There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

If your talking about theme songs then my list would have to include:

The Twilight Zone
Twin Peaks
The X-Files
True Blood

I re-watch Wonderfalls quite often, and it is a lot like Firefly, I cannot skip past the opening theme, I have to sing along every time.

Another that most people might think strange for someone of my age to mention, but I also love the theme to the Nickelodeon show The Adventures of Pete and Pete, performed by Polaris.

But for a show that was perfect in using music to set the theme and structure of all the episodes, none compares to Cowboy Bebop.

I'll never forget that one episode of Castle (Think it was ep 7 or so season 1) where Nathan Fillion was told to stay in the police car while the cops checked the building, and he's going "Puh na na naaa na naaaa naaa naaaa Puh na na na naaaa na na!" and then the bad guy falls on the hood and Nathon's little song is orchestrated in the action music! Hy-Larious!

Found the first part of it on youtube. If I remember correctly the music starts about when this clip ends when he throws the door open.

Also the little whistling bit in the intro is kinda catchy and humorous.

Edit: oh cool, links are videos instead. I'll remember that.

Spot on! I would pick this as my absolute favourite.

The other show that had the theme that suited the show was Mark Snow's theme for X-Files. Now I was never a fan of the show but that introduction absolutely found the essence of the show. Absolutely brilliant piece of music.

Other good ones....
John Barry's theme for the Persuaders,
Nerf Herder for Buffy

If we are sticking to TV shows then for main themes the most common is pobably Airwolf for me. That pops up into my head more often than others.
But I also get the themes from Cheers and MASH in there as well. I have tendancy to whistle The Twilight Zone theme whenever something weird happens.

If it's something sadder then it's either The Lonely Man theme from The Incredible Hulk, Close Your Eyes from Buffy or Laura Palmer's theme from Twin Peaks which I consider one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed. In fact all the Twin Peaks music suited the show perfectly.

And as we are talking scores here I have to mention the new Battlestar Galactica. Not so much for it's theme or other music (although it was good) but for the way Bear McReary took Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower, then disguised it and wove it into the show as the awakening theme for 4 of the final five. McReary then took the main sequence of notes which, when turned into the numbers on a toned keypad, gave them the coordinates to (our) Earth. A brilliant way of not just having music playing over the scene but have it become part of the scene itself and in an extremely important way.

Ignoring main themes and out-of-show "source" music 'cause otherwise we'll be here all year:

There is a bagpipe arrangement of "MacBeth's Theme" in the Gargoyles series, but I can't find it on Youtube.
It's basically the last minute or so of this:

Where that "rolling" fanfare kicks in, just done in bagpipes instead of horns. It's one of the only tunes in existence that actually sounds good on the pipes.

Then there's the "Jaffa March," which still sends chills down my spine:

The Klingon Theme which has been with us since TMP:

It's not exactly reused in any series, but "Unicron's Theme" has become my go-to "Cosmic Horror" music.

There's also "Inca Rose" from El Cazadore de la Bruja

For the utterly sweet, there's Beast Player Erin's "lalalila."

Of course, Yoko Kanno's "original" music for Macross Frontier, which is just a pastiche of all of her favourite soundtracks. (Because she's the goddamn Yoko Kanno, that's why.)

Then there's "Dance of Curse" from Escaflowne, again by Kanno-sama.

And I have to give a shout-out to Wreck-55's "The Demon in Me" and "The Will to Love" from W.I.T.C.H. (both were written by Producer Greg Weissman especially for the show).

(Sorry, but there are no "clean" versions. Damn people talkin' over my music.)

An oldie: the "Thundertank" BGM from Thundercats:

The rock/jazz/gospel "impending beatdown music" from Bleach, that plays whenever Ichigo's about to deliver a truly Epic ass-whuppin':

And of course, the four words that can stop any monster, dispell any nightmare, bring down any evil empire, and save the world from total annihilation:
"I. Am. The. Doctor."

And a whole bunch of background music from Oban Star Racers that isn't on Youtube.

. . . Y'know, I'm gonna break my "no main themes" rule and add "The March of the High Guard" from Andromeda, because it's just so damn alien and cool:

Lyrics:
Heaven burns, the stars are falling,
As the enemy draws nigh.
Sound the call, fleet and Lancers,
"Commonwealth" our battle cry.
Face the foe, never waver,
Summon fire from the sky.
From a million sovereign planets,
Scattered through the endless night.
Bound by blood and High Guard honour,
Hold the line until the light.
Hold the line against the Night.

So I wasn't going to reply, but then I saw that my faves weren't on the list. 'Course that could be because they are a little off the wall, except the last ones. In no particular order, tv music/themes that have gotten stuck in my head:

Theme Songs
Witch Hunter Robin - Shell by Bana

Veronica Mars - We Used To Be Friends by The Dandy Warhols
Say what you want about the show, I'll probably even agree with you, but the opening song is just fun.

