JUST SIT RIGHT BACK AND YOU'LL HEAR A TALE: Our good friend Alan Sepinwall has a column today which starts off being about TV theme songs. He notes that while he loathes Psych, he finds the theme song so irrestistibly catchy that he finds himself sitting through the whole episode off the residual goodwill. I actually kind of like Psych, in no small part because pretty much every character on the show finds Shawn almost as annoying as the audience does, but completely agree with him on the theme song which is ridiculously catchy and appropriate to the series concept ("I know/that you know/that I'm not telling the truth"). The only other ones that I can remember grabbing me as much in recent memory are short-lived WB series Related, with a catchy power-pop hook similar to Psych's, and Everwood, which is almost the model of an orchestral theme, though primarily driven by piano and violin. There any theme song that works like that for you?
