List of television theme music
The following list contains scores or songs which are the primary theme music of a television series or miniseries.
-
This is an incomplete list of songs, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness.
They are sorted alphabetically by the television series' title. Any themes, scores, or songs which are billed under a different name than their respective television series' title are shown in parentheses, except in cases where they are officially billed as "Theme from [Series' Name]", "[Series' Name] Theme", etc., which are omitted. This list does not include television series' whose broadcast run was less than ten episodes (i.e. a "failed" series) unless officially designated as a television miniseries. In cases where more than one piece of music was used for the main theme during the broadcast run of a television series (Baywatch, Happy Days, Starsky and Hutch, etc.), only the most widely recognized score is referenced.