McLeod's Daughters
It got way too soapy, but I love the music.

Just orchestral would be:
Hogan's Heroes

Magnum
It's not musical, but the eyebrow wag at the end is my favorite.

Stargate SG-1
I think one reason this gets stuck on repeat in my brain's iPod is the absolute GENIUS timing of the clips with the music.

Well, that's my part for clogging up the boards with too many links.

Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

Crusade's episode music was memorably awful. To this day, I think it was one of the main contributing factors to the failure of the series. It was so grating that it was hard to wait through the bad starter eps hoping for better episodes later on. I learned later that the Bab 5 creator jettisoned the Bab 5 music guy when he did Crusade. Error.

As a child, the Gummi Bears theme song got stuck in my head. Don't get an aneurism laughing.

Besides the main theme, the Klingon music from TMP was practically the best thing in the movie. But that's a film, so I'm cheating there.

The Evolution of Music in Video Games at WonderCon 2021
https://graphicpolicy.com/2021/03/26/composer-stories-the-evolution-of
-music-in-video-games-at-wondercon-2021/
I dont think tv scores are what the used to be

Firefly is still up there with some of the best music

The best stuff these days might be done by audio producers in video games and music makers might go to t he video game industry or other foreign films to make their money, the big soundtrack scores aint what they used to be.

Unforgettable ..... Unforgettable in every way. And forever more, that's how you'll stay. That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable tooo0000ooo....I would say the crazy unique stuff Game of Thrones, Sponge Bob Squarepants, Original Mission Impossible, Batman The Animated Series the main influence is Danny Elfman-ish but I think later toons might have used influences from pop rock songs or guys like Hans Zimmer in the Batman superhero toons. From that other studio comicbook company the Spider-Man toons were catchy. There is a lot of tv with unforgettable striking impressive music because that's their musical design.

Kids Saturday morning toons without doubt took some of the simplicity from tv and hollywood film scores and made them even more simple and catchy for 'GIJOE' the W.I.T.C.H. Intro totally spies, Totally Spies, Ben 10 hanna barber toy company type stuff almost like childrens songs repeating their theme again and again but a little more evolved with musical creativity. Sometimes when you hear these kids toons you feel like you've heard it before i guess they are designed in that familiar kinda way, the kids of course crying demanding the latest toys for birthday and Christmas presents. The 90s seems to have good stuff like Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Theme Song was a catchy hiphop rap pop song, Riverdale a more modern show had memorable pop stuff inside its show but its main theme i dunno it was probably crap ...if there was one in Riverdale was totally forgettable.
Friends was memorable all over the radio also, there is the pop stuff like the 90s sitcom series ' Friends' "I'll Be There for You" a song by the Rembrandts, guys who were hired to make a Shiny Happy People style Song.

The tv show Supernatural had a memorable tune but they just re-used an old song Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas an American rock band that became popular in the 1970s. Oldies like Rawhide are memorable or The Lone Ranger which is a more simple version of the Rossini William Tell Overture. 'Get Smart' had that old parody movie tv feel - a bit of Woodstock, Hollwyood score and American Bandstand mix - The Monkeys was a tv show with their catchy pop song, Hill St Blues is classic tv, Clone High cartoon, The Simpsons animated cartoon series, Wonder Years. The 70s and 80s had their own style like 'Different Strokes Theme Song' things got darker in the 1990s with Twin Peaks theme. The toons still had cool stuff like Avatar airbender animation, I liked the classic The Six Million Dollar Man Theme, the Flintstones toon, The X Files the Millennium spin off Tv Title composed by Mark Snow, a thing of musical beauty but not as memorable as Xfiles spooky theme.

After 911 I feel tv's mood shifted it became very political or spy triller or more grim and less kid friendly more flesh and smut was on the sreen through guys like HBO, Netflix would come later you still had classic scifi feel of stuff with 'The 4400' this tv theme felt more pop and funky, the Stargate franchise and StarTreks both stayed on tv both Trek and SG-1 survived in the new melinium post 911 Afghan Iraq war age. A post-apocalyptic Walking Dead the zombie show is memorable for its strings rhythmical drive and uneasy darkness and creepy vibes, Archer might be there its a toon with a cool james bond austin powers japan anime style Intro in its Seasons ... I keep feeling there is something else out there that's cool like Twilight Zone or Outr Limits or The Jetsons, the Jetsons was probably good but I don't believe it had an actual catchy melody I dont remember it other than being disney jazzy classical and a high pitched voice 'meet george jetson' but I dont recall much except a lot of strings, crash bang symbols and crazy horns but I do not recall any melody. Farscape was another show that moved from the late 90s and had a theme that was memorable for its weirdness and complex layer of sound but I can not sing or hum any of it to you...other than 'My name is John Chriton, an astronaut' the actors would later start in Stargate, the series Babylon 5 for me was one of the first that produced that 'Orchestral' sound but no instruments, all samples, built in a way that everything can made at home on some dude's Laptop or Computer.
Mira Furlan btw died recently, Actress on ‘Lost’ and ‘Babylon 5,’ Dies at 65
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/22/arts/television/mira-furlan-dead.ht
ml Jeff Conaway died, Jerry Doyle and Michael O'Hare also died...they are almost as rare as the old Trek cast.

