Dan the theme music for a show help or hurt it.  | |  I think the theme music is very important. It is not enough by itself to carry a show of course but it can make a difference. One case I am thinking about is True Calling which suffered because it had practically the same theme music and song as the already well established show Smallvile escept that for Smallville was better done. Smallville had "save me" and True Calling had "help me" and the performance of the music and singing on Smallville was and is much better. Of course True Calling suffered from a decline in writing in the 2nd season also. I think the theme is important, it may not save a bad show, but it can help a mediocure one.

Scrubs is a great example IMO. I dont know anyone who doesnt hum that tune now and then and everyone thinks scrubs when they here it, not the actual band. Theme tunes are also a great talking point onto programs so it can help spread the word.

 stealthy (2986) | 3 years ago | Thanks for overcoming my huge typo in the title, it always seems to be ones in the worst place that slip by. Yes, I agree it is only a minor effect usually but many of the really popular shows also have very good themes. NCIS has a good theme and when you hear it you think of the show and the example I gave above about True Calling was that when you heard it, even though it said "help" and not "save", you thought of Smallville and not True Calling. | |
