    My daughter loved that show because of Ian Sommerholder. So when Tom came aboard, it was all over for her.

    LOL  I have to admit I would pick Ian over Tom if I were a gay boy.  But, I am not.  Don't believe all those rumors about me.

    I'm still partial to the "UFO" theme.


    Although, I think if an actual contest was ever held across the entire history of TV, the original Hawaii Five-O theme must be considered the favorite...;-D...

    I can't deny the frickin' excellence of the original "Hawaii Five-O" theme!

    And I remember liking the UFO music from a previous post you did for it.

    I'll have several answers -- and answer separately probably.

    The original "Mission:Impossible" TV show theme.

    The utter coolness of the theme to the great TV show that lasted very briefly -- "Ellery Queen."
    This theme is SMOOTH!

    And a great TV soap I enjoyed has one of the best themes ever to my ears ~ "Generations"

    I don't believe I have ever known a theme song to be more perfect for a series.  Midsomer Murders is a British series of murder mysteries.  The all take place in villages of Midsomer County.  I'm hooked.  I believe there are about 115 episodes, each being 1.5 hours in length.  I am slowly working my way through them.  I love this series.  It isn't modern, cool, and hip; it's smart, cunning, and original.  I think people who would enjoy this are people who like old mysteries and theatre.

    Yeah, that's a good one!
    :)
    I never heard it before.

    I'm on page 45 of "Beach Music."

    ;)

    Oh I hope you enjoy it.  I just looked at the wiki article on the book.  It lists all of the many characters, in case you get lost in them.  I actually take notes and write in margins to keep up with who is who sometimes.  The Pelican Brief was like that too. 

    Happy reading. 

    My two new hardback copies of Rebecca and Mrs. DeWinter came yesterday.  They are sitting on my sewing machine just waiting for me.  :)

    So far, so good for me and "Beach Music." PLOT SPOILER!! I admit I gasped at the first couple of sentences about his wife jumping off the bridge.
    It may not be a book I would have noticed had not someone like you recommended it. But, like my favorite author Shirley Jackson, Conroy melds the English language superbly -- several times already I've slowed down my reading speed to enjoy his chosen words and sentence structures and images and all. This guy is good.
    :)

    Happy to hear of your new arrivals!

  • X-Files is pretty great, I must admit. Also enjoy Lost, if you even call that a "theme". But my favorite is an anime opening, the one to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The way the song goes from being somewhat placid (if giving hints at the sci-fi nature of the show) and then the music picks up and all these disturbing images flash by making you think "what the hell is this?" all the while an upbeat song plays in the background--a surprisingly upbeat song for one of the darkest animes ever created. It's brilliant.
