TV Theme Song Nostalgia
I was reading my friend Jay's blog today. Entertainment Weekly magazine had come out with "The Sci-Fi 25" list, it's their "Geektastic List of the Best Movies & TV" in Sci-Fi. So Jay came up with his own list here. Jay is not the owner of Flippin Channels for nothing! So then I asked him what about Quantum Leap and Voyagers? They weren't on his list. So that led me to find the theme song of Quantum Leap on the internet, because I remember liking it when I used to watch that show. Once I found that at a TV theme song website and watched the opening credits, I was mesmerized. I got the "TV theme song" nostalgia. So I went and found a bunch of TV theme songs and opening credits that I used to love.
My list of favorite TV theme songs (not comprehensive and not in any order):

Yes, but which version of the Veronica Mars theme? Ha! I like the one from this season, that staccato bit at the beginning, the restrained playing. It fits Veronica's personality better, at least at this stage of her "life".
ReplyDeleteYes, I chose the season 3 theme song for two reasons: it seems less happy and more noir, which is what the show is about; and it does fit the "college" Veronica better.
