Is Your Favorite TV Show Theme On This List Of The 50 Best?

Game of Thrones fans: you will be disappointed.

While things may have changed a bit since the era of huddling around the family television set, TV shows are still been watched and obsessed over as much as ever. But while there is no doubt that the art of the TV series is going through a revival, how do the theme songs of Mad Men or Breaking Bad rank against the likes of The Simpsons orTwin Peaks ?

Paste has set out to answer just this question, and what better way than a ranked list of the 50 best TV theme songs ever. Spanning the decades of the classic TV sitcom—fromThe Brady Bunch to Scrubs—through to modern dramas like The Wire, the list is pretty authoritative. That said, we’re a little amazed that Jan Hammer’s effort for Miami Vice was left off. But hey, what’s a list without a little controversy? We’ve put some of our favorites, plus a few of our own suggestions below. You can check out the full list here.
