RABid Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Whether streaming shows or watching them on DVD/Bluray, two nice options when watching reruns this way is no commercials and skipping the opening theme and closing credits. There is one show in my current rotation that I cannot bring myself to skip. The theme to The Jetsons. Yes, I watch the Jetsons. I also have The Flintstones in my current rotation. Anyway, The Jetsons theme may be my favorite ever. Very well written and performed. It is only 55 seconds long and I enjoy listening to it every time. Is there any theme song that you always listen to rather than skip over? Quote This post edited for speling.

bill5 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 None, but if you replace "cannot skip" with "don't mind listening to," there is a short list... Taxi Star Trek orig series and Voyager Starsky and Hutch (which I would have no interest watching now, but big Tom Scott fan ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 So many… To the selections above, I’d add the old British TV series The Avengers, The Munsters, and a deep cut personal fave, Mannix. Hawaii Five-0 is still probably my personal fave, if I had to pick one… …oh, and gotta mention The Odd Couple. dB 2 Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenElevenShadows Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I don't really have any that I watch every time. The closest is probably: Star Trek: The Original Series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Star Trek: Voyager In one of my first bands, we played a revved-up punk version of "The Munsters Theme", so that has to be thrown into the mix as well.

Stokely Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Always loved the Jetsons, in fact my college-years band attempted a rock version of it up to the point of the lyric: "Jane, his wife!" --then instant cut into Jane by Jefferson Starship. We thought it was clever at least Lots of good older ones, many of which have been mentioned. More recently than many mentioned, the Sopranos had a great intro. Game of Thrones, both the music and the map animations (which would change as the events of the show happened). The first season of True Detective's theme is good and really fits the mood of the show (by Tbone Burnett) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightbg Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Personal favorite: McHale’s Navy. Axel Stordahl wrote the original theme, but when season three came around Frank Comstock re-arraigned it, and found the baddest bass clarinet and tuba players to kick ass with it. Even the tag at the credit roll had a different, hipper ending. Go to 3:41 for the tag theme.

Red Ranger Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Gotta go with another British show- Death in Paradise. The theme is "You're Wondering Now"- originally by Andy & Joey, later covered by the Skatalites, the Specials, and Amy Winehouse. Puts me in a good mood every time!

Thethirdapple Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 The Star Wars Series: ANDOR is a game changer for me. The concept of each episode being layered into the next, building to a crescendo of musical emotions beyond a single theme. This really builds the storyline well beyond the expected content of the show.

JamPro Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I have been re-watching HBO's The Sopranos - I listen to that theme with every episode (I'm now in Season 4). Great theme IMHO. I also greatly enjoyed the theme for HBO's Treme, which I think was written and performed by New Orleans' own John Boutte. Special Mention for the Johnny Quest cartoon show theme (nice example of big band jazz music from 60's TV shows). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
