Someone recently asked about the best TV themes of all time, and I thought "that sounds like a great list for my blog!" As someone who lived most of their childhood through the 1990's (which I would consider the last decade of great theme songs), I do love me some cheesy classic TV themes. Below is just a small list of my favorite TV themes from the 1950s through the 1990s, in no particular order. I should note that there are many more that I would include, but I had to narrow it down.
