Sci-Fi TV Themes Through the Ages

Cool stylistic similarities. [Link]
Here's a catchy compilation of theme tunes from the late 70s and early 80s, featuring Shaft-esque guitars and stomping drum-beats. It's amazing how every science fiction TV show from a particular era features a similar-sounding opening theme tune. And the trends in theme music say something about the shows of the eras they belong to. Click through for a complete history of TV openings.
Some of my favorites:
  • Original Doctor Who
  • Star Trek TOS
  • Firefly
  • The 4400
  • Battlestar Galactica
