I don't know why, but at the moment I'm in love with the Cold Case theme. It makes me tingle a little bit!

Out of the shows I actually watch (non-Whedonverse), I think I'd have to go with Friday Night Lights. Can listen to that nonstop.

Oh my god! I HATED the Season 3 remix. It was too slow and completely messed up the song for me.

All the other choices are aces though. It's just funny how different you can feel about a remix, ya know?

Hehe, yeah that is funny. I really like Season 1 and 2's theme, but that remixed version just rocks my socks off.

- House's is a snippet of a great song anyway, by R.E.M - Teardrop (I think. I have it on my Ipod but its dead.)

Actually, it's by Massive Attack. Though I wouldn't doubt R.E.M. doing a cover of it, but the House theme is definitely from the original Massive Attack song.

I love Bones's theme.

Supernatural doesn't, unless you count the season finale song 'Carry On My Wayward Son' as a theme

I can't stop singing the True Blood theme at the moment - even while walking around town, which I imagine is off-putting to some ('I'm gonna do bad things with you....")
I love the Babylon 5 themes (there's a slightly different variation for each season - I like Season 3 the most).
Buffy's always has a place in my heart. I will never, ever be able to sit still through that theme, and will never skip the Buffy intros.
The Firefly intro is fab!
I always loved the intro to Sharpe when I was a lad. Something about military tunes and electric guitars works.
Twin Peaks has an absolutely haunting melody that sits just right with the feel the show is after.
The Simpsons, surely, is one of the most iconic pieces of music written in the last 20 years?
The theme to Red Dwarf, particularly the grand, haunting melody from the first two seasons, ranks for me.

Then there's anime. I don't know if there are any anime fans here, but the opening and closing songs for anime tv shows get soooo much attention. They are almost always mentioned when discussion of the show begins. Some definite highlights:
Neon Genesis Evangelion
RahXephon
Cowboy Bebop
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Paranoia Agent
Azumanga Daioh
Seirei no Moribito
Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann
Beserk
Cromartie High School
Haibane Renmei
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Trigun

I love the True Blood theme song. I bought it on zune last week and accidentally listened to it for like.. half an hour on repeat before my mom said anything.
Also, the Office and How I Met Your Mother.
Weeds had a good one, but I watched it on dvd, and after a while it became really repetitive and annoying. I liked the season where they had someone different sing it each episode.

If you like the VMars theme you should check out the Dandy Warhols albums, they have a lot of cool songs.
