Top Ten Best TV Theme Songs of All Time

10. Welcome Back Cotter
Cotter was one of the best ensemble series of the 1970s and the launching point for John Travolta's career. Try watching an episode without getting the theme song stuck in your head; it can't be done.
9. The Flintstones
Yaba Daba Doo! While this one did get annoying, it's a catchy tune that perfectly represents the fun spirit of the show.
8. Married With Children
This song is so loved by fans that many have refused to by the DVDs in which the theme is notably absent. This classic Sinatra song is great musically, but its main charm here is the intentional irony of using Sinatra's classy "Love and Marriage" as the intro into the exploits of the not so high-class Bundy family.
7. The Jeffersons
"Fish don't fry in the kitchen..." Another one of the most catchy TV themes of all time, You can't help but want to "move on up to the east side" when you hear this one.
6. Sanford and Son
Completely instrumental, jazzy, and perfect. I can't even identify the instruments used in this song (I'm not musically inclined.) but I can recognize the awesome.
5. The Simpsons
Winner of the National Music Award for favorite TV theme in 2002, as well as several other awards, the Simpsons theme is one of the most recognizable theme songs in television history, and remains an ingrained part of American Culture.
4. The X-Files
One of the most creepy theme songs around, hearing this always makes me want to turn on more lights.
3. The Adams Family
"They're creepy and they're kooky..." Possibly the most simple and catchy theme ever. Potentially annoying, but still a classic.
2. Seinfeld
No instruments, no words, only about ten seconds long, barely qualifying as a theme song, but totally classic.
1. All In The Family
A great show with a great nostalgic theme. The song itself is great, but it's the Edith Bunker vocals that earn this one the top spot on the list.

The Misunderstood Problem of Social Phobia

William James (1890) made an important distinction between the 'I' (the private inner self) and the 'Me' (the self as an object of self reflexive thought), and argued that the latter had material, spiritual and social aspects. He famously argued that we have as many selves as there are people about whose opinions we care, and so the self changes from one situation to another. This view was to influence the work of Cooley (1909) who spoke of the 'Looking Glass Self' - a reflection of the imagined judgments about ourselves made by other people (cf.ac.uk). For people with social phobia / social anxiety, this reflexive view of the self becomes central and distorted. That is to say that, in social situations the person with social anxiety becomes fixated on, and exaggerates the perceptions others may have. According to William James, to understand the "me," we may begin by dividing the history of it into three parts, relating respectively to-its constitue...

MGK Rap Devil VS Eminem kILLSHOT. Who won?

Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem have made rap battles interesting again. With one music video Machine Gun Kelly launched his career to a level never achieved in his mediocre history as a somewhat known rapper. Shortly after its release, the Eminem dis track "Rap Devil." Went viral. Suddenly the moderately successful and not widely known rapper was trending and getting respect from people who had nothing for him before. There were two reasons for the response. First, people don't go after Eminem. His unmatched skill and his devastating lyrical assaults scare off most rappers. The fact that MGK was willing to step up and challenge Slim Shady is impressive. The other thing that makes Rap Devil noteworthy is that it's actually pretty good. musically, it's probably the best thing Kelly has produced, and lyrically he comes pretty hard at Em. Honestly, people were kind of surprised that MGK made himself relevant. Of course right after Rap Devil went viral, everyone wa...

A Short Biography of Joseph Pulitzer

"Joseph  Pulitzer  was born in Mako, Hungary on April 10, 1847, the son of a wealthy grain merchant of Magyar-Jewish origin and a German mother who was a devout Roman Catholic. He was educated in Budapest. He decided to become a soldier and tried in turn to enlist in the Austrian Army, Napoleon's Foreign Legion for duty in Mexico, and the British Army for service in India. He was rebuffed because of weak eyesight and frail health, which were to plague him for the rest of his life."[1] After two other European armies declined to admit him, Pulitzer joined the American Union army. [2]  This occurred when he met a bounty recruiter in Hamburg,  Germany  and contracted to enlist as a substitute for a draftee, a procedure permitted under the Civil War draft system. "Pulitzer migrated to the United States in 1864 and served in the first New York cavalry during the American Civil War." [3] Pulitzer's claim to fame, however, is not in his military service but rathe...
