BloodyL Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I've got to admit I have a huge soft spot for the themes to Quantum Leap and Star Trek: Voyager. Other favorites are the original Dr. Who theme by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (and before they added the extra echo etc. in the Patrick Troughton era), and the theme to Land of the Giants. Also, too many Japanese tokusatsu shows to mention... those damn themes are always so catchy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garpocalypse Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulufqDS6q4c I guess this would be my favorite, even though I can't stand it. I'll say I can tolerate this far more than any sci-fi show ever made, U.S. or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Firefly had a good one. TNG-era Star Trek is also a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyL Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 I can't believe I forgot this in my original post, but the theme to Greatest American Hero is one of my favorites as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbu Frahma Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Firefly had a good one. TNG-era Star Trek is also a classic. Seconded wholly. Also, new-gen Battlestar Galatica had one I enjoyed a lot, and Eureka as well. If I had to pick a favorite, it'd either be Firefly's or Eureka's. I also like a lot of the new generation Doctor Who's music, but, strangely enough, have never found its actual theme to be much better than average.

Hyperion5182 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 unless you're a soundtrack nut like i am you might not realize it but the ST Theme songs are all part of the same suite of music crafted back for the ORIGINAL movie TNG, DS9, Voyager all had different parts of the same original piece Love it or hate it however (And i know some hate it) ST: Enterprise may have had the best opening theme out of all of them. Both versions were very good. Overall themes... Sg-1 (pilot version) Firefly. I still sometimes hum that when i'm out and about. Season 5 Babylon 5 had by far the best of them. All were good but the triumphant feel of that one was unmatchable. DS9 Season 5 or later (whenever they updated it) Was a very nice one. As i stated Enterprise is on my list of TV shows. I'm sure i'll think of more later but thats the opening number for me. Oh btw...you can set pandora to hunt out these themes. =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Mandrake Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 First (and maybe only) to say Mystery Science Theater 3000. Robot roll call! Also to second the o.g. Dr Who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I knew that about TNG's theme, but never knew it about the DS9/Voyager themes... mainly because I've only ever seen like five episodes of each, tbh. Cool.

zircon Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Besides some things that have already been mentioned, I REALLY like the music to Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Sarah's theme is just beautiful: Right up there with some of the greatest film themes imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deryck Khusial Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I enjoy the music from The Pretender. The title theme from '96/'97 especially. Also, off the OST, "From the Past" is one of the most beautiful scores I ever heard on television. googling "the pretender soundtrack" will land you the ost sssh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinewav Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm sitting here trying to think of any sci-fi TV themes that I love more than 's, but I just can't. There's a lot of great ones out there, but I can't think of another show where the music and lyrics captured the themes and tones of its show so absolutely perfectly. Maybe , but that isn't sci-fi.EDIT: But as far as the composition on its own merits, completely independent of the rest of the show, I gotta go with Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, but it did have a lot of sci-fi themes.EDIT 2: I take it all back... THIS is my favorite without a doubt, on both counts of fitting the show perfectly and just being an awesome jam. P.S.: Good lord, I am indecisive.
