Your favourite TV theme!

[demonmike04]

Hey guys, just wondering out of curiosity, what are your favourite TV themes?

I'l start things by saying mine would have to be Angel and Friends TV theme.
The Angel theme has such a good tune to it, its very catchy, whilst friends is very uplifting to listen to.

So, whats yours?

[AshMat]

Scooby-Doo & What's New scooby Doo?

[Bluejay]

I quite like the one from Prison Break.

[Dan Dare]

Airwolf.


honestly.

[Monopolyman]

The Soprano's has a pretty funky theme. Never really took notice of the actual show, despite recommendations, but I always like the theme tune.

Also, someone was bound to say it eventually, but Cheers

[Xeal]

angel's is good. better than buffy i think.
thundercats is probably my fave.

[Cube]

Star Trek: DS9 (latter version)
Star Trek: Enterprise (IAMD version)
Futurama

[Xeal]

Cant go wrong with star trek, or futurama.
poirot.
monk.
wwe raw & smackdown.
desmond's.
cheers.
fairly odd parents.

i got so many i might just end up naming most shows i watch.

[Ormingstoke]

Angel
Firefly (perhaps something of an acquired taste)
Farscape (season 3 & 4 version)
Buffy
Doctor Who

[triforcemario]

Doctor who.

[The3rdChildren]

24, X-Files, Pokémon (I wanna be the very best), Adventures of Pete and Pete (HEY SANDY) are all great, to name a few. There are countless others I have neglected to mention like the several terrifyingly catchy Disney themes present throughout my childhood and a slew of anime adventures I doubt would have a place among the shows collected in this thread.

I have four hours of work to kill, so I'm going to spend a little while thinking about this and make some additions later.

[demonmike04]

Angel
Firefly (perhaps something of an acquired taste)
Farscape (season 3 & 4 version)
Buffy
Doctor Who
Wow, the majority of those were made by Joss Whedon (Buffy, angel, firefly just incase you didnt know).

I quite like the Doctor Who theme actually..

[knightendo]

ah yes airwolf :D season one's version though, it became too "plinky-plonky" by season three...

my faves are definitely knight rider coz it's just a classic and sounds amazing on a tv with good bass! i like the new battlestar galactica's. the eerie orchestral music and lyrics followed by those pounding drums rock! and of course there's spongebob squarepants, simply for its stupidity :D

[Ninty 182]

The X-Files one is brilliant

Doodla, Doodla, Doodla, Doodla

Doooo, do do do do doo doooooo doo....

:bowdown:

[kyletherobot]

tru calling is good, smallville is too in a very cheesy way, also firefly and the credit song from frasier (tossed salads song), scrubs too, of course the x-files aswell. i like good tv theme tunes :)

[Fields]

Pokémon (I wanna be the very best)
I wanna be the very best
like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land
searching far and wide
Each pokemon to understand
the power that's inside

Pokemon! its you and me
I know its my destiny,
Pokemon! Oh you're my best friend
in a world we must defend
Pokemon! a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through,

You teach me and I'll teach you,
Pokemon! gotto catch'em all

Every challenge allong the way
with courage I will face.
I will battle every day
to claim my rightful place.
Come with me,
the time is right,
there's no better team.
Arm in arm we'll win the fight!
It's always been our dream!

----------
Legendary :D

[harribo]

X-files and red dwarf

[MunKy]

Futurama, Angel, Twilightzone (2003) and I suppose Buffy even though its got abit old.

[Djstawberryjam]

Oh good selection here, Futurama is deffo up there also Firefly is deffo there to, red dwaft is classic, but hands down for me has to be .... Inspector Gadget! im addited to it so much (my current ring tone) i cannot wait till the DVD comes out :D

[Ashley]

To those who said Angel, you heard the extended version?

Um Angel, Buffy, Firefly, Friends, Frasier (allbeit short), Veronica Mars, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

[Ashley]

Cause of the server errors can't edit, so instead I'm adding the following:

Pup Named Scooby Doo
3rd Rock From The Sun
Wonderfalls (great theme tune)

[Big Red]

knight rider

[weeyellowbloke]

The Soprano's has a pretty funky theme. Never really took notice of the actual show, despite recommendations, but I always like the theme tune.

