We have several TV shows that we love watching even after they ended years ago, like Friends. But sometimes we are fond of the theme songs of TV shows. Well, almost all the TV shows have a theme song, and some of the TV shows have the best theme songs that are our all-time favorites and just unforgettable. These TV theme songs take us back to the time we enjoyed watching the shows and they bring back nostalgia. So, to get back to those days and reminisce about them, we have a list of TV theme songs.
The Twilight Zone
We doubt that we can ever forget The Twilight Zone in our lifetime, let alone its theme song. Well, The Twilight Zone theme song takes us back not only to the show but also to the early ‘60s era. The eerie, otherworldly tones of this instrumental theme are unforgettable and the song works like a time capsule for us.
Love Is All Around
Love Is All Around was a strong and women-empowering show where we can see a single woman conquering the world with her success. The theme songs do not fail to convey the message of Love Is All Around. Every time we heard the theme song, we used to vibe with it and enjoy its charming and bubbly nature.
WKRP in Cincinnati
The theme song of WKRP in Cincinnati gives off the exact vibe of a radio show. The theme song was composed by Tom Wells and Hugh Wilson and it was very energetic and sounded perfectly like a radio show introduction song. We couldn’t stop ourselves from listening to this absolutely amazing song.
Gilligan’s Island
Gilligan’s Island had the most vibrant, jaunty, and folk-like tunes, which we still cannot forget. The theme song was composed by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle. Well, the song had an unexplainable charm, which had an impact on us for quite a long time. We will always remember the vibe it brought to us and we just couldn’t stop ourselves from singing along to the tune because it felt so lighthearted and we felt alive singing it.
All in the Family
The show was a hit in itself but we couldn’t get over its theme song, “Those Were the Days,” which was apparently sung by the stars of the show. Yes, Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton sang the song, and Charles Strouse and Lee Adams were the composers, and we still get nostalgic whenever we hear this soulful song. We doubt that we could ever get out of the nostalgia it brings.
The Flintstones
The theme song, Meet the Flintstones of The Flinstones, was fun and just appropriate according to the storyline. The lyrics were perfectly written by the showrunners, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, which we still cannot forget. The song and the lyrics had us hooked with their charm and beautiful melody.
M*A*S*H
M*A*S*H had the most contrasting yet powerful and deep theme song. We couldn’t forget the goosebumps we got when we first listened to “Suicide is Painless.” The show had the perfect blend of comedy and war drama, which kept us hooked and the depth of the theme song brought was impeccable.
Knight Rider
Well, it was the ‘80s TV show, so of course it had to have the spark of that era, which was brought on by an electronic, futuristic theme. This theme song was amazing and no one could ever match the energy it sent. It was just perfect for the show, as it had a high-tech, action-packed premise that perfectly synced with the heavy music in the background.
The X-Files
The X-Files had the most eerie theme song of the decade. But it perfectly suited the show and it worked like magic for the viewers because it gave the perfect amount of haunting and mysterious vibes. If you have watched the show, it was just unforgettable because it had a huge and amazing impact on the audiences of the show. We cannot deny the fact that we not only loved the show but also the theme song.
Friends
We bet you love this song so much. If you have watched Friends and have been a fan of the worldwide popular series, you will be in love with the theme song, “I’ll be there for you.” The theme song refers to the memories of Friends and also our friends, without whom our lives wouldn’t be fun or exciting. The song perfectly portrays how friends are and what deep and connected friendship feels like. It’s been decades since this song made its debut but to date, whenever we listen to it, we cannot stop ourselves from getting into nostalgia.
Cheers
Another sitcom had the best theme songs. “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” was the theme song of Cheers and we cannot deny the warmth we felt after listening to it. It was perfect for the show and us, as it truly conveys the idea of finding a place where you truly belong. No doubt we fell in love with this song and that too over and over again.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy the Vampire Slayer had the most energetic punk-style theme song, which perfectly matched the aura of teenagers. Well, it always gave us horror feels yet teenagers could connect to it and, more importantly, vibe with the theme song. Just like the TV show, the theme song was also made for teenagers and didn’t take long to become a cult favorite. Also, we cannot forget how teenagers love the badass persona, which the show and theme song perfectly inspire.
Breaking Bad
You know how Breaking Bad has this persona of a dark situation, right? So, the theme had to be matched with the same and well, it didn’t disappoint us at all because it was a perfect blend of suspense and moral ambiguity, creating a tension-filled ambiance that we truly loved and it made our experience with Breaking Bad even better.
Stranger Things
As the show is set in the ‘80s, it never failed to give us the same vibe from the ’80s. We cannot describe in words how much we love the show and its amazing, ‘80s-inspired synth-heavy, retro theme song. Well, it perfectly goes with the show, and the supernatural and nostalgic elements it shares are to the point.
The Jeffersons
Well, it feels like the sitcoms never disappointed us because, when The Jeffersons were released, we heard its theme song, “Movin’ On Up,” and we couldn’t resist listening to it on a loop. The song was perfect for the show’s theme. It matched the spirits of The Jeffersons and caught our attention with its upbeat anthem of success. It’s impossible to not love this song and the humor of this series.
