shadowkatThis is Day #17 of the 30 Days of Television Challenge
The prompt is a memorable theme song/credit sequence song or orchestration from a television series
It's really the credit sequence that I'm looking for...
Here's mine from "Weeds"
Little Boxes Theme Song Intro for Weeds
Weeds premiered on Showtime in the early 00s, and was a series about a suburban housewife who was also a marijuana dealer. Kind of the female version of Breaking Bad, but with much more biting satiric wit, and lot less violence. Mary Louise Parker played the lead. It's pure satire and theme song pretty much sets the stage.
Weeds is an American dark comedy-drama[1][2][3] television series created by Jenji Kohan that aired on Showtime from August 8, 2005 to September 16, 2012. Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed mother of two boys Silas (Hunter Parrish) and Shane (Alexander Gould), begins selling marijuana to support her family. Other main characters include Nancy's lax brother-in-law Andy Botwin (Justin Kirk), who moves in to help raise her children, naive acquaintance Doug Wilson (Kevin Nealon), narcissistic neighbor Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins), who lives with her husband Dean (Andy Milder) and their daughter Isabelle (Allie Grant), as well as Nancy's wholesalers Heylia James (Tonye Patano) and Conrad Shepard (Romany Malco). Over the course of the series, the Botwin family become increasingly entangled in illegal activity.
[It lasted eight seasons, I stopped after S5. Television shows really shouldn't go past five to six seasons. Just saying.]

"Tank!" is the perfect action series opener, a shot of adrenaline with bass and brass. Kanno shows mastery of a variety of musical styles over the course of 26 episodes, but nothing matches the excitement of that opening theme:

By about the end of the fourth year, I'd sometimes skip past the opening credits simply because I'd keep intermittently hearing that music in my head for hours after the ep was over.
It is a masterful musical creation, and then was accompanied by those amazing visuals in addition. And hey! Pretty involving show, too! ;-)
