    So, I’m coming up with a list of great TV themes from 2000 onwards:

    http://www.dirtyfeed.org/2011/01/every-galaxy/

    Does anyone have any suggestions missing from that list?

    Garth Merenghi’s Dark Place.

    #111404

    I agree 100% with Foster’s Home. It’s an amazing tune.

    Garth Merenghi’s Dark Place.

    He’s right. Friend of mine thinks the Man to Man theme is great too.

    Not that they’ll be agreed with:

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    Britain’s Got The Pop Factor etc. theme > X-Factor theme
    The Class
    The Cleveland Show
    Beyblade
    Sonic X
    Naruto
    One Piece
    Pokémon
    Viva Pinata
    Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends
    Smallville
    How Not To Live Your Life
    Merlin
    The Smoking Room
    Robert’s Web
    Bruiser

    I quite like the Enterprise theme too though…

    One of my suggestions is on your list, but I’ll post it anyway…the theme from The Venture Bros. which just gets more brilliant every time I hear it:

    I also nominated the Parks and Recreation theme, as it’s really grown on me:

    Most of my other potential suggestions are on that list already, but I’m surprised to see the US version of The Office and not the UK version, which I think has a far superior theme tune (among…well, everything else):

    For me personally, my favourite TV themes from the past decade (that aren’t listed), or ones that really stick in my head are –

    – American Dad
    – Clerks: The Animated Series (maybe not one of the greatest themes ever, but I’ve always liked how short, simple and quite instantly catchy or recognizable it is in such short time)
    – Fairly OddParents (though I think that technically started in ’98 or ’99)
    – Phineas and Ferb

    Some more may pop up in my head later but those are all I could think of for now.

    The theme to Charlie Higson’s reboot of “Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)” is a beautiful piece of music.

    #111408

    Guys. Guys.

    Community, you guys.

    Seriously. Perhaps I come from a place of bias in saying this, because Community is now one of my favorite shows that ever was, but I think its theme song is pretty catchy, and suits the show perfectly.

    Also, for what it’s worth mentioning, I enjoy both the theme to Conan O’Brien’s sadly brief stint on the Tonight Show and the theme to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

    I was about to say that Community hasn’t aired over here but then I saw this: “In the United Kingdom, the show began airing on October 5, 2010 on Viva”

    Viva… So that’ll be why it passed me by then.

    Community is indeed one of the greatest shows that ever was.

    Also, the Friday Night Lights theme is kickass.

    Would series 3’s remix of The League of Gentlemen theme count?

    Thanks everyone – suggestions added! Any more suggestions, let me know. (Wondering if I’ll have to do the vote in categories, rather than a Top 10…)

    Oh, and absolutely YES to Foster’s Home too.

    Foster’s Home is a fantastic cartoon, and yes it’s theme is perfect.

    Did Sonic X not get on there because it was missed out or because the show itself is blarg?

    Missed it by mistake, sorry! Added, along with your other two suggestions.

    Samurai Jack
    Horrible Histories (the good one)
    Russell Howard’s Good News
    Gavin and Stacey?
    The Peter Serafinowicz Show
    Sherlock
    Teen Titans
    Futurama remix
    Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks

    Did Sonic X not get on there because it was missed out or because the show itself is blarg?

    I should stop hitting the edit button. For several reasons.

    Balamory though.

    I thought the Downton Abbey theme was pretty good….

    Also, Little Dorrit (starring the devine Claire Foy…*sigh*)

    I love little lush piano themes like that.

    At a complete contrast, I also liked the theme of the Frank Skinner sitcom, ‘Shane’ :P

    How about Lost?

    Yes. I share your disappointment, though.

    Anyway – updated again!
