Watching The Big Bang Theory Monday got me thinking about "what's happened to the 'theme song'?" Looking back on the shows of the 90s and and the reruns from the 80s, a good theme song was an essential part of a show. Now, it merely seems like an afterthought with most shows foregoing the process and just putting up a screen with the title of the show. While not all theme songs are created equal, and thus as amazing, but a good theme song will get stuck in your head and allow for the show's audience to enjoy the song and want to sing-a-long. Think about it--the themes from Three's Company, Saved by the Bell, Full House, Friends. They all have theme songs that make you wanna sing along after having watched the show for many seasons. Thus, I am in favor of bringing back the theme song and the intro to television series. Below is the opening for The Big Bang Theory by the Barenaked Ladies that's funny, clever, and fun to sing along to!
