We are, of course, referring to the impossibly perky show-stopping theme of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s superior first season. Plus, how great is it, really, to rhyme “horse” with “of course”? Here are the 50 Best TV Theme Songs of All Time. What will the future of TV intros bring? That we cannot say, but in the meantime we can celebrate old-school classics and some newer favorites (including those mood setters). There have been a few exceptions, like the quirky series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but they are also quasi-musicals already. More contemporary series like The Witcher and The Righteous Gemstones created incredibly catchy tunes within their respective shows, but alas, they will never break out into the intro (although unofficially they are definitely the shows’ theme songs).
Sometimes those wordless ditties are pure gold, like the harrumphing waltz that begins every Curb Your Enthusiasm-or, for that matter, M*A*S*H*-but it’s not exactly the stuff of Archie and Edith at the piano or the old-timey photos ahead of Cheers, when a show’s theme could tell you a little story by itself. But it’s basically mood music, kind of like the screeching techno that began each episode of Silicon Valley. More paired-down and wordless intros have dominated, like in the case of two TV titans, Mad Men and Breaking Bad, but that’s not always a bad thing-led off every episode with a memorable credit sequence that captured an essence of the show- Mad Men’s ratting drums and melodramatic strings, Breaking Bad’s simmering slide guitar and sinister hissing.
