Top television theme tunes

The composer of the Succession theme tune got a shout out in that thread - Nicholas Britell, who also scored the wonderful If Beale Street Could Talk.



Not sure I agree with bimble that it's the best television theme ever, but it's certainly up there.

Made me think the subject of television themes deserves a thread of its own, there doesn't seem to be one. When I searched, there was an RIP thread for the Composer of Grange Hill and Countdown.

That means you've not listened to it on a good enough sound system. But yeah can't think of anything to match it, it's not just great music in itself it has the feeling of the loping juggernaut that is the family / extreme wealth, loping along unsteady off kilter and destructive (plus proper use of violins which is rare).

 

[Storm Fox]

Always fun

I have done a search, so forgive me if it's a repeated thread. I've been watching Morse yet again, and when I was a kid one of the things that really drew me in was the music, part of that being the theme tune. Same with the X-Files. Hawaii-Five-O is a mediocre series in both incarnations...

Mine has to be the theme from Cheers :cool: Kind of reassuring and just all round great... "Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, Your troubles are all the same You wanna be...

Yeah, soz, I stupidly and quickly only searched for television theme tunes, didn't check TV or telly, D'Oh!

I posted and started the thread and clicked to see a reply then saw underneath that there were some 'Similar threads' listed. I'd thought it was weird that there wasn't one already.

Anyways, recently I really liked the odd yet beguiling theme for The White Lotus:

 

[T & P]

I often find myself whistling this, even though it must easily be 25+ years since I watched an episode. Very catchy
