So if you don't yet know, TV shows are great. We love feeling for characters and seeing ourselves along with our friends in them. But what really puts the cherry on top of the cake of feels? THE THEME SONG. So here's my list of the best TV Theme songs that never fail to get me psyched to consume my visual feels cake.
5. Scrubs (2001-2010)
Lazlo Bane's "Superman" just seemed to fit the show perfectly. It didn't ever play for too long since there was usually a story set up beforehand, but that part at the end with the "I'm nooooooo, superman" always made me feel like "yeah this is my kinda show".
4. Friends (1994-2004)
I'm gonna admit to something that might possibly anger a good amount of people reading this: I never actually watched "Friends" much. I know, what an abomination of human life... but DAT INTRO THO. I mean come on, don't try and tell me you don't do the claps every time you hear it. Like really, you're probably a communist if you don't. Not even probably!! You ARE a communist. Do the hand claps or go home and read your copy of the Communist Manifesto you Marxist.
3. The Andy Milonakis Show (2005-2007)
Ah, a gem from my high school days. I actually had this recorded on my jitterbug-like flip phone back in freshman year and would listen to/memorize it while waiting for my parents to pick me up from sports practices. Andy was a pretty weird dude, especially for being in his 30's during the show (whaaaaaat), but I think we can all relate to a guy who keeps bologna in his front pocket and enjoys pancake on his face.
2. The Office (2005-2013)
There are few things in this world that get me as amped up as the intro to The Office. I feel like I should listen to it before I have to give a presentation or do a job interview, it just feels so empowering for some reason. By the time the drums kick in halfway through I probably look like Dwight doing his "Kickstart My Heart" pre-sale ritual.
1. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (1990-1996)
If you didn't see this coming, chances are you're a 40+ year old adult who accidentally stumbled upon this page while trying to figure out how to get your email to work. The Fresh Prince's intro was (and is still) so good that as a kid, if the intro came on, I was practicing it line-for-line so I could rap the whole thing in front of my friends for uh... respect I guess? Nevertheless this was another song that sat next to my recording of The Andy Milonakis theme for me to memorize. If you want to get a group of people to make a connection between each other, play the Fresh Prince theme. Anybody who doesn't sing along failed to have a childhood and should be sent to research scientists for thorough examination.
Honorable Mention: Malcolm In The Middle (2000-2006)
If there was ever a theme song to narrate my middle school self's life, this was probably it.
