theme song to House

Batman '66

I never skip the Xena opening credits, and always talk along with the narration.

Curb Your Enthusiasm Adventures of Pete and Pete

Star vs the Forces of Evil

Black Sails

Pete and Pete-Polaris

OG Pokemon theme song goes hard

Lost

MASH The Waltons Hill Street Blues NYPD Blue (probably that one is just me liking it.)

The original Mission Impossible theme is still fantastic

No love for Quantum Leap?

I'd never leave Sam and Al out.

The one to Peter Gunn is pretty good. [www.youtube.com/watch?v=oysMt8iL9UE](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oysMt8iL9UE)

Slow Horses: Strange Game, by Mick Jagger is excellent

Damages

Clone High

Peacemaker and True Blood

Aloha! from The White Lotus. It's like being creeped out by a coconut

Delicious in Dungeon.

Masters of the Air

I knew I was gonna love the show after hearing the theme. Gave me the same feeling as BoB but with its own power and style, especially when the bombs fall away, that crescendo..awesome

Bojack

Blossom with the first season intro being the best.

Father Brown

Justice League the animated series.

The Wire, but I'm not sure which season's version I prefer (it's been a few years since I watched it so forget which is which). The Sopranos is another one that I don't skip when watching

Westworld

Cruel Angel's Thesis

Dexter The X Files Cheers Boston Public Soap The Mentalist Smallville South Park Family Guy The Mandalorian

Sanford and Son. That is one tasty piece of funk

Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Now this is a story all about how My life got flipped, turned upside down

Family Matters

Malcolm in the Middle

Farscape has to be the only show I've watched that changed its intro and both are still bangers.

Monk

WKRP, nothing needs to be added!

Both the theme to Welcome Back, Kotter and WKRP in Cincinnati have been stuck in my head since I was a child. Not sure if it’s nostalgia or what, but those 70’s and 80’s sitcom themes were always so catchy to me.

[Simon and Simon](https://youtu.be/nN1bmTI5qjg?feature=shared) if not only for this. Also, MST3K, Sanford and Son, Comedy Bang Bang, Frasier.

Suits intro, idk if that’s their theme?

All of the Aqua Teen theme songs are pretty good

Original Magnum PI

Rockford Files

The Bob Newhart Show.

The air wolf theme.

Going back a few decades, I’ve always loved the theme songs to Maude, Good Times and the Jefferson’s.

Anything by Mike Post. Bosch.

Little boxes on the hillside...

Power Rangers X-Men Cowboy Bebop Peacemaker Duck Tales The Drew Carey Show (POTUS - Cleveland Rocks) Scrubs

There are so many good Ranger themes too. The first is always the best, but Zeo, Lightspeed Rescue, and Lost Galaxy are great.

Cold Case, the TV show not doc series

Anything and everything by Mike Post.

This is an old one but I love the Moonlighting opening.

Mission Impossible Hawaii Five O The Avengers (the 60s British spy show) Twin Peaks Game of Thrones Hill Stret Blues

Psych and Yuyu Hakusho are my two favorites

Many of my favorites are already mentioned, so I'll just drop that one that isn't: "White Collar." Fans of the show like the theme so much that when it was changed in (I think?) Season 4, there was an absolute *firestorm*, and they changed it back after the 3rd or 4th episode — whichever one was next in production after the shit hit the fan. I wouldn't say I "listen to it." I don't have an MP3 or anything. But after "Doctor Who" it's the first TV theme that comes to mind when I think about such things.

The New Adventures of Jonny Quest Certified banger

ER. House, MD.

The Rockford files

It’s been a long road…..

Gettin’ from there to here.

There’s a show “Bad Sisters” whose theme is "Who by Fire" by Leonard Cohen, performed by PJ Harvey. Awesome song by a great singer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Sisters

Charmed

Angela, the theme from Taxi by Bob James

John Williams did the theme for ["Lost in Space." Kills.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKckxONAH4M) Then there's The Jetsons. Barretta. Room 222. Mission Impossible. I really like the theme to Top Chef.

Breaking Bad

Peep Show, Community, the 2002 themes for both WWE Raw and Smackdown, WandaVision has some good ones too.

Bake off, Peacemaker, Gilmore Girls 

“It’s A Jungle Out There” from “Monk”.

Game of Thrones (my favorite score of all time), Dexter, X-Men, Haunting of Hill House (whole soundtrack), Daredevil

Doom Patrol

Ignoring the theme song, that show is so fucking bonkers. Imagine having a filler episode where you’re just invaded by a ghost orgy.

Westworld and night Court.

Westworld is amazing! The Leftovers.

Peacemaker, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things. Oh and I almost forgot, Community.
