2010-present Here’s yet another AMC original. They may not have much shows but their current lineup have some of the best theme songs and openings. Original music for the series is credited to composer Peter Nashel. He is part of the duotone Audio Group from the U.S. Aside from Rubicon he has also created for [...]

2010-present This is quite a show, huh? Add to that, Sarah Wayne Callies! I saw two MP3-download albums slash semi-soundtracks for the television series—both released December last year. Check them out: album one, album two. Both include the theme song, credited as “The Walking Dead Main Title”, in a number of remixes. The first album [...]

1983 Revisiting this series made me surprised with two things: first that it only lasted one season (and only 8 episodes were made), and second that I remember it so clearly. I guess canceled shows back then meant more without media distraction from the internet. The reason I got to posting about this weird-choice-of-a-show’s theme [...]

1994 “Hello, my name is Forrest, Forrest Gump.” Classic, and yes, I like that better than the chocolates quote. The 90s sure had a lot of good movies. You know, back in my day, cool were those who could play this theme song on the piano. The memorable theme from Forrest Gump was composed by [...]

2003-present I love this show. Actually, I love these kinds of shows. From where I’m from, at least, this is shown on Discovery Turbo, and in all honesty, I can watch that channel for 24 hours straight. The show features cool bass-centered electronic music for its scores. As for the opening theme, as far as [...]

1992–1995 This is not for the Ewan McGregor film. This is for the way-cooler 1990s kids television series. Although, where are they all now? With that out of the way, the theme from Ghostwriter, although barely a song (just simple background music), was still quite catchy and memorable—especially for that timely “Ghostwriter!” line after each [...]

1997–2001 This is one of those songs that’s annoying at first. Actually, you know what, let me just describe it as brilliantly annoying. The song in question was performed by the alternative band Splendora. Sound familiar? I didn’t think so either, and that’s because the Daria theme song is their only claim to fame. The [...]

1999–2006 This series is still quite recent, and well, I do not quite have anything to say about this series, so let us proceed. We all know this is an outstanding theme song. For one it was composed by W.G. Snuffy Walden, whom we already came across with in the themes of Roseanne, Hawthorne, and [...]

1978–1986; also the “Different Strokes theme song” R.I.P Gary Coleman 1968-2010 and Dana Plato 1964-1999. Wonder what Gary Coleman looked like in his latter years? Surely he was still small. Here is a photo of him taken in 2007, when he was 40 years old. Phew, what a curse. Anyway, theme song for Diff’rent Strokes [...]

1991–1995 So, where is Mayim Bialik these days? Actually, I do know because I watch The Big Bang Theory. The theme song for Blossom, that 1990s NBC sitcom about a motherless family, is entitled “My Opinionation”. It was written by composers Mike Post and Steve Geyer, and was performed by American musician Dr. John. Yes, [...]
