I was born in the late 2000s, but in my country, most of the old 80s/90s cartoons were dubbed in the early 2000s. So I had the chance of watching Thomas the Tank Engine. Series 4 and 5 are my favorite!
Not seeing the Peaky Blinders theme ( Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) truly shocked me, that song is so mysterious and expertly written music wise and lyrics wise
I know this is about the music, but Game of Thrones has the best intro sequence of any TV show, and it isn't even close. The damn thing changes depending on what is in the episode, that is impressive.
Underrated Theme Songs that didn’t make the list: Top Gear and The Grand Tour. The original rendition of Jessica used throughout the era of Clarkson, Hammond and May on TG was iconic, and the theme song on their current show, The Grand Tour, is equally as good in my opinion.

Oh man, Im getting soo many happy memories about my childhood again! Always enjoyed watching Southpark, Friends, Scooby Doo, Pokémon, Flinstones, Fresh Prince and Family Guy. I did miss Totally Spies’ themesong here.
I can’t believe no one has mentioned The Bob Newhart Show, or the greatest theme song of all time, Rawhide, sung by the great Frankie Laine. But then, I’m old.

Dexter should be in the top 10 at least. Making a morning routine of a guy so intimidating with the close shots, perfectly timed jump cuts. Man that intro is a masterpiece
I probably wasn't thinking, you're right they should have been included. It's just very difficult to only include 50 themes, but I definitely missed some good theme songs

99% of cartoons from the NA and Asia will always have better theme songs than almost every live action tv show, more than half of these songs sound the exact same
Some of these shows I've never heard of. I can not accept this. 😉 No "Andy Griffith", "Gilligan's island" (which was the first show to ever have a ballad, btw), "Beverly Hillbillies", "William Tell Overture" (That's the theme to the "Lone Ranger", btw), "The Pink Panther", "The Brady Bunch", "Jonny Quest", "JEOPARDY", "Full House", "Mr. Ed"... * But I do agree with your #1. (That's my ringtone, btw.) 😎
Why are other great TV theme songs like those from the A-Team, Knight Rider, McGyver, Wonder Woman, Brady Bunch, Sesame Street, Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes, Star Trek, etc. missing from this list?
My top 10 1. Fresh prince of bel air 2. Kenan and kel 3. The A team 4. Smallville 5. Sorpranos 6. Whats new scooby doo 7. Drake & josh 8. Charmed 9. Ben 10 (2005) 10. Friends
Never seen the show and never heard the theme tune, and I watch a lot of TV. I think Americans forget Seinfeld wasn’t much of a hit outside the US. Even in the US it wasn’t as big as later sitcoms.

If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, the original Thomas the Tank Engine theme will NEVER leave your head. EVER.

That show and the music is one of the worst things to come out of England.

I can't take this list seriously if Gravity Falls isn't even in the top 50

Oh, your a gravity falls fan, aight I’m done with this comment section
@@kkappy do you have a problem with Gravity Falls?
Came to comment it and saw you did it for me

Breaking bad and House themes are top quality in the middle of chaos.
the ending scene in Granite State 🔥
Breaking Bad's theme is kinda lame. Excellent tv show but the intro isn't special
The Sopranos what a show ,what a theme 🔥🔥
That 70s Show will always have my heart 💕💕
It wasn’t even on here bro trash ahh list
X-files is the probably the best theme song of the 20th century. Still gives me goosebumps.
W h I can get the boys to get you some stuff and stuff to get the
Pretty wrong
wrong lmao
I know this is about the music, but Game of Thrones has the best intro sequence of any TV show, and it isn't even close. The damn thing changes depending on what is in the episode, that is impressive.
I’m not a Seinfeld fan, but in the same vein - the song was recorded live every single episode so it’s always a little different.
No it doesn't. You're lying
Game of Thrones has easily the best soundtrack ever. And the music in the intro is absolutely insanely good and timeless.@@Shockkings0714
Bojack horseman did something very similar
@@Shockkings0714 hey buddy, dont skip the intro in season 8 and you'll see what hes talking about
The Munsters, Dallas, Miami Vice, Space 1999, Benny Hill, Battlestar Galactica, Poirot, The A Team, Star Blazers.
Hearing Two and a Half men was a trip bro
Fr
The A-Team, Airwolf, Quantum Leap, Thundercats, L.A. Law, Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere, Taxi, and the Love Boat should be on this list too.
Macgyver!
Taxi!
What about The Twilight Zone?
Where is Miami Vice, Magnum PI, Street Hawk, Knight Rider.
Night Court anyone?
Underrated Theme Songs that didn’t make the list: Top Gear and The Grand Tour. The original rendition of Jessica used throughout the era of Clarkson, Hammond and May on TG was iconic, and the theme song on their current show, The Grand Tour, is equally as good in my opinion.
Add Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D to that list and it's complete.
Ninjago
Ninjago theme song too.
No Munsters , Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke, Soap, Family, Eight is Enough, What's Happening, Julia, I Dream of Jeannie, Partridge Family, Car 54 Where Are You?, Mr. Ed, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Twilight Zone, Magilla Gorilla, Speed Racer, Kimba the White Lion, Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Adventures of Superman, Baretta, My Three Sons & many others.

