22. Bewitched
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1ilRgNsYoA A classic theme tune to a classic TV show. Unfortunately, being young (I was born in the 90's), I never got around to seeing this show save for a few repeats much later than their original airing but like every human being in the western world I am very familiar with this tune (though often get it confused with I Dream Of Genie). Having said all this,I did see the film version a couple of years back and though I am aware how critically panned that film really was, I honestly though it was alright. Maybe it is because I am such of Will Ferrell, Nicole Kidman and Kristen Chenoweth... but I personally like the angle they took with the film- then again I didn't watch the show so maybe I am not the right person to judge. Still, this one of the oldest shows to feature on this list and you would have a difficult task finding a more charming theme tune than this. 21. The Addams Family
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YFk4b6yeX4 I have never seen this series from 1964-1966 but I am a massive fan of the characters and absolutely love the films from the 1990's. Everyone knows this theme tune but I bet very few people have actually seen this version of the show. This theme tune is practically another character on the show, and as the remakes proved, you couldn't reboot this family without keeping this classic tune in tact, and it would be a mistake for the people that would dare try. Just like the lyrics say when describing this tune "they're creepy and they're kooky"... so too is this wonderfully weird tune. A must on any TV theme tune list.
