Which television theme songs would you consider your favorites and least favorites?
Here are Mine
Favorites:
1. What We Do In The Shadows - I find this to be a very unique intro with a catchy sound to it. It really represents the vampire "culture" so to speak and really sets the tone for the show you will be watching.
2. Young Sheldon - This nice little gem sung and written by the great Steve Burns of Blue's Clues fame is one of the most memorable ones in recent memory.
3. The Cleveland Show - Out of the three Seth MacFarlane animated series, The Cleveland Show has the best theme song by far. The theme songs to both Family Guy and American Dad! have little to no relevance to this show itself. The Family Guy one is just one long homage to All In The Family and the American Dad! song only has one memorable line in it (Good morning USA!). But The Cleveland Show on the other hand starts off with a catchy intro that tells new viewers all the basics they need to know about Cleveland and his life in the wacky town of Stoolbend, Virginia.
4. Oswald - This one right here is so beautiful that it makes me cry tears of joy every time I hear it. It's heart wrenchingly wonderful melody just takes me back to the carefree days of childhood. Because I grew up loving the show, this entry has so much powerful nostalgia associated with it. I can never have a bad day after listening to this. It's truly one of the emotional intros ever for me:
5. Our Cartoon President - This song makes me laugh really hard. How did they even manage to make such a simple concept as repeating "Donald Trump is the president!" again and again so funny?
Least Favorites:
1. MAD - I like how they start off with a clear reference to MAD Magazine but that's about it. The music as well as the voices constantly shouting "MAD!" as many times as possible are nothing short of obnoxious. I also don't really care for the visuals much either. I understand that MAD was supposed to be an experimental show that combined various styles of animation but when you clump all those vastly diverse animation styles together it looks a bit jumbled and messy at times.

2. Happy Tree Friends - I'm sure most of you are shocked right now. "How could Flaky Pudding ever include Happy Tree Friends on a worst of anything list? Isn't it like his favorite show or something!". Yes, yes it is. But the only thing I don't like about my otherwise favorite webtoon is the theme song. The entire thing just gives me a headache and I tend to fast forward through the intro before each episode. I hope that whenever they do start making new HTF episodes again they change the theme song to something more upbeat and catchy because the one they have now is about as appealing as nails on a chalkboard.

3. Angela Anaconda - The singing in this one isn't very great and the ending makes no sense whatsoever. I couldn't help but facepalm when I first heard Angela say this completely ridiculous line,
"Starring me and not starring Nanette Manoir,".
Well of course it stars Nanette Manoir you idiot! She's in every freaking episode for crying out loud.

So.....what are your favorite and least favorite theme songs of all time? Keep in mind that theme songs without any actual singing in them (The Walking Dead, Stranger Things, The Simpsons, ALF, etc.) are included too.
