2008–present Just finishing off the USA Network batch. Anyhow, In Plain Sight is about witness protection. It stars the quite-alright Mary McCormack, who I still associate with The West Wing, and the quite-hot Nichole Hiltz. I’ve seen a couple of this show’s episodes and I never thought it would last three seasons (going on 4). [...]
2009–present Let’s do USA Network shows today. Royal Pains is their take on medical comedy slash drama, because seriously, you’re not a network if you don’t have one. The show has a short, but enough-for-today’s-standards, opening sequence and theme song combo. The song is semi-obviously entitled “Independence”. It was performed by a band from Denmark [...]
2011-present Ah, Sarah Shahi. Fairly Legal is a fairly-new legal drama on the USA Network, and I’m glad it has a proper opening sequence and theme song combination. The song is quite nice actually. It is entitled “The Yellow Brick Road Song” and was performed by Iyeoka Okoawo—a Nigerian-American poet and recording artist. Below is [...]
2010-present I had better get a head start on this. So, Covert Affairs is a new series on the USA Network starring Piper Perabo. Nice. I’m about three episodes in—I started just the other day via suggestion—and yes it does have a theme song and an opening sequence. The sequence, I have to say, looks [...]
2002-2009 I might have a mild case of obsessive–compulsive disorder as well. There have been two theme songs in Monk‘s eight-season run. Season one uses a jazzy instrumental song composed by American composer Jeff Beal, and performed by guitarist Grant Geissman. The song won the 2003 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music. [...]
1997-2001 The 2010 resurrection of La Femme Nikita, simply called Nikita, will star the smoking hot Maggie Q. The theme song for La Femme Nikita is an original. The only piece of information I can share regarding this is that it was composed by renowned television composer, Mark Snow, of The X-Files fame. The theme [...]
2004-2007 I can’t believe this skipped my mind; I used to love this show, and I loved the theme song as well. The theme song for The 4400 is catchy, and quite appropriate for the plot of the show. The lyrics says it all (see below), and it also makes the title quite obvious. The [...]
1985; Also “M.A.S.K. theme song” or Mobile Armored Strike Kommand Hot damn this was the shiznit! IMDb lists series original music by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban, the former being still active to this day, and is known for composing the theme songs of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and X-Men. I do [...]
1991-1999 Silk Stalkings was a crime drama series originally shown on CBS that portrayed the daily lives of two detectives who solved sexual crimes of passion. Sounds exciting. Its theme song was composed by renowned television composer, Mike Post, which garnered it a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music [...]
I understand this show has gone through a couple of theme songs and promo songs over its 3-season run but the one that seems to stick in people’s minds is “Everybody Wants You” by Billie Squier from his album Emotions in Motion. I admit, I’m just basing this on research, as I have not watched [...]
