    I go by what's catchy, what's good, and what fits the show:

    True Blood

    Game of Thrones

    Sopranos

    F Troop

    The Greatest American Hero

    Airwolf

    Magnum PI

    Miami Vice

    Honorable Mention: Highlander The Series. Yeah, the theme is the same as the movie. But it fits better with the show, I think.

    True Blood was the perfect song for the show. Really set the mood.

    Thankfully DVR came along. I record 90% of what I watch and skip the opening theme songs. Only time I will listen is if it's the series final episode.

    I once played with a band that covered the theme to The Munsters. And we occasionally covered Purple Haze but sang the lyrics to Green Acres. We had heard another band do that and thought it was pretty funny, so copy catted. Both iconic tv show themes.

    I would have put The Greatest American Hero, and Magnum PI if I had a longer list. Both fit the shows great, and I still play Magnum PI on the guitar.

    Boooooo . I make sure I listen, it's part of the experience, and I also listen to the end one, incase it's different, or a longer version of the beginning one.
    I can't even keep up with all the theme songs I've learned on Guitar watching shows, and movies.

    We did the Munsters also. I still jam it, and if my list was longer, I would have added it.
    Sacrilege to change Purple Haze.
    Although we did Broken by Seether, and change it to Choking, and re-did the words to fit P. Manning in the playoffs before he made the SB. LoL
