Best and worst TV show theme music
Moderator: Beowulf
There's too many good themes! "Dukes of Hazard", "KnightRider", old-BSG, "Airwolf"....
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

"The Wire" is the best show in the history of television. Watch it today.

Choices, choices.
Best: Gargoyles theme rocked, X-Files had a pretty nifty theme, Buffy TVS theme kicked ass, B5 had some great music the first 5 seasons . . .so many choices.
Worst: Eh, fortunately I've blurred out most of the really bad ones from my memory. So I couldn't really say. I also thought the OP from Enterprise was fairly tolerable.

Best Overall Theme: Old BSG. It's orchestral and so lovely to listen to!
Best new theme: nBSG 2nd Season. I love the style of that exotic... thingie they do. Dramatic.
Best anime theme: Ouch. The full version of GitS Stand Alone Complex's theme (6 min) is beautiful. Go Yoko Kanno.
Worst overall: 'Obsession' from .hack//sign. Goddess, that high pitched voice is so damn annoying!
Worst new theme: nBSG season 1. What the hell is that beating? 'Music'?
Worst (next) anime theme: Blue seed. (Take it easy dangerous night game! Pull the triger foxy town! Mysterious tokyyyyyyo!)

Elfen Leid (or however it is). Best opening theme EVER. I mean EVER. Period.

I find it rather catchy.. on the other hand I can't stand the opening theme for Samurai Champloo.. which is a shame since I love the show.Nephtys wrote: Worst overall: 'Obsession' from .hack//sign. Goddess, that high pitched voice is so damn annoying!
Best- Hmm.. that's a toughie. GITS:SAC has a great theme, Airwolf, the A-team, Gargoyles, Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League..

What's wrong with the Friends theme? I'm not the biggest fan of that show, but man was the theme upbeat and catchy.
Best: There is no one "best theme" for me, so I'll put down all the ones that occassionally pop into my head and bring a quick smile to my face.
B5, A-Team, Buffy, Angel, Greatest American Hero, Magnum PI, X-Men the cartoon (the old one), Duck Tales, TNG, old BSG, Airwolf, Dallas, LA Law, Northern Exposure, , Diff'rent Strokes (oh yeah), Soap and Benny Hill (always get a laugh out of me), Futurama, Happy Days (although I hated the show, the theme rocked), Roswell (I like Dido), Thundercats, Robotech, and Heathcliff.
Worst: Crusade/Call to Arms.
jms, if you can read this, I just want you to know one thing...

I know, but it was just too upbeat and catchy for my tastes. Like the upbeat and catchy equivalent of one of the more syrupy 80's power ballads.Bob the Gunslinger wrote:What's wrong with the Friends theme? I'm not the biggest fan of that show, but man was the theme upbeat and catchy.

Some of best would be Angel, Third Watch, the old BSG theme, STAS, Knight Rider, and Farscape.
Some of the worst I got to say were DS9, VOY and ENT. I've only watched the complete opening to each of them once or so.

You considered DS9 and Voy's music bad? I don't remember that much of DS9's opening, but I thought Voyager's music was fine. It was just a low orchestral song that gave the impression (with visuals) of a majestic or relaxed trip. Pretty much contrary with what you're supposed to feel probably, given the theme of the show... but the music, not the show is what we're judging.Grand Admiral Thrawn wrote:Some of best would be Angel, Third Watch, the old BSG theme, STAS, Knight Rider, and Farscape.
