Most are almost impossibly cheesy looking back although some do have some really inventive ideas that still hold up. I&#8217;ve seen a fair share in reruns as a kid, although i won&#8217;t pretend to be connoisseur by any means. \u00a0These are not necessarily the best shows, just my personal favorite music intros.<\/p>\n<p>10. The Prisoner<\/p>\n<p>I love this so much i could have listed it near the top. But who says these numbers mean anything and it&#8217;s a great way to get started. I know some folks who prefer the Secret Agent Man theme, but i have an attachment to this series. Plus the intro is a mini epic story.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Prisoner - Intro\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SlFiHhN8aew?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>9.

Doctor Who<\/p>\n<p>Iconic. And of course it&#8217;s still running and as popular as ever. But here&#8217;s the thing, the original theme is very, very daring. It doesn&#8217;t try to spiff things up, it&#8217;s really straight up electronics and the story behind how they got these sounds&#8230; just tape loops and so forth&#8230; Respect.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Doctor Who (1963) -  Original Theme music video\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/75V4ClJZME4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>6. Star Trek<\/p>\n<p>Yeah it&#8217;s obvious, but you HAVE to include it. It&#8217;s Star Trek.

I know, this should probably be  in the first two. Let&#8217;s pretend order doesn&#8217;t matter. Iconic. Beyond iconic. It&#8217;s not even a SONG! It&#8217;s just 3 notes.
