Best TV Show Theme Songs Part 1


simpsons

Often, a TV show's theme song is just as good as its content (and sometimes, it's actually better. Saved By The Bell, anyone?). Yet when listing their all-time favourite songs people rarely mention a show's jingle despite the fact that they're constantly getting stuck in our heads and they may be even more listened to than our favourite album tracks. We've rounded up a list of our favourite TV theme songs as an ode to the often forgotten. Don't worry though, this is just part 1.