Also, someone was bound to say it eventually, but Cheers

Well if you like it, then go buy some Alabama 3 who did it, namely Exile on Coldharbour Lane. Mmmm, going to listen to that country acid house music all night long.

Back on topic, I shall nominate the classic Doctor Who theme. Oh and Lost, can't get enough of that single thump when the title comes up.

[Solo]

FREEKAZOID!!!1

[Nintendork]

Monkey Dust.

That's not really funny by The Eels.

[Arragaun]

Monkey Dust.

That's not really funny by The Eels.
I've always been curious about their music, now I know it's good. Cheers.

Even though I can't remember how it went, the Thundercats theme was great. Anyone got an idea where I can find it?

I like the Red Dwarf one because of its comedy value and the Farscape one was pretty cool with all the Aaaaaah aaaaahyaaaaaaah or something.

[Konfucius]

Airwolf, Knight Rider, Star Trek TNG, Mission Impossible

[demonmike04]

To those who said Angel, you heard the extended version?

I think I have, but it just sounds like the original theme was dragged on for a bit longer, how long is the extended version?

[gaggle64]

Captain Scarlet! Fantastic 60s semi-pop. All the old Gerry Anderson shows had a typically cheesy yet-brilliant score. Fireball XL-5 also had a brilliant main theme.

I wish i was a space man
the fastest guy alive
I'd fly across the universe
In fireball XL-5...

Hehe, great tune.

[mike-zim]

i cant believe that the A team has not been mentioned. but knight rider was brilliant. there was a cartoon called the visionaries that had a greta them tune.

[Ashley]

I think I have, but it just sounds like the original theme was dragged on for a bit longer, how long is the extended version?

3.23 - Its on the soundtrack.

[Charlie]

The Power Rangers!

Go, go Power Rangers!!! :D

Somehow I have the Power Rangers sound track, I found it on my compute r acouple of weeks agaon.

[Indigo]

Captain Scarlet! Fantastic 60s semi-pop. All the old Gerry Anderson shows had a typically cheesy yet-brilliant score. Fireball XL-5 also had a brilliant main theme.
Damn right, the Captain Scarlet theme is the jazz. As is the Stingray theme for that matter. They evoke such nostalgic memories.

[Kurtle Squad]

Naruto - Wind

And the Paramount Comedy 1 ones, hahaha

[Meik]

Retro: Loads. Catchphrase, Challenge Anneka, Big Break, "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?", Beadle's About, Blockbusters, Blackadder, Going for Gold, Happy Days, I could go on for ages.

Current: Not many that particularly spring to mind, standouts are 24 and The Sopranos.

[Xeal]

I have to say i cant really argue with any of these. Freakazoid is genius.his home base is the freaka-lair....

Cosby show was always good i thought.
magnum p.i.

[weeyellowbloke]

I've just remembered another classic, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Here's a little experiment to try, when you're with a group of people sing the first line and then fall silent. it is literally impossible for people to resist continuing with the next line. Before you know it you'll have a full blown sing-a-long.

[AshMat]

OOO, can't beat Lost!
"mmmmmmmmmmmm"

[triforcemario]

I wanna be the very best

[knightendo]

magnum p.i.

i forgot all about him! i have the first season and was SO glad that half way thru it changed to the theme we're all familiar with. so good! made by the same guy responsible for the a-team's theme, which if you notice has the same structure as magnum... how sad am i for noticing that!!

[mikel]

2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps
futurama gotta be
family guy!
scrubs
malcolm in the middle
and red dwarf all the way

[kav82]

Airwolf .

[Bogbas]

There can only be one: Macgyver

[Kurtle Squad]

I think the Pokémon theme beats every other theme to be quite honest!!

[AshMat]

American Dad, i love that theme tune

[spirited away]

The Mighty Boosh!

[mikel]

ahhh spirit ze might boosh, watched yesterday but was a letdown to the
big hype ur sis made,
pretty funny naanbread bit though
themes kwler and american dads rocks too

[Ramar]

Its close either;

Baywatch
Chucklevision
The Chipmunks
Fun House
The A-team

[mikel]

but we all know panic at the disco would be a kwler theme dont me ramar

[Babooo]

For me, it has to be the mighty Smallville. Absolutely love the show and the theme tune aint bad at all. A little cheesy but good nevertheless.

