TV themes/music...

I'm not sure what one has to do with the other, but...me too! (On both: being strange, and the liking of ELP's version.)

Monk and The Wire both have great theme songs, along with being great shows, at least the early seasons that I've seen. The Randy Newman song that popped up in the 2nd or 3rd season of Monk is perfect for the show. Love the closing credit music for the Wire. I've had a mini-Monk marathon the past couple days and remembered this antiquated thread.

Personally, I liked the season 1 Monk theme with just the guitar. It was one of my favorite themes.

Another that I loved was the reggae number for the short lived series "Going To Extremes" about a med school on a tropical island. The show never made it but the theme was fantastic.

I find it interesting that ALL 3 of the "CSI" shows use music from The Who for theme music
