* Continuing the epic tradition of awesome music themes, ''Kamen Rider Fourze'', the 2011-2012 ''KamenRider'' series, has the ridiculously catchy and equally brilliant [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUOOI1KVnc0 "Switch On!" by Anna Tsuchiya.]]

** Say what you will about ''TensouSentaiGoseiger'', but don't deny the awesomeness of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfpLfOk1aQ8 Gosei Knight's theme]].

** ''KamenRiderKiva'' had a ton of awesome tracks during its series' run, most if not all of which were [[DoItYourselfThemeTune sung by the actors themselves]]. Then, June this year, Toei released a reunion album featuring redone versions of some of the previous songs. The fact that this happened at all makes it ''even more'' awesome, as it's probably the first time it's happened to any Rider series [[CashCowFranchise that]] [[TheWesley isn't]] [[{{KamenRiderDen-O}} Den-O]].

** The moment when Picard says "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q6jZC1sn1A#t=88s magnify]]" cues '''''the''''' creepiest, most-spine-chilling music ever heard in a Star Trek production. Gene Roddenberry's dream, say hello to George Orwell's nightmare. And it will never be topped...ever: they even made TheWesley just another character who you'd pity if he was Assimilated Into The Hive Mind.

* Both ''{{ALF}}'' themes, especially the 1988 saxophone version: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY3rlYHOTk4 This.]]

* ''TheWire'' barely ever had a score at all, so of course [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFDOPPVReHs&feature=related each]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fXJyvEpk9A&feature=related season's]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPmVF4jWHbM&feature=related opening]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MtkG2VwiSQ&feature=related credit]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtq65wEgzBg&feature=related sequence]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIUCbifFL9U&feature=related each]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SO40ansNU8&feature=related season]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcl40sIGN1s&feature=related finale]]'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-wjFGhqKQE&feature=fvw closing]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT-7LCRpPVQ&feature=related montage]] had to make up for this. Be warned, each montage contains massive spoilers for the season.

* The (first) ''[[StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]]'' ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNYRWo15E08 here]]) and ''[[StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJkYPcccOMc here]]) themes are contemplative yet memorable. As a matter of fact, they won the 1993 and 1995 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music, respectively.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXgjzHSVDEA trumpet heavy score]] for TheGreenHornet is RuleOfCool made into music form.

* Al Hirt's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXgjzHSVDEA trumpet heavy score]] for TheGreenHornet is RuleOfCool made into music form.

* Jeff Beal's magnificent music for ''{{Rome}}'', which manages to sound plausibly ancient and yet seductive at the same time. Highlights include the percussive [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1Q-PSWYwls title theme]], the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyUrAjehs-w Egyptian remix]] of same, and the [[EarWorm deviously catchy]] "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpyPGwpZ5Ts Janus Breaks]]".

* The British miniseries {{Sherlock}} has some amazingly catchy music throughout

** There are lots and ''lots'' of GameShow ThemeTunes that fall under this. [[http://gsthemes.freehostia.com/ For proof, go here]] (Note that you may need a strong pop-up killer). The main themes to ''The $10,000 {{Pyramid}}'', ''Card Sharks'', and any incarnation of ''To Tell The Truth''.
