25 Greatest TV Theme Tunes Of All Time

By Daniel Bowen /

1. Cheers

Of course Cheers was going to be number 1 in this list. I have never even watched the show, except for maybe the occasional episode here and there, but this warming and actually slightly depressing theme song gets me all nostalgic about a show that I couldn't possibly get nostalgic about... and that goes to show the power this song has. Even though I think it is probably too late to get into this classic sit-com because I bet the humor and the production values will hardly hold up to todays standards, this song makes me wish I had been of the right age to watch this show in it's original run. It is a great testament to this show and it's theme that despite I was never really of the right age to watch this, I even have this theme tune on my I-pod and can sing along to most of the words. One thing is for certain... I wanna be where everybody knows my name. Disagree with the order of this list? Think I excluded some pretty iconic TV theme tunes? Think any more recent television theme songs needed to be recognized in this list? Please, inform me of all of this in the comments section...
