Favorite TV show theme?
This could be music scores, opening theme or ending credits. I have a few because I probably watch more TV than movies, so: Twin Peaks (opening credits and love theme), Dexter(opening credits which was my ring tone with my first real smartphone) Steven Universe (closing credits), Doctor Who (everything!) ? Flight of the Conchords (opening credits), Stranger Things (opening credits and score), even though I never watched Star Trek in earnest, my mom does, so ST: DS9 (opening credits), The Crown (opening credits was produced by Hans Zimmer), House M. D (theme was actually Teardrop by Massive Attack) older stuff: Perfect Strangers, The Golden Girls, Magnum P. I., Knight Rider, Peter Gunn are all memorable themes too.

@Stepmomofdragons Oh Hell yes! ☺
How did you miss Game of Thrones or the A-Team? In addition Supernatural has the best recap theme ever.

Carry on my wayward son;
There'll be peace when you are done...
@scurry Just to add to the geekdom, I play a DnD game with a few friends about once a month, I start Wayward Son whenever the DM starts doing the recap of last game.
@mattersauce Priceless!!
Do they get it?
@scurry They definitely do, laughs every time.
I especially like the Dr Who theme for the number of revisions it's managed to survive (save for the late 80s version, which is kinda meh in my book). Also because of how it was originally created.

I like OITNB opening. I usually get annoyed by show openings because of how many times I have to hear them lol. I have noticed while watching Grey's Anatomy, I have Googled more songs from that show than any other show. They have an amazing music collection. I haven't watched House MD's opening but I love Massive Attack so kudos to them. I've also liked a lot of songs from the Blacklist. Marvel has great openings for their Netflix shows. Oh and I loved Dexter, he was the first one I thought of when I started to read your post. Glad you mentioned it!

@Stepmomofdragons I'm pretty sure that was a Top 40 hit.
Doctor Who, definitely. And House MD.
I also liked the opening credits to Star Trek: Enterprise

Trailer Park Boys...
Relaxing, happy, and eerie. All at the same time.

I used to love Dallas for the counterpoint of horns and strings I think it was! If I recall the section came in after 32 bars but I may be wrong on that.

I actually miss True Blood. It was so creepy and sexy.
Coronation Street, The Sopranos. They both, cleverly, set the scene for the context of the show.
