Here are my five favourite TV theme songs.
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer – yeah, yeah, yeah it sounds a bit like The Offspring who cares. This theme IS my teenage years. And to be honest, my adult years. And this is an intro you never skip.
4. The Sweeney – a great man introduced me to this TV programme (long before out-of-breath Ray Winstone embarrassed himself) – my grandad. A police show concentrating on the tough-nut Flying Squad – it had a really fun intro.
3. Doctor Who – no explanation necessary. Though I will tell you this was my ringtone for quite a few years!
2. True Blood – the only thing sexier than Eric Northman is the show’s theme song Bad Things – sung by Jace Everett. I listen to this when I’m cleaning my bathroom (morale).
1. Fireball XL5 – this was a children’s science fiction series, made in the 1960s. And I just love its slushy, cute little theme song!
great choices, i woulda included Friends, Cheers, Family Ties and The Brady Bunch
Thanks Rob, and great choices from you too!!!
Inspired choices! I especially love Buffy and Dr. Who☺️ The TV series Charmed had a great theme song too. Oh jeez. Now I have Buffy stuck in my head😱
I do too! “dern…dern dern dernnnnn” haha! Thanks Kims ❤
I know the Doctor Who theme has changed ever-so-slightly over the years but I do think the original is best!
I'll have to look up the Charmed theme, I can't quite remember it!!!!
I had a Buffy dream last night Ems! And Spike was in it, and Angel. It was awesome!😃
You saucy stick!!!!!!! ❤ Spike AND Angel hmmmm!!!!!! Sounds rather delicious!
I must admit I had a ridiculous crush on Spike when I was younger.
When I was younger? Who am I kidding…..!
See! I am a shameless hussy! Love Spike/James Marsden 🙂
Mmmmmmm! I loved Spike, I kind of preferred him in the earlier seasons when he was a baddie with a good sense of humour but there were some pretty emotional episodes with him in the later seasons (“I may be a monster…but you treat me like a man” – that always had me in tears!!!)
I loved Angel but he didn’t have as much sex appeal for me. I did like him though!
No-one ever really mentions Riley lol. I did like the guy though, I felt sorry for him in the end.
Shameless hussy!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ Saucy Stick!!!
I don’t know why but Riley always reminded me of Action Man.
I can completely understand that! He was a bit of a stiff wasn’t he and Action Man is a perfect name for him. I did like Riley though, I always felt he was a decent guy who was mugged off a bit. Yeah he was boring but he was decent!
Glad you agree, he just seemed to be the normal guy for Buffy to date. And he always had an excuse to remove his shirt!
Haha, he did!! And I suppose he was a bit rigid because he did work with the army. He was a nice bloke though!
I don’t know why but you using the word rigid to describe him made me laugh.
LOL! I think I know why! Glad I made you laugh though 🙂
You always make me laugh Emma.
Yay!
Have you checked out Eric and my joint post on his site, saucy stuff.
I definitely liked bad boy Spike much better! He had the best one liners😏 Do you get Bones Ems? David Boreanz is awesome in it!
He did didn’t he!! Plus that English accent, it just worked 🙂
I have actually seen Bones a couple of times!!!! Guess where I was? Florida! Haha. I think we must get it though as my friend watches it, maybe I should get a season!!! I liked David Boreanz (hee hee!) in it and I thought the lady character Bones was cool too!
I wish he’d star in another show. I think you would love Bones, Ems! The Squints!
Oh! And the theme for Bones is pretty cool too!
You’ve got great taste, I love Charmed so much.
Thank God for Netflix!
I’ve got them all on DVD and plan on watching them again very soon.
I think I need to do a Buffython and Charmedathon soon as well!
That sounds great, I reviewed every Buffy season on my blog a while back. I think you’d find my reviews of them interesting.
Thanks Vinnie☺️ I’ll go check them out!
Cheers, you can find them in my review index.
I wish I lived next door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤
I so wish we lived next too each other! Imagine the trouble we could get into! 🙂
It would be never ending! We’d be laughing all day I think and never get anything practical done 🙂 (sounds brilliant actually!)
I wish we did ❤
Sigh. We’d be like Thelma and Louise! Only without driving off a cliff😱
Lol!!!!! No we wouldn’t! They should have listened to Harvey Keitel, we would have done!!
Erm…….and what about the Brad Pitt situation…? I mean I’m pretty sure I have nothing worth stealing anyway….maybe we should risk it and let him stay with us?!!!!!!!
I could be Brad Pitt and move in.
Do you have a cowboy hat?????
