I know TV shows don't do this much anymore, but there used to be something very important about having good music during the opening credits of Prime Time TV. These songs became easily recognizable many, many years later and undoubtedly contributed to their success.

Do you have any favorites? I have a bunch, but I'll keep it brief.

I don't understand how people can even watch that show. 10mins of it made me want to shoot myself.

I have never watched it and I won't. At the end of the show I'd be trying to figure out how to get my 30 minutes back.

Might rider theme is epic, no abuse of the word.

One not listed is the office (US version)
I wouldn't put it on my ipod... but its a pretty catchy little original theme.

Knight Rider(new and old)
Psych
Monk
The Office
Parks and Recreation
