I was born in the late 2000s, but in my country, most of the old 80s/90s cartoons were dubbed in the early 2000s. So I had the chance of watching Thomas the Tank Engine. Series 4 and 5 are my favorite!
Not seeing the Peaky Blinders theme ( Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) truly shocked me, that song is so mysterious and expertly written music wise and lyrics wise
How about Star Trek, The Courtship of Eddies Father, Perry Mason, The A Team, My Three Sons, Leave It To Beaver, The Green Hornet, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Welcome Back Kotter, The Rifleman, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
I know this is about the music, but Game of Thrones has the best intro sequence of any TV show, and it isn't even close. The damn thing changes depending on what is in the episode, that is impressive.
No Munsters , Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke, Soap, Family, Eight is Enough, What's Happening, Julia, I Dream of Jeannie, Partridge Family, Car 54 Where Are You?, Mr. Ed, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Twilight Zone, Magilla Gorilla, Speed Racer, Kimba the White Lion, Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Adventures of Superman, Baretta, My Three Sons & many others.
Underrated Theme Songs that didn’t make the list: Top Gear and The Grand Tour. The original rendition of Jessica used throughout the era of Clarkson, Hammond and May on TG was iconic, and the theme song on their current show, The Grand Tour, is equally as good in my opinion.
SpongeBob should be above family guy, family guy should be above South Park, stranger things for sure should be above Pokémon and mash should be much higher
Never seen the show and never heard the theme tune, and I watch a lot of TV. I think Americans forget Seinfeld wasn’t much of a hit outside the US. Even in the US it wasn’t as big as later sitcoms.
Why are other great TV theme songs like those from the A-Team, Knight Rider, McGyver, Wonder Woman, Brady Bunch, Sesame Street, Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes, Star Trek, etc. missing from this list?
I probably wasn't thinking, you're right they should have been included. It's just very difficult to only include 50 themes, but I definitely missed some good theme songs
99% of cartoons from the NA and Asia will always have better theme songs than almost every live action tv show, more than half of these songs sound the exact same

