- ‘WandaVision’ Several shows on this list changed their theme songs over the years. WandaVision changed its theme song for every episode — twice in one episode, in fact!
- ‘Terriers’ Some theme songs wind up long outliving the show they were in, like Harry Nillson’s “Best Friend” from The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. Sometimes, though, a great song gets doomed to obscurity right along with the short-lived show it introduced.
- ‘Three’s Company’ The Boogie Nights of sitcom themes. Three’s Company is the hijinks of three swingin’ singles sharing a 1970s Santa Monica, California, party pad: John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, and Suzanne Somers.
- ‘Rescue Me’ The Denis Leary firefighter drama needed intro music to match the anguished pain of its FDNY characters in the aftermath of 9/11. Enter garage rockers the Von Bondies, whose “C’mon, C’mon” was the exact kind of furious howl the series needed.

- Cheers (1982-1993) “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” Created by: Gary Portnoy, Judy Hart-Angelo. Fun fact: The original opening line of the Cheers theme song was “Singin’ the blues when the Red Sox lose/ It’s a crisis in your life” — an apt sentiment for the iconic Boston-set sitcom, yet one that’s not quite as universal as the final version: “Makin’ your way in the world today/ Takes everything you’ve got/ Takin’ a break from all your worries/ Sure would help a lot.”
- Game of Thrones (2011-2019) “Main Title” Created by: Ramin Djawadi. It’s hard to think of a TV fantasy series theme tune that’s more instantly iconic or recognizable than Ramin Djawadi’s galloping, cyclical fanfare for Game of Thrones — which makes it shocking to discover that it was overlooked by the Emmys during the show’s eight-season run.
- The Jeffersons (1975-1985) “Movin’ On Up” Created by: Ja’Net DuBois, Jeff Barry. Perhaps the greatest “feel-good” TV theme song of all time, “Movin’ On Up” is an anthem for anyone who’s made it in this world.
- Mission: Impossible (1966-1973) “Theme from Mission: Impossible” Created by: Lalo Schifrin. Argentine composer Lalo Schifrin originally wanted to call this “Burning Fuse” and holy hell can you understand why.
Mar 11, 2019 · Raymond Burr headlined two much-loved dramas with highly regarded theme songs. Legal drama Perry Mason ’s theme had a jazzy swagger that befitted the character borne from Erle Stanley Gardner’s detective stories (some of which ran in The Saturday Evening Post).
