What are the Best TV Theme Songs?

RX-78-2 · April 29, 2009, 03:03:25 PM

I love TV themes. They make the show so much better _(usually) especially if they're awesome ;D and actually mean something to the show. I really like these theme songs:

- ALL POKEMON THEME SONGS (I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY THEY'RE ALL GOOD AND MOST OF THEM ARE AS GOOD AS OR EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST SEASON ONE)
- That 70's Show's "In the Street" by Big Star as covered by Cheap Trick
- MEGAS XLR THEME
- Some anime ones are pretty good actually, nothing specific, but the translations really take away from the meaning of the song (ironically)

Please keep it to TV shows. I thought about video games, but I didn't want this thread to get too long and/or diverse. Start a new thread for video game themes.

Thread over.

Original Pokémon. The Office. Ed, Edd, and Eddy. That's all the memorable ones I can think of.

The first season of pokemon is the only good one, all the others are garbage. In fact everyone involving pokemon past the first gen is garbage.....but anyways, my list

HAPPY DAYS
FRESH PRINCE

Anime songs. Even though I have no idea what they're saying, I love 'em and they get stuck in my head.

I actually bothered to watch some of these and... WHOA the Desert Punk ones were good. I've actually never seen Happy Days, but the song was good. But... Lucky Star...? A bit weird, but it must be funny. Anyway the Elfen Lied one was actually good and as for the Fresh Prince, it's a given.

WRONG! D/P's theme kinda sucked. :(

ANYWAY... my favorite is Digimon Saver's theme (JAPANESE, not the english one.), and the Dr. Slump theme. (#1)

Also, GO!, Naruto's 4th opening, and brighter Side (Viewtiful joe) were good tune as well. And also, DBZ's uncut and japanese openings.