Yes as a matter of fact I do.
yee ha!
Fan of the cow boy look are we Emma?
Three times I have been, yes 🙂
Ooh, sounds sexy.
Absolutely! I think we should definitely keep Brad!😏
Phew! Me too! Sod the money! Lol.
Right! Who needs money? Oh wait! We do! LOL! We should have both 🙂
Both is good!!! 🙂
Brad + $$$$ + cowboy hat = Yippiekayay!!!!
One! What about the theme song from Smallville? Loved that!
Emma said it would be OK if I moved in because I own a cowboy hat.
Absolutely Vinnie! You are the founder of PALS after all!😊😊😊
Woo Hoo, and Brad Pitt does have quite a shapely ass.
He’s in my top ten list!
I’m guessing Matt Bomer takes the number one slot.
You know me well☺️
He does have a peach of an ass, so it would seem to be the natural top one for you.
I loved that Veronica Mars used the Dandy Warhols, still love them.
I never watched it! 😦
BUT I did used to looooove the song – Not If You Were the Last Junky On Earth 🙂
I never thought about playing Bad Things while I clean the bathroom. I might just do that 😉
Haha! I always listen to Spotify when I’m cleaning, just to make it more fun (!)
Bad Things came on when I was standing in the bath cleaning the shower screen – I was doing sultry dance moves whilst I had a bottle of Jif in my hand and a sponge, wearing rubber gloves and my ‘old slippers that don’t matter if I get bleach on them’.
It was AMAZING! Hahahahaha 🙂
Doctor Who!!!!!
Love Pen!!!

Once my friend skipped over the Buffy opening, when we were watching this. I don’t think I have seen him since.
I would also like to add ‘Game of Thrones’ to this list. The chills are getting are unbelievable. Castle also has a special place in my heart. It is a show about murder, yet opens with this pleasant whistling jingle. Strange, but it sticks in the mind.
Skipping over the Buffy opening is major sacrilege.
I like the sound of that! It sounds out of place in a show about murder, but that could make it even creepier.
I have yet to watch Game of Thrones!! I know I’m slow but I will get round to it. I have heard the theme is marvellous though. Mind you, isn’t everything about it marvellous?!
Quite understandable about your “friend” who skipped the Buffy opener – I assume he/she is chained up somewhere now, isolated in disgrace?
Thanks Luke!
Yup. Chained up with the infidels who haven’t watched Game of Thrones yet.
Hahaha! I know Game of Thrones is popular but……infidels!!!!!! 🙂
Oh shit I think they’re coming for me!
Nice list my list would include the sister show of Buffy, Angel
Firefly
i can’t ignore Cheers
I like Kingdom Hospital
Even though i am not a big friends fan i did love the song
Do you know what, Cheers would be in my top 10 – definitely 🙂
Angel and Firefly are both great too! (we love Joss Whedon!!!!)
I’m not sure about Kingdom Hospital but I do remember you speaking of it before.
I know what you mean about the Friends song lol – it is a classic.
i used to have Angel theme as my ringtone on the original nokia 3310 lol
You are a legend Dazza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤
I'm checking our your car posts now 🙂
Buffy rocks and that theme tune is just the best.
Music to my ears!!!
I’ve always loved supernatural tv. I actually reviewed the entire run of Buffy on my blog a while back, thought you’d be interested.
SWEET!!!!! I will read that Vinnie, I’m a huge Buffy fan. I got the DVD box set before box sets were even cool man!
I will read your post of course, but favourite series? Character?
🙂
It’s actually a number of posts, damn typos. I reviewed all seven seasons. Season 5 was probably my favourite. Buffy is my favourite character.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look forward to hearing from you on my Buffy reviews then.
Definitely, I’ll get stuck in tomorrow and read the lot – promise! ❤
Thanks Emma, hope you enjoy reading them sister.
Here’s a video I found online that will definitely interest for its Buffy content and the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs12ATHTk8U
Thank you so much Vinnie!
Glad you liked it.
Have you checked out my Buffy reviews yet?
No 🙂 but I will!!!
I look forward to reading your response to them.
Oh, those creative Brits. 1960s cult classic The Prisoner. In the Village. “You are number 6.”
Great list there, Emma! I actually never heard of some of these, but their themes are pretty cool!! I would put on my list this 80’s teen cartoon Kidd video’s theme song. Check it out:
Thank you Reut!!! I will listen to that shortly 🙂 🙂
(just wrapping up at work lol)
Thank you for your kind, sugary words as ever dear Reut!!!! ❤
