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
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.
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.
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.
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 can’t believe no one has mentioned The Bob Newhart Show, or the greatest theme song of all time, Rawhide, sung by the great Frankie Laine. But then, I’m old.
This is your top 10 best cartoon theme song : HM :Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(1987-1996)0:06 N°10 :Flinstones(1960-1966)1:29 N°9 :Spider-Man(1967-1970)1:35 N°8 :Spongebob Squarepants(1999-presents)1:53 N°7 :Family Guy(1999-presents)2:06 N°6 :Rick & Morty(2013-presents)2:20 N°5 :DuckTales(1987-1990)2:32 N°4 :South Park(1997-presents)2:52 N°3 :Pokémon(1997-presents)3:54 N°2 :Simpsons(1989-presents)4:49 N°1 :Scooby-Doo Where Are You ?(1969-1970)5:23
Thunder birds, the protectors, the persuaders, randall and hopkirik deceased, whatever happened to the likely lads, chips, the fall guy, the banana splits, this list could be in the hundreds lol
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
Am I the only one who thinks Kim possible and star vs the force of evil had amazing songs ( just the songs might not be as tear as alot of of these shows)
Some of these shows I've never heard of. I can not accept this. 😉 No "Andy Griffith", "Gilligan's island" (which was the first show to ever have a ballad, btw), "Beverly Hillbillies", "William Tell Overture" (That's the theme to the "Lone Ranger", btw), "The Pink Panther", "The Brady Bunch", "Jonny Quest", "JEOPARDY", "Full House", "Mr. Ed"... * But I do agree with your #1. (That's my ringtone, btw.) 😎
Dexter should be in the top 10 at least. Making a morning routine of a guy so intimidating with the close shots, perfectly timed jump cuts. Man that intro is a masterpiece
This must be completely subjective. How did the Greatest American Hero, Welcome Back Kotter! and Mary Tyler Moore not make the list? They need to make another list of maybe top the 100 but GAH will always be my #1. 🎶 Believe it or not I'm walking on air, never thought I could feel so free.e.e🎶

Doctor Who is still running btw 😅
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
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?
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
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
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
That 70s Show will always have my heart 💕💕
The Sopranos what a show ,what a theme 🔥🔥
Fun list! Thanks for putting together!
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
🎉 retro TV greetings from coastal Mississippi. I have been watching TV since 1969.❤😂
Can't believe you didn't include the Twin Peaks theme. It's just iconic!
Dude accept subjective opinion
DuckTales is my favourite
It’s clearly a Hall & Oates song lol
i love how it basically went from sweet old ducktales, to literal breaking bad.
Succession really SHOULD be there, what a theme. Nice list!
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 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
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?
It's a crime that Futurama not even King of the Hill or American Dad are on this list. Futurama theme was awesome.
Twin Peaks literally deserves to be on here, THE THEME SONG LEGIT WON A GRAMMY
Hearing Two and a Half men was a trip bro
Fr
When Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra do a television show theme song you know it’s serious. And connected to exactly what Ye was talking about
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
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
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
Finally my favourite show The Office is on here.
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.
So many good songs from the '70s through the '90s. Many shows in the 2000s and 2010s no longer have lyrics (someone singing), just music playing
30 rock and unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is definitely some of my faves!
30 Rock’s theme and soundtrack are AMAZING
So glad Doctor Who is on this list
I have been looking at these lists for a while trying to find doctor who
Thank you 🙏
Bojack Horseman?
True detective is definitely my favorite
BUFFY :THE VAMPIRE SLAYER-ANGEL-Firefly-Knight Rider-Babylon 5-Farscape-Lexx-Stargate SG1-Stargate Atlantis-Stargate Universe.
BUFFY! It’s the best theme song IMO. Also, Supernatural, Angel, 7th Heaven, Charmed, Sabrina The Teenage Witch.
The Xena: Warrior Princess Theme
Amazing and should be on this list.
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.
Xfiles, curb your enthusiasm and Seinfeld and Cheers and Stranger Things need to be in the top 5
I knowwwww
Cheers ❤️
Chips, Three's Company, Munsters, Dukes of Hazzard just to name a few that should be on this list
I can’t believe no one has mentioned The Bob Newhart Show, or the greatest theme song of all time, Rawhide, sung by the great Frankie Laine. But then, I’m old.
Sinner! GOT theme cannot be cut
The Garfield show intro deserves a place on this list
I feel like Ninjago should’ve made the list as most nostalgic theme song. (Jump up, kick back, whip around, and spin!)
