Reading the Ja'net thread theme songs were brought up. So I thought I'd ask LG.
What's your favorite theme song? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Breaking Bad is the best since it's short and good. For a longer one I like Game of Thrones. Justified was good too.
Not songs though . . . _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Justified counts, no?
You're right! I had the music in my head!
I'd say that Peaky Blinders "Red Right Hand" is the winner though. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Need to distinguish between instrumentals and songs. If we're talking strictly theme songs, with words, then it's a close race between the Jeffersons and the Beverly Hillbillies.
Instrumentals I'd go with Sanford & Sons, Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, or Taxi.
Oh wait...there's The Newhart theme too. The one in Vermont. So good. _________________ Not a legend

^^^^Good point...Sanford and Son has to be high on the instrumental list _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

There's a cool story behind that one. When Steven Bochco was talking to the composer Mike Post about doing it, Steven said he wanted it to be all drums. Mike Post thought he was nuts and said you can't do that, but Bochco was adamant. So Mike left the meeting thinking how the "eff am I gonna do that?" . . . then he heard a subway train banging through a station and had the "AHA!" moment that became the theme. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Always put Bochco in the same category as Michael Mann, guys who had an uncanny ability to understand subtle things like hue and sounds that gave their works such distinct flavor _________________ “We must always take sides.
