Top 10 TV Show Theme Songs
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Last week, some of our favorite TV shows were honored at the Emmy Awards. However, actors and directors weren’t the only ones picking up trophies. The Emmys are a big night for music as well.
From awards for original music and lyrics, to music supervision, to music direction, artists and composers were a major part of the night.
This year, the award for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music went to HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant. Even though this is an award for original theme music, it got me thinking about all the TV theme songs I’ve loved over the years.
Here are ten of my favorite TV theme songs!
