Obviously, T.V. shows are a huge part of our entertainment culture. While the content of these shows is clearly important, the theme songs are arguably just as memorable. Many people know a show's theme song even if they don't regularly watch the program. So, in this article, I will give my top 10 T.V. show theme songs. WARNING: this will be biased as many of these will be some of my favorite shows, however, I believe that they have theme songs that are extremely memorable. So here we go:
1. Friends
This pick is extremely biased. However, Friends is a fantastic show and whenever I hear this intro it makes me happy, so this gets the number 1 spot.
2. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
If I had to take a guess, I would say approximately 40 percent of Americans know every word to this theme song... There's no way this is even close to true, however, this theme song is extremely popular to people of all ages.
3. The Office
No lyrics, no problem for this iconic theme song. The Office is arguably the most popular show for millennials and the theme song matches the quality of the content. I dare you to listen to this and not tap your foot or nod your head to the beat.
4. Cheers
While I can't say that I have watched Cheers that much, I have to give credit where credit is due. This theme song is very popular and has been since the show came out in the 80s. It creates a very chill and retrospective vibe and that is sure to lead to popularity.
5. Seinfeld
I would like to thank my parents for introducing me to Seinfeld growing up. It is, in my opinion, one of the greatest shows ever made. The theme is short and sweet and at one point I considered making it my ringtone. This theme is easily recognizable by almost anyone that enjoys good television.
6. One Tree Hill
"I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw is one of my favorite songs. It gets me hyped every time I listen to it and it's just a classic teenage angst song that reminds you of middle/high school. Combine that with a great show like One Tree Hill and you've got a formula for success.
7. Batman
This needs no explanation. Everyone knows who Batman is and everyone knows the theme song. A classic beat for a classic show.
8. Happy Days
Happy Days is another show that I can't say that I've watched that often. However, it is a show that is pretty recognizable to everyone of all ages and the theme song is just plain happy.
9. Scooby Doo
This is along the same lines as Batman. Everyone knows who Scooby Doo is and everyone knows the famous jingle.
10. The Addams Family
This is another show that doesn't get that much exposure these days but is still widely known. The popular snapping of the intro is catchy and entertaining. It also makes an emergence every year during Halloween.
