Favorite TV Themes

Ah, TV themes.  So silly, so much fun to listen to and so nostalgic.  I’d like to include The Star Trek Enterprise theme, but that song was around for a while.

32. DuckTales

Groovy and catchy, and an unforgettable part of my childhood.

31. “Real American” (Hulk Hogan’s theme)

A nostalgic WWF song

30. Fat Albert

How can you listen to the first part of this song and not think of a big fat guy walking around?  The rest of the song is fun, too.

29. Transformers

I prefer the later seasons’ more techno versions over the first, but the ultimate version is from the movie.

28. Perry Mason

27. Underdog

I don’t like the cartoon, but I like the theme.

26. One Piece (American Version)

That’s right anime fans, I like this song.  Kill me.

25. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Italian Version)

It’s so much better than the original…

24. Teen Titans

The Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi version is a bit irritating, but you can’t deny that this song has a great tune.  The instrumental version is pretty awesome.

23. Thundercats

22. Inspector Gadget

21. Exosquad

An unusually serious-sounding cartoon theme.

20. Sonic Underground

The show is stupid, but I like the theme song.  This song is fun, too.

19. GI Joe (DIC)

I know this is pretty much the bastardized version of GI Joe, but I like this theme more than the original.

18. Doctor Who

One of the first examples of techno themes, and still works today.

17. Batman Beyond

I like the techno version of this cartoon.  BTAS is good, but it’s mostly a rehash of the Danny Elfman theme.

16. He-Man

I love this theme.  It just exudes the power that He-Man represents.

15. Darkwing Duck

14. The X-Files

Not many intros can give you nightmares, but the #2 on this list takes the cake…

13. Digimon

I generally prefer cartoons, but why is it that anime have better themes?

12. Invader ZIM

A great cyberpunk instrumental, especially in the end credits.

11. Kane’s Theme (WWF)

10. Sailor Moon

9. Pokemon

8. TNMT (2012)

I haven’t seen this version, but I like the theme song better than any previous version.

7. Mission Impossible

A classic song made into many great versions.  Not even Limp Bizkit could ruin it.  Well...actually, yeah, if they included some whiny-ass lyrics from one of their crappy songs for no reason.

6. Cowboy Bebop – The Real Folk Blues

The end credits theme was used well during the final faceoff in the series.

5. The Undertaker’s Theme (WWF)

Classic funereal song.

4. Pink Panther

3. Power Rangers

It was a stupid show, but it certainly had a great theme.  The Zeo version is good, too.

2. Unsolved Mysteries

Pure nightmare fuel in musical form.  Even Robert Stack's voice added some creepiness.

1. The Olympic Theme (John Williams version)

I actually prefer this version over the original.  It has more nostalgic value for me, and it’s just a better song.
