Requested by starlightmoonla. This was hard to narrow down to five. While there are other TV theme songs I really do like, I decided to go with themes that I pretty much never wanted to skip through. These also always got me excited to watch the show. I almost included anime theme songs, but then I'd never be able to narrow this list down to five. This is a list of live action TV themes, but if anyone wants to know the anime list, let me know. :)


5. Star Trek: The Next Generation - Patrick Stewart's opening monologue followed by the marching theme is my favorite of all the Star Trek openings.

4. Doctor Who - 2005 to 2007 version. The orchestrations backing the original '63 theme really brought that something extra without being too cheesy. The latest version that was used for "Voyage of the Damned" crosses into cheese territory.

3. Farscape (Sorry no streaming link. This is Brent Barrett's site. Click "Watch" to download the WMV file.) - I'm probably in the minority in that I like Subvision's version used for S1/S2 more than Guy Gross's adaptation used for S3/S4. There's a wildness that really gets my blood pumping with the original. I also use this theme as my alarm on my cell phone. I wake up to it no problem. :D

2. Angel - I love the rockin' cello in this theme.

1. Highlander - "Princes of the Universe" - It's Queen. Nuff said.