Doesn't it make you wonder about all the things you've missed?
like wallace and grommit
Like Magic school bus,jimmy neutron, king of the hill, and weird science
If you missed Daredevil then you must watch it immediately
Twin Peaks literally deserves to be on here, THE THEME SONG LEGIT WON A GRAMMY
SEINFIELD THE BEST
Why is it number 50
The Office THE BEST
Crime Story (Runaway) and Tropical Heat (Anyway the Wind Blows)
got ❤ X files ❤
Ducktales is here you are good
What? No Mary Tyler Moore??
If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, the original Thomas the Tank Engine theme will NEVER leave your head. EVER.
true
I was born in the late 2000s, but in my country, most of the old 80s/90s cartoons were dubbed in the early 2000s. So I had the chance of watching Thomas the Tank Engine. Series 4 and 5 are my favorite!
facts, even though i wasn't born in the 90's or 80's
@@yourneighborhoodslug same here
That show and the music is one of the worst things to come out of England.
I can't take this list seriously if Gravity Falls isn't even in the top 50
I haven’t even watched the video yet, and now that I know gravity falls isn’t there, I don’t want to
Oh, your a gravity falls fan, aight I’m done with this comment section
@@kkappy do you have a problem with Gravity Falls?
Came to comment it and saw you did it for me
@@kkappy problem?
Breaking bad and House themes are top quality in the middle of chaos.
the ending scene in Granite State 🔥
Breaking Bad's theme is kinda lame. Excellent tv show but the intro isn't special
The Sopranos what a show ,what a theme 🔥🔥
Not seeing the Peaky Blinders theme ( Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) truly shocked me, that song is so mysterious and expertly written music wise and lyrics wise
That 70s Show will always have my heart 💕💕
It wasn’t even on here bro trash ahh list
How about Star Trek, The Courtship of Eddies Father, Perry Mason, The A Team, My Three Sons, Leave It To Beaver, The Green Hornet, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Welcome Back Kotter, The Rifleman, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
X-files is the probably the best theme song of the 20th century. Still gives me goosebumps.
W h I can get the boys to get you some stuff and stuff to get the
Pretty wrong
wrong lmao
I know this is about the music, but Game of Thrones has the best intro sequence of any TV show, and it isn't even close. The damn thing changes depending on what is in the episode, that is impressive.
I’m not a Seinfeld fan, but in the same vein - the song was recorded live every single episode so it’s always a little different.
No it doesn't. You're lying
Game of Thrones has easily the best soundtrack ever. And the music in the intro is absolutely insanely good and timeless.@@Shockkings0714
Bojack horseman did something very similar
@@Shockkings0714 hey buddy, dont skip the intro in season 8 and you'll see what hes talking about
Bojack Horseman?
DuckTales is my favourite
It’s clearly a Hall & Oates song lol
The A-Team, Airwolf, Quantum Leap, Thundercats, L.A. Law, Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere, Taxi, and the Love Boat should be on this list too.
Macgyver!
Taxi!
What about The Twilight Zone?
Where is Miami Vice, Magnum PI, Street Hawk, Knight Rider.
Night Court anyone?
No Munsters , Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke, Soap, Family, Eight is Enough, What's Happening, Julia, I Dream of Jeannie, Partridge Family, Car 54 Where Are You?, Mr. Ed, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Twilight Zone, Magilla Gorilla, Speed Racer, Kimba the White Lion, Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Adventures of Superman, Baretta, My Three Sons & many others.
No Buffy, no ANGEL
Brooklyn 99
No Baywatch!
Ninjago
gilligan island
Underrated Theme Songs that didn’t make the list: Top Gear and The Grand Tour. The original rendition of Jessica used throughout the era of Clarkson, Hammond and May on TG was iconic, and the theme song on their current show, The Grand Tour, is equally as good in my opinion.
Add Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D to that list and it's complete.
Ninjago
Ninjago theme song too.
No law and order?
Agreed. "Law & Order" should be here IMHO.
Can't believe you didn't include the Twin Peaks theme. It's just iconic!
Dude accept subjective opinion
The Munsters, Dallas, Miami Vice, Space 1999, Benny Hill, Battlestar Galactica, Poirot, The A Team, Star Blazers.
Where better call Saul
1.GOT
2.The X-Files
3.TWD
4.Narcos
5.The Sopranos
All perfect except I would put Westworld instead of Narcos
Cool to see narcos getting some recognition
agreed
@@filippoferrari7176 Ramin Djawadi doesn't miss 💥
SpongeBob should be above family guy, family guy should be above South Park, stranger things for sure should be above Pokémon and mash should be much higher
Gravity Falls, NCIS, Law & Order, Marvel The Punisher
I'm with ya about "Law & Order". That's the best theme IMHO.
I see all these old sitcoms being mentioned but not one person mentioning the best one:
YOURE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW YOURE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW
Dallas? Brady Bunch? Gilligans Island? Taxi? Peter Gunn? Bonanza? Come on!!
Heck yeah, Peter Gunn. Also, Rawhide.
Absolutely I don't agree with that list either 😵💫 was it chosen by A.I.
Sinner! GOT theme cannot be cut
where is Tuyo - Narcos?
It's a crime that Futurama not even King of the Hill or American Dad are on this list. Futurama theme was awesome.
So glad Doctor Who is on this list
Hearing Two and a Half men was a trip bro
Fr
Game of thrones or SpongeBob should be first
Stranger thing is my favourite
Succession really SHOULD be there, what a theme. Nice list!
Stranger Things is def 1st
Three's Company one of the best themes and shows ever have you ever heard of it
Criminal that they didn’t have Three’s Company on the list
The Wire and Better Call Saul?
And ER? Wtf…
The Futurama theme is the best as far as I’m concerned
Gravity falls isn’t on here
Gimme A Break
Three's Company
Taxi
Diff'rent Strokes
how do you miss the GOAT Thomas The Tank Engine?
EXACTLY.
Scooby Doo number one???
This is a good list.
Seinfeld #50??!!! Blasphemy! Greatest show of all time, and top 10 theme. Everyone knows that base line!
Never seen the show and never heard the theme tune, and I watch a lot of TV. I think Americans forget Seinfeld wasn’t much of a hit outside the US. Even in the US it wasn’t as big as later sitcoms.
i love how it basically went from sweet old ducktales, to literal breaking bad.
Ducktales should've been number one on this list.
It's an absolute banger
Game of thrones easily takes the king tbh
Goofy theme song
That’s how I feel about chip n sales rescue rangers
Xfiles, curb your enthusiasm and Seinfeld and Cheers and Stranger Things need to be in the top 5
I knowwwww
You left out Miami vice bosom buddies n baretta bonanza
Bojack?
Th Big Bang theory and how I met your mother tho such a great show honestly
Why are other great TV theme songs like those from the A-Team, Knight Rider, McGyver, Wonder Woman, Brady Bunch, Sesame Street, Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes, Star Trek, etc. missing from this list?
Yeah. Especially MacGyver.
"Gilligan's Island"? "Star Trek: (TOS)? What were you thinking?
I probably wasn't thinking, you're right they should have been included. It's just very difficult to only include 50 themes, but I definitely missed some good theme songs
I feel like Ninjago should’ve made the list as most nostalgic theme song. (Jump up, kick back, whip around, and spin!)
Bull shit. Wheres star trek next gen and original.
🎉 retro TV greetings from coastal Mississippi. I have been watching TV since 1969.❤😂
OK... where are the Teen Titans (Original)
Honestly
@@captaincheesy7668 Honestly
Why the fuck isn’t sonic x’s theme song here??
Finally my favourite show The Office is on here.
True detective is definitely my favorite
Seriously..... How Succession is not in the top 3?????
That's a good pick. I definitely missed many great theme songs, there are just so many that I couldn't think of them all.
Mission impossible is on another level.
Peaky Blinders deserves a spot, nothing is more iconic than that metal bang to start each episode
Top 3 show but game of thrones is one for me
Seinfeld was at 50? Wow. What is going on with this list. That's a top 20 theme for sure.
30 rock and unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is definitely some of my faves!
30 Rock’s theme and soundtrack are AMAZING
WHERE THE FUCK IS BOJACK HORSEMAN
99% of cartoons from the NA and Asia will always have better theme songs than almost every live action tv show, more than half of these songs sound the exact same
Pokemon should be top 5
The original power rangers theme ?

I like two and half men or theory of big bang
No gravity falls or outlander?
Game of thrones =1
Breaking bad =2

No Saul. 😭
