with the invention of Netflix and the subsequent hours of Netflix and chillin' which occurs (code for hours of lazy mindless self indulgence binge watching an entire tv series in one day), I would say the best theme song is no theme song. Its really annoying to binge watch a show and hear the theme over and over.

also, moonglow..thank youuu for posting that Elton John video (2 yrs ago). One of my all time favorite songs and musicians. That was so beautiful I almost cried.
