Like I would forget about the original… NCIS or “Naval Criminal Investigative Service” features a lot of techo/digital music. The theme song is created by Numeriklab. I am uncertain if Numeriklab is someone, or a duo, or a group, I just know that they create music using digital stuff and DJ stuff. The theme song [...]
Now, for something that stars LL Cool J—washed out rapper turned walking tree trunk—it would only make sense that he would lend his skills in making a kick-ass theme song. Just kidding about the “washed out” though, I do know he is a staple in the world of hip hop. The theme song for NCIS: [...]
This is barely even a song, let along a theme song, but for the sake of archiving, I have the full, albeit short opening sequence of Breaking Bad below. It is this Western-themed play on bongos and a steel guitar that accompanies the revealing of the logo. No music credits yet are available, so for [...]
Gotta love Sons of Anarchy… Sons of Anarchy has had a lot of cool, notable songs since its conception in 2008. However, the main theme song in question is “This Life,” credited to a group called Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers. Although Curtis Stigers is a known musician, I have no information as to [...]
Yes, well, The Good Wife barely has a theme song, as it only has about ten seconds worth of opening credits backed by a simple synthesizer-based tune. Anyway, I would go out on a limb here and say that that song was created by Danny Lux. IMDb credits all of The Good Wife‘s music to [...]
I’m just finishing all David E. Kelley shows—and Ally McBeal should have been one of the first posts. The theme song for Ally McBeal is Vonda Shepard’s “Searchin’ My Soul.” It was originally part of the album The Radical Light (1992), but was not released as a commercial single. In the album, the song is [...]
First, a brief history… Shaft started out as a 1971 film directed by Gordon Parks. It revolves around the life of private detective John Shaft—portrayed by Richard Roundtree—as he travels and battles thorugh Harlem and the Italian mob neighborhoods. After the film, a series of television movies of the the same name were made and [...]
Surprisingly, The Nanny had two theme songs. One was used for the pilot episode only; it was “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” which was performed by Gwen Verdon—one of Broadway’s biggest starts in its “golden” era. The second and more popular theme song, which was used in the remainder of the series, is [...]
Boston Public was yet another David E. Kelley creation. I remember watching this show because of two reasons—it was “strategically” placed between Monday sitcoms, and, it had hot babes—Jessalyn Gilsig, Jeri Ryan, and for a brief period, Michelle Monaghan. So I watched it anyway, and, I have to admit, it was good. The theme song [...]
The Practice was another David E. Kelley creation, that ran in ABC from 1997 to 2004. Its theme song, although not that apt and memorable, was composed by a world-renowned composer—Jon Hassell (along with Pete Scaturro), and was this electronic drum, bass, percussion, sound effects-styled song that ran for about 45 seconds during the opening.
