The Price Is Right Theme Song

1972–present “Come on down!” Hey wait a minute, did you know that the super original The Price Is Right was not the one hosted by Bob Barker? That’s right, the first The Price Is Right aired between 1956 and 1965, and was hosted by Bill Cullen. So, the official hosts are: Bill Cullen, Bob Barker, [...]

Mary Tyler Moore Theme Song

1970–1977; also, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song” The Mary Tyler Moore Show starred, well, Mary Tyler Moore as Mary Richards. It was an American sitcom created by James L. Brooks (The Simpsons), and Allan Burns. Let’s just say this show is an acclaimed, award-winning show—especially because it featured a strong, never-married career woman [...]

The Pink Panther Theme Song

“taran, taran…taran…” First, and once again, let’s get our facts straight. The Pink Panther is a series of comedy films.

Since then there had been 11 Pink Panther movies made, with the last two starring Steve Martin as French police detective [...]

Wonder Woman Theme Song

1975–1979 Ah, Lynda Carter at her finest. First, let’s get all our facts straight. The Wonder Woman television series lasted 3 seasons. Its first season was in ABC in 1975.

How It’s Made Theme Song

1999-present The Discovery Channel rules, and so does this show. Good thing I stumble upon How It’s Made earlier as it reminded me to update this blog. The theme song, used in the opening and closing credits, is really “jammy” and fun. I still have no official information regarding the theme song, but don’t worry, [...]

Harry Potter Theme Song

Yes, there are 8 official soundtracks, 1 for each film. There are seven books, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, the last book, is [...]
