1. Sanford and Son

Fred Sanford ate some 9-day-old collard greens and felt for sure that he was going to die. As he lay in bed suffering, he turned on the radio to hear some relaxing music. Instead, what he heard was "Freddie's dead! Freddie's dead!"

5. I'm voting for that too.

2. Had to vote for Sia

Just because I love her, and I love that song.

3. Miami Vice -- "In the Air Tonight"

[charlie and algernon]

4. Nice. That's good.

[sarge43]

14. Indeed. Gave me chills n/t

[lame54]

6. I want to vote for Arrested Development...

because it makes me laugh every time I hear that song and I think of Job - but
Breaking bad - the first line of Baby blue - "Guess i got what I deserved" is perfect for that scene - the blue meth is his baby blue - perfect

19. I so wanted to vote for 'Final Countdown' because that was just LEGENDARY

but it a very different way then many other songs. It was almost to the point that 'Final Countdown' was Gob's theme of just how horrible of a person he was whereas the other songs were more of single great moments in time of great TV shows.

I went with 'Breathe Me' by Sia although I was tempted to pick Other and say either 'I Wish I Was the Moon' from 'True Blood' (When Sookie and Eric finally hooked up and Bill realized he lost Sookie) or 'The General Specific' from Band of Horses (Gossip Girl when Dan and Serena first hooked up). Yes I am a sucker for hook-up music in great TV shows.

7. Joan Osborne's What if God was One of Us

at the end of an episode of Homicide: Life on the Streets about a sniper.

8. I like the original CSI's theme,

"Who Are You?" by the Who.

[Jamaal510]

9. "Together Forever"

[olddots]

10. Taxi

the Taxi theme

[cui bono]

11. It absolutely is Crystal Blue Persuasion - Breaking Bad:

But Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah is one of the most beautiful things you'll ever hear. I literally shed a tear when I saw and heard him perform it live. It's been so long since I've seen The West Wing, I don't remember it in the show.


Unfortunately the quality of this video isn't very good.

12. They all sooooo good. Hard to vote for just one.

13. Les Nessman suiting up for his hot date with Jennifer to Hot Blooded

Can't find a video clip

[sarge43]

15. Honorable mention: Little Drummer Boy, The West Wing n/t

[Dr. Strange]

16. I don't see the theme to Knightrider.

Why is that? Can someone explain to me how that song isn't included on this list??!

17. Don't Stop Believin': Also used in Giants world championship recaps

[LynneSin]

20. SORRY BIG TIME FAIL NO on that one

Because every sports team uses 'Don't Stop Believing' until it is used to death. I remember the Reds using it back in 1990.

The concept of the Giants having any kind of ownership on it is a massive FAIL

[KamaAina]

21. But Steve Perry is a Giants fan

so there.

[mrmpa]

18. Family Ties-At This Moment

[KamaAina]

22. Thank You For Being A Friend - Golden Girls

[LynneSin]

23. I did vote for SIA but ended up doing OTHER - Neko Case 'I Wish I was the Moon'

It was so perfect for when finally Eric and Sookie hooked up in 'True Blood' and of course the cut-away watching Bill brood over a snifter of Blood realizing what a douchebag he had become that he had lost Sookie to Eric.
