This list comprises some of the most memorable compositions which are instrumental only a few had lyrics but were not sung as part of the introduction to the program. There are so many great themes that it was hard to choose which ones should make the list so many in fact, that we’ve divided it into two. And just a few chords from “M*A*S*H” or “Murder, She Wrote” bring back sweet memories of my long-deceased mother, and how we enjoyed watching these series together. A big, dramatic score reminds me of the glory days of the nighttime soaps, and the anticipation over the “Who shot J.R.?” storyline. A funky disco-infused number with guns firing take me back to my elementary school days, and three female private detectives who I thought were the coolest women who ever lived. If you have memories of sitting barefoot in front of the television after a hard day of play, or staying home sick from school and snuggling on the couch with a favorite program playing, or gossiping with friends about the “I can’t believe that happened!” moment on a popular series, then it is likely that a familiar tune will take you back to one of those moments in time.
How does a short bit of music snake its way into our memories, and become a great theme song? These are just a few of the iconic scores from television series that have become ingrained in our popular culture.
