I'd like to add the Farscape theme song to that list.

I'm glad MST3K made it on there, but where's Firefly?

I'd like to add the Farscape theme song to that list.

Farscape's music was AWESOME, full stop, for all four series.

I can't view YouTube at work, I am assuming that is the awesome early Tom Baker era Doctor Who theme?

It better be.

Speaking of which my 15 month old is hypnotized by it when it comes on my DVD player. It totally stops what he is doing to watch it. A riot.

YouTube link says "Doctor Who Theme Tune 1963-1969 by Ron Grainer". Video is in B&W. You think it's the same as the 1974 Tom Baker era? I don't know since I don't follow that show.

That isn't it then.

WTF. Morons. Same basic theme but Baker's IMO was the best of the bunch.

Very memorable especially given that his was the one most Americans would remember. Hell, it was the one used in the Family Guys Star Wars special when they went into hyperspace.

No Automan. That had a funky tune.

Firefly should have been on there...Then again...You blinked and you basically missed it.

The theme for Star Trek TOS was great; but when TNG debuted; I was floored; its theme (an upgraded version of the Motion Picture theme) completely blew the original one away.

Neither of the subsequent spinoff series' topped it. Only the Voyager's came close.

Still one of my favorites themes ever.
