> As I sit here humming the bassline to "Sanford and Son," I realize that they just don't make TV theme songs like they used to. Most theme songs these days are pop songs that they plug in as the theme, often songs we already know. While I love CSI's choice of Who songs, there is something about an original song or fairly unknown song being used for a show that then becomes ingrained in your psyche.