Chernobyl I recall won an award over a year ago but its not really nice musical stuff, its a lot of fx, dissonant noises and weird, which is very suitable for such a tragic topic, its like the groans and horror steels and unique sounds coming from a Power Plant, the woman who wrote the stuff knew what she was doing she is also known as a singer and choral music arranger. There are sometimes good tv themes in Korean or Japanese shows but they are not always catchy enough to stay in my head, the weird German tv series 'Dark' is memorable. I dont always go by what critics say the Awards Ceremony also gave awards for 'Joker' I was left unimpressed by its score, the only thing that stood out for me is that they paid a known Pedophile 'Garry Glitter' the British pop star criminal was deported from Cambodia and was jailed in Vietnam. 'Downton Abbey' that's another British show I would remember its , I'm pretty sure it got an Oscar or Emmy Award-winning thing or Cannes or BAFTA or something. I almost forgot 'Law & Order' very memorable and there's a compilation out there somewhere on the web of Dog's howling and mourning whenever that theme tune comes on.

Matlock the crime comedy drama also had a memorable theme, better than the dallas one which I thought was kinda stupid, Rockford Files Theme was fun Pete Carpenter also did 'CHiPs' a show about two motorcycle officers on Highway Patrol.

'Cheers' has a nice theme I wouldnt laugh at anyone who likes it, Gary Portnoy is a real musician and a good song writer, it does its job as a theme, the audio is recorded well, honky piano suits it, the song is good its lyrical and its catchy, I'm pretty sure it got awards back in the day...and he's got a website and youtube channel, his 'Mr Belvedere' feels like something out of an old Charleston, Blues, Jive, Swing dance hall with a little bit of broadway mixed in
youtube.com/channel/UCYnP66zeAdvZl2y2porYFrA

https://www.garyportnoy.com/

Game of Thrones, the Monkeys or Wonder Years or Spongebob were catchy, the songs would be in my head as soon as I think of them

I'll have to put on some world music or jazz or classical now
otherwise some of these catchy themes they could be stuck in my head

It's been probably 30 years since I heard it but that theme song is an ear worm that Alzheimers isn't even going to remove.

First time I've heard it since I was a kid and it's exactly how my head remembered it.

And I couldn't tell you the plot line of a single episode or any character's names other than Denver.

Three more I somehow forgot:

Alien - the most haunting music Jerry Goldsmith ever did.

Star Trek: Nemesis - some good tracks.

But one surprise, perhaps, has not one track from a single artist but several: Lost Girl. The incidental music in the Season 2 episode I Fought The Fae (And The Fae Won) when Sabine is running in the Hunt was some of the best I've ever heard. Some background tracks which have broadened my music horizons:

Luxury (Domenica)
Sour Cherry (The Kills)
I Know What I Am (Band Of Skulls)
Pretty Life (Jakalope)
Best Of Me (Morningwood) - c'mon, bitches indeed!
Ghetto Love (Spinnerette)

There's no way a network would allow a full minute theme song today when that's an ad or two worth of revenue lost every time it plays.

Dude, that's awesome. Thanks.

I can't believe they didn't have "Sleeping and Dreaming" on it though. Just seeing that album made me look for it because it's a song I heard one time when I was maybe 4 years old and that little worm has been in my brain for 40 years now.

I found it on Youtube.

Really funny how your brain works though. I swore they said "Yelling and Screaming" at the end of it, but they don't say that once. They say "Shouting and Screaming". But in my mind if I ever thought of this song over the years, I heard them singing "Yelling" with the exact same voices and cadence of the actual song.

I know it's not a Mandela Effect. I don't believe in 'em. But it's funny how so many people do. I bet I could probably post that to a Mandela Effect board on Reddit or something and have a dozen people over the next year swear that they said "Yelling" and it would end up in some YouTuber's 200th video about Mandela Effects on Reddit where they had to explain to their audience what Fraggle Rock was and who Jim Henson was.

I have no idea what this episode or any other episode of the show was about. They just never played reruns anywhere as I was growing up on any of the channels we had, so I never saw it again after I was 4 or 5 years old and it originally aired. So it's just really funny to me that I remember that song.