"In The Heat Of The Night" is a great one too
The fact that Psych isn't on the list is criminal
Th Big Bang theory and how I met your mother tho such a great show honestly
Good stuff
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
Where better call Saul
Stranger thing is my favourite
Three's company, theme from swat, Beverly hillbillies, Maude,. U could easily do another 50. Good list tho
This is your top 10 best cartoon theme song :

Stranger things, house md, succession, walking dead, Got , xfiles, Dexter are my favourite
4:15
Yes Batman! I loved watching the 60’s Batman after school
I would've thought, The Brady Bunch, Sesame Street, and Gilligan's Island would be on here.
No Lost in Space, Gilligans Island, Greatest American Hero, Room 222, Swat, Love Boat, Magnum PI, WKRP in Cincinnati plus many more.
Good choices! Forgetting to include Greatest American Hero was particularly bad from me
Twin Praks!?
@@lukasvetina2833 do you mean Twin Peaks?
@@walrusgumboot9022 yes
The Futurama theme is the best as far as I’m concerned
Gravity falls isn’t on here
Some choices I question but overall, not bad. Hard to argue with Scooby Doo. That’s a classic track.
I’m extremely relieved that doctor who is in this video!!!
They should have 2 lists: vocal and instrumental.
Welcome Back, Kotter...
Whoever made this list is ridiculous 6 out of the top 50 should be in the top 20
Sad too see neither Penny Dreadful nor Doom Patrol are on the list. They are both masterpieces.
I'll be ready - Baywatch
Somebody save me - Smallville
Scooby Doo number one???
This is a good list.
Thunder birds, the protectors, the persuaders, randall and hopkirik deceased, whatever happened to the likely lads, chips, the fall guy, the banana splits, this list could be in the hundreds lol
I also love the All That theme song now.
This was clearly put together by a late Gen Xer. A Top 50 list ought to include the Twilight Zone, Green Acres, maybe perhaps Three's Company.
Knight Rider, Magnum, and Narcos should be on the list.
Actually, I need to add one thing: where is The Wonder Years theme song? That’s about as iconic as it gets.
Viva La Bam is another one.
I know, I was thinking that, too. Great show, great theme song that still occasionally gets stuck in my head
Great list but missing two intro candidates. One old and one new. Miami Vice and Peacemaker :)
Seinfeld was at 50? Wow. What is going on with this list. That's a top 20 theme for sure.
The Munsters, Dallas, Miami Vice, Space 1999, Benny Hill, Battlestar Galactica, Poirot, The A Team, Star Blazers.
If Southpark is only 23rd and gravity falls is not on here i give up on life
"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
That the opening from The Nanny isn't in this list is a crime...
Am I the only one who thinks Kim possible and star vs the force of evil had amazing songs ( just the songs might not be as tear as alot of of these shows)
i needed the whole songs......
Twd amd ftwd are my fav intro. Also, my fav series
Same
I can't believe smallville isn't on here!!
No law and order?
Agreed. "Law & Order" should be here IMHO.
Scooby Doo, House, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, True Detective, and SpongeBob. S Tier.
Some of these shows I've never heard of. I can not accept this. 😉
No "Andy Griffith", "Gilligan's island" (which was the first show to ever have a ballad, btw), "Beverly Hillbillies", "William Tell Overture" (That's the theme to the "Lone Ranger", btw), "The Pink Panther", "The Brady Bunch", "Jonny Quest", "JEOPARDY", "Full House", "Mr. Ed"...
* But I do agree with your #1. (That's my ringtone, btw.) 😎
Vikings, Sons of Anarchy, Hannibal, The Punisher...
pokemon is the one for me a nostalgia time capsule, sopranos and curb your enthusiasm i know more from memes, and the house one goes the hardest
last one is a banger
Come on now! Dallas, Hill Street Blues, CHiPs!
Dexter should be in the top 10 at least. Making a morning routine of a guy so intimidating with the close shots, perfectly timed jump cuts. Man that intro is a masterpiece
The intro, sure - but this is for the theme song.
Gravity Falls, NCIS, Law & Order, Marvel The Punisher
I'm with ya about "Law & Order". That's the best theme IMHO.
The Wire and Better Call Saul?
This must be completely subjective. How did the Greatest American Hero, Welcome Back Kotter! and Mary Tyler Moore not make the list? They need to make another list of maybe top the 100 but GAH will always be my #1. 🎶 Believe it or not I'm walking on air, never thought I could feel so free.e.e🎶
the song of smallville and the the OC its impossible dont listen and remenber the show
I can't believe The West Wing theme isn't in there.
where is Tuyo - Narcos?
Why is Meta Runner not on this list, that series intro is perfect
Can't believe the narcos theme isn't here
Big bang needs to be higher but I love the list.. so many memories
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
All I would add is That 70s Show and Frasier.
