Sorry, RS... But unless I missed it, this one program belongs at the top of my list. These are my reasons for my number one choice.

Rolling Stone: Our most sincere apologies for the TV theme songs you’ll lodge into your heads. Or perhaps we accept your thanks?

TV theme songs are crucial to the media experience. The best ones put you in the right mindset to watch each episode and can be just as entertaining in their own right as an interesting monologue, or an action sequence. So we’ve decided to pick the 100 best theme songs of all time.

This massive list of songs is from throughout the entire long history of TV. We then pared that down by looking for diversity in terms of style of music, style of the show, and era. (Honestly, the entire 100 could have been made up of performances from the Seventies. Apologies to The White Shadow, What’s Happening and many more that did not make the final list.) Some were written expressly for that show, while others were pre-existing songs given new life through their association with a particular series.
