And while the current Nick series ALVINNN!!! And the Chipmunks has been running since 2015, the longest-running and most popular was the вЂ™80s iteration. Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983-1990)ДЄlvin, Simon, and Theodore have had several animated series since Ross Bagdasarian brought them to life in 1958. The Smurfs (1981-1989)ДЄpologies in advance: just by mentioning The Smurfs theme, itвЂ™s already stuck in your head. Starting off as both a parody and tribute to All in the Family with Lois and Peter at the piano, it evolves into a Broadway-style showstopper. ThatвЂ™s evident in the opening to his most famous creation, Family Guy. Somewhere in his insane heart, Seth MacFarlane is just a song and dance man. Family Guy (1999-are you kidding? ItвЂ™s still going?) The original theme, вЂњ A Cruel AngelвЂ™s ThesisвЂќ starts off like soft rock, then gets increasingly frenetic. A cryptic rumination on religion, depression, grief, and the possible futility of love that plays out against the seemingly hopeless series of battles of giant robots and their teen pilots against increasingly monstrous creatures that might in fact be angels, EVA (as its fans call it) is so incredibly popular that its creator has been doing a new rebooted edition for the past several years. If youвЂ™ll allow a personal digression, Neon Genesis Evangelion is this writerвЂ™s favorite anime, period. The jazzy theme is called вЂњTank!вЂќ and it invokes the two-fisted P.I. A kicky space noir, the show serves up deft characterization, swift action, and a knockout punch of a conclusion. Two-Mix also did the main song вЂњWhite ReflectionвЂќ for the wrap-up film, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.Д¬owboy Bebop is frequently held up as one of the great anime series. The J-pop theme вЂњJust CommunicationвЂќ by pop duo Two-Mix is by turns propulsive and introspective, which are the two dominant moods of the series. Gundam Wing is one of the series that stepped outside of the main Gundam continuity to tell its own story of rebellion and the cost of war.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is part of the mighty Gundam franchise the giant robot pioneer hit screens in 1979 and is still going strong. (Uploaded to YouTube by crunchyrollcollection)

DonвЂ™t examine it too closely, itвЂ™s an entirely shallow enterprise. So why, you may ask, are we doing this? Pure uncut nostalgia, mainly. The ranking here is irrespective of the quality of the actual show, and itвЂ™s not intended as an ordered ranking so much as the order in which the shows occurred to me. Remember not to post links, as comments with links are sent to a computer in the caves under Dudley, and Simon has to charter a barge to get out there and release them. IвЂ™ve missed some out, deliberately or otherwise, so please let us know your favorites in the comments. WeвЂ™re starting with the nineties because thatвЂ™s when this writer was watching childrenвЂ™s television. Thundercats, M.A.S.K, DuckTalesВ and BerthaВ for example. Ultimately, it turned out that quite a lot of shows I remember from the nineties are just repeats of ones from the eighties. Occasionally thereвЂ™ll be a situation as with Knightmare,В where I deem the eighties version of the theme tune superior, and then it becomes clear that IвЂ™m basically making this up as I go along. Well, to rank theВ Top 50 90s kidsвЂ™ TV themes,В the show has to have been originally broadcast in the nineties, or have the majority of its original broadcast in the nineties.