Actually thinkin about it, Buffy did have quite a good themetune. It always put me in the mood to kick some vampire ass. I never thought I would say that...

[mikel]

ahh that rocks, but scrubs still better

[Ashley]

but we all know panic at the disco would be a kwler theme dont me ramar

I always thought "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" would fit (Nip/Tuck season three spoilers)Kimber/Christians failed wedding.
C'mon lines such as "Haven't you people ever heard of closing your goddam doors" for
the Julia/Christian kiss, "the groom's bride is a whore" is so Kimber bless her if I weren't so lazy I'd vid it.

I admit, the Scrubs theme is very fitting, and a nice relaxed song. Saw the video for it yesterday, I like the grainy B&W look parts of it, works well.

[mikel]

yea but u gotta love scrubs, every1 about it whoops but lol
theme tunes gd but the randomness just makes it stupidly funny
which is gewd if ur a weirdo
so i love it personally

[bob]

I have the Power rangers theme tune as my ringtone.......its awesome.

I also like Pokemon, Red Dwarf, Men behaving badly, thin blue line, saved by the bell etc

[mikel]

ooo saved by the bell, havnt heard in ages but rocks

[Jordan]

Weirdly enough, i can only remember the 'college years' intro.
"YES, I'M STANDING AT THE EDGE OF TOMORROW!"
"AND ITS UP TO ME, HOW FAR I GO!"
*more crap*
"ITS MY TIME TO BREAK AWAY!"

[mikel]

ooo happy day!!! the song, im not just recolecting the old days
any1 remember that? classy

[Ashley]

Sunday Monday Happy Days!

Saved by the Bell, yeah I'm only remembering the college years. I can remember they sang that corny song when they graduated, about how they may all be going to different places but will remain friends forever.

Found the SBTB theme tune, it'll come flooding back to you: http://www.angelfire.com/film/jonnyspage2/Themes/Saved%20By%20The%20Bell/Saved%20By%20the%20Bell%20Intro.htm

Also the Ally McBeal theme tune. "I've been searchin' my soul tonight, I know there's so much more to life, Now I know I can shine a light, To find my way back home"

[Zero Seven]

"You cannot ignore....Sam is the hero next doooooooooor!!!"

and yeah Red Dwarf theme is great but thats because im obessed with the show.

The Justice League Unlimited theme tune is my fav, I love that tune! DEN NEH NEHHHHHH, DEN NEH NEHHHHHH, DEN NEH NEHHHHHHH DEN NEHHH....

[Mr_Odwin]

All that theme tunes do for me is make the programme not start quick enough. So (related to Ashley's thread) when watching stuff on DVD the search button is employed and when I'm watching stuff on regular TV I channel skip for a bit.

[Xeal]

oooh jayce and the wheeled warriors. Watched it again last year, it wasn't as good as i remember. Theme is a classic though.

i think rocks was the best naruto theme.

although all listed here are good Thundercats is still the best.

[mikel]

hitch hikersguideto the galaxy
im 14. not a nerd at all andi knew the story by heartages b4 it came out on film
film = big let down
but like theme

[Kurtle Squad]

I know it's not a Theme, but the Rimmer song on Red Dwarf kicks arse!!

[mikel]

ok then if we are doing them, hermes song from futuram
episode - when hermes requestes his grooov back or something

[BeerMonkey]

fireman sam

nuff said really *hehe*

[mikel]

fine postman pat? ur just getting silly now
jungle book?

[Zero Seven]

fireman sam

nuff said really *hehe*

Well you sure earned my Respect :grin:

[Babooo]

Postman Pat has quite a good theme tune in my opinion....might be for the little kiddies but still manages to stick in my head for a long while. Lovely. :D

[Xeal]

Not so much a theme, but i did like the opening of ReBoot. I suppose it was similar to farscape.

Now and again is good.

And if I had to pick between Sam and Pat..... Sam takes it.
