Best musical score/soundtrack on a TV show?
Tie: Dexter/Hannibal
You misspelled True Blood/WKRP in Cincinnati.
With bonus points to True Blood for having the most perfect opening credit sequence ever.
Honorable mention to Dear White People for consistently awesome music.
Kicking it Old School Style:
And how could I forget this?
I enjoyed the live performances on HBO's Treme. Also, I don't know when the trend started (The Sopranos?), but I like how series use different songs that play over closing credits on weekly episodes. Does that only happen on cable shows? Haven't watched a network show in ages. I've gotten in the habit of having my Shazzam app at the ready to learn what I'm hearing if it strikes my fancy.
The Americans
Hawaii Five O(original)
Big Love
I always liked the music used in Sopranos and their "theme" song is still part of my play list......
Many greats mentioned. I'll add a few that i like.
Love these! True Blood was great for the first season. Then it got worse and worse and omg I can't believe I'm still watching this shit but it's like a train wreck and I can't look away!!
@Remi Agreed. (I personally noped out when the witches got on and it was like a menopausal version of The Craft.) But the question was about soundtracks, not the actual show...
Uh....... How about Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
It has to be Black Beauty from the 70s or 80s. The accompanying imagery is beautiful too. Unfortunately the show itself was mind numbingly boring garbage.
I love the CSI use of the Who but my mind goes back to the 70`s and this very simple moody sequence. The show was called Callan. Edward Woodward played the lead and he was very much the same character he played in the Equalizer. Younger and much more cynical working for MI5 as a hitman.
I give big props to Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates, for a low budget morning cartoon it had a score that would've suited Erroll Flynn's best performance.
Doctor Who. The new series, that is.
I like the Tom Baker Dr. Who.
Im old enough to remember the original 60
s series. That soundtrack was phenomenal especially as it was pre-Moog synthesizer or any of our electronic gadgets, just tape machines.
As far as far as that goes, plug in any 60's Irwin Allen show score.