Brooklyn 99
No Baywatch!
Ninjago
gilligan island
I see all these old sitcoms being mentioned but not one person mentioning the best one:
YOURE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW YOURE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW
🎉 retro TV greetings from coastal Mississippi. I have been watching TV since 1969.❤😂
Can't believe you didn't include the Twin Peaks theme. It's just iconic!
Dude accept subjective opinion
Succession really SHOULD be there, what a theme. Nice list!
DuckTales is my favourite
It’s clearly a Hall & Oates song lol
It's a crime that Futurama not even King of the Hill or American Dad are on this list. Futurama theme was awesome.
i love how it basically went from sweet old ducktales, to literal breaking bad.
Dallas? Brady Bunch? Gilligans Island? Taxi? Peter Gunn? Bonanza? Come on!!
Heck yeah, Peter Gunn. Also, Rawhide.
Absolutely I don't agree with that list either 😵💫 was it chosen by A.I.
1.GOT
2.The X-Files
3.TWD
4.Narcos
5.The Sopranos
All perfect except I would put Westworld instead of Narcos
Cool to see narcos getting some recognition
agreed
@@filippoferrari7176 Ramin Djawadi doesn't miss 💥
Gravity Falls, NCIS, Law & Order, Marvel The Punisher
I'm with ya about "Law & Order". That's the best theme IMHO.
Doesn't it make you wonder about all the things you've missed?
like wallace and grommit
Like Magic school bus,jimmy neutron, king of the hill, and weird science
If you missed Daredevil then you must watch it immediately
Peaky Blinders deserves a spot, nothing is more iconic than that metal bang to start each episode
Top 3 show but game of thrones is one for me
Finally my favourite show The Office is on here.
So glad Doctor Who is on this list
Three's Company one of the best themes and shows ever have you ever heard of it
Criminal that they didn’t have Three’s Company on the list
Mission impossible is on another level.
Fun list! Thanks for putting together!
How about Star Trek, The Courtship of Eddies Father, Perry Mason, The A Team, My Three Sons, Leave It To Beaver, The Green Hornet, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Welcome Back Kotter, The Rifleman, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
I feel like Ninjago should’ve made the list as most nostalgic theme song. (Jump up, kick back, whip around, and spin!)
So many good songs from the '70s through the '90s. Many shows in the 2000s and 2010s no longer have lyrics (someone singing), just music playing
Scooby Doo number one???
This is a good list.
Chips, Three's Company, Munsters, Dukes of Hazzard just to name a few that should be on this list
Stranger thing is my favourite
Sinner! GOT theme cannot be cut
True detective is definitely my favorite
30 rock and unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is definitely some of my faves!
30 Rock’s theme and soundtrack are AMAZING
Xfiles, curb your enthusiasm and Seinfeld and Cheers and Stranger Things need to be in the top 5
I knowwwww
Oh man, Im getting soo many happy memories about my childhood again! Always enjoyed watching Southpark, Friends, Scooby Doo, Pokémon, Flinstones, Fresh Prince and Family Guy. I did miss Totally Spies’ themesong here.
The Futurama theme is the best as far as I’m concerned
Gravity falls isn’t on here
Th Big Bang theory and how I met your mother tho such a great show honestly
Twin Peaks literally deserves to be on here, THE THEME SONG LEGIT WON A GRAMMY
I can’t believe no one has mentioned The Bob Newhart Show, or the greatest theme song of all time, Rawhide, sung by the great Frankie Laine. But then, I’m old.

Bojack Horseman?
I would've thought, The Brady Bunch, Sesame Street, and Gilligan's Island would be on here.
When Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra do a television show theme song you know it’s serious. And connected to exactly what Ye was talking about
"In The Heat Of The Night" is a great one too
Whoever made this list is ridiculous 6 out of the top 50 should be in the top 20
Vikings, Sons of Anarchy, Hannibal, The Punisher...
Sorely missing from the list: Star Trek (TOS), Kolchak the Night Stalker, The Mod Squad, and Space: 1999.

1.Pokemon (Season 1)
The fact that Psych isn't on the list is criminal
Dexter should be in the top 10 at least. Making a morning routine of a guy so intimidating with the close shots, perfectly timed jump cuts. Man that intro is a masterpiece
The intro, sure - but this is for the theme song.
Ducktales should've been number one on this list.
It's an absolute banger
Game of thrones easily takes the king tbh
Goofy theme song
That’s how I feel about chip n sales rescue rangers
game of thrones opening music will always be epic
True
"Gilligan's Island"? "Star Trek: (TOS)? What were you thinking?
I probably wasn't thinking, you're right they should have been included. It's just very difficult to only include 50 themes, but I definitely missed some good theme songs
If Southpark is only 23rd and gravity falls is not on here i give up on life
Seinfeld was at 50? Wow. What is going on with this list. That's a top 20 theme for sure.
No law and order?
Agreed. "Law & Order" should be here IMHO.
Knight Rider, Magnum, and Narcos should be on the list.
Mash at 29 is a war crime.
how do you miss the GOAT Thomas The Tank Engine?
EXACTLY.
where is Tuyo - Narcos?
Crime Story (Runaway) and Tropical Heat (Anyway the Wind Blows)
The Garfield show intro deserves a place on this list

Actually, I need to add one thing: where is The Wonder Years theme song? That’s about as iconic as it gets.
Viva La Bam is another one.
I know, I was thinking that, too. Great show, great theme song that still occasionally gets stuck in my head
SEINFIELD THE BEST
Why is it number 50
The Office THE BEST
The Wire and Better Call Saul?
Seinfeld #50??!!! Blasphemy! Greatest show of all time, and top 10 theme. Everyone knows that base line!
Never seen the show and never heard the theme tune, and I watch a lot of TV. I think Americans forget Seinfeld wasn’t much of a hit outside the US. Even in the US it wasn’t as big as later sitcoms.
I was surprised to see The Walking Dead on this list
You just know this list was made by someone in their 60s.
