Perfect Strangers

Follow Balki, a Mediterranean immigrant with a rockin' mullet coming to the great city of Chicago to piss off his distant cousin. Is there any other way to introduce it other than a killer, heartfelt ballad? 1986 didn't think so.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

If you don't know this word for word then start watching TBS in the mornings already... If you go to work and can't watch TBS in the mornings, good for you... but DVR it...

The Big Bang Theory

Here's a new one from one of CBS's new programs, and it's a contender! When good intros these days seemed to be dwindling, this one jumped right back in the game.

Doctor Who

I read on a list earlier this year that this is the best sci-fi theme song of all time. I 100% agree. When you think of this show, you think of this theme and how pumped you are that you're the main character in this show, er, that you, um, wish you were the main character in this show...

Saved by the Bell

If you grew up in the 90's and you don't know this ballad by heart, then there's something a little wrong with you...

Three's Company

I never watched this show, but if you were to put this song on iTunes, it might be worth my 99 cents.

Cheers

C'mon, how truthful is this well known intro? It's like, yeah, obviously I want to go where everyone knows my name, and they're always glad I came... Yeah, I could get into that... Ok, I'll watch it...

Melrose Place

I feel like this theme song was a little underrated, and it hasn't been recreated for the 2009 remake... That's disappointing... Similar to the 90210 theme song, it rocks you with that guitar riff!! You know it does!!

Beverly Hills, 90210

Who is that? Jimi Hendrix on that axe? Stevie Ray Vaughn? Slash? C.C. Deville? Van Halen? Who is putting out that sweet sweet sound?
