We all have our favourite TV shows but we also have our favourite theme tunes for those series. The theme tune defines everything that is going to happen for the rest of the episode, it manages to sum up the characters and the rest of the show. Here are 22 of our favourites…
1. Friends
Obviously top of the list, Friends had one of the greatest theme tunes in existence. Everyone still loves that intro.
2. Cheers
Another favourite of basically everyone who has ever watched TV, Cheers is certainly one of the best.
3. Frasier
It’s not really about the intro here, it’s more about the outro, but it’s still a really good one.
4. Happy Days
Because it’s Happy Days? HAPPY!
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
We dare you not to head bang along to this.
6. Angel
Moody. Just incredibly moody.
7. Dowton Abbey
It’s that beautiful piano intro, just perfect.
8. Game of Thrones
If you’re looking to give a boost of epicness to your day, this is the theme tune to listen to. Be warned though, you may feel like grabbing a sword and going into battle afterwards!
9. Saved by the Bell
Hello nostalgia!
10. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
If you don’t know the rap to this, you were deprived as a child.
11. The Sopranos
Woke up this morning, got yourself a gun.
12. The Wire
A different singer for every series, The Wire really summed up its entire season with its differing intros.
13. Sesame Street
Just pure joy! JOY!
14. Only Fools and Horses
Another classic for all ages.
15. The A-Team
Basically play this whenever you need a slight lift.
16. Animaniacs
If you can still sing all the lyrics, we will give you a euro.
17. Mission: Impossible
Tom who?
18. Looney Toons
One of the originals and best.
19. Star Trek
Ok, we’ll admit it. This is one of our favourites.
20. The Simpsons
Danny Elfman, you are a champion.
21. The Muppet Show
It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights.
22. The OC
Oh, how could we leave you without this one?
