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.

College Paper: Critical Analysis of Antigone

Below is a copy of an English Comp II paper on Antigone. For use as an example only. Critical Analysis of Antigone Themes of Life, Death, Sin, and Virtue Analysis of Sophocles' play Antigone and its major themes Antigone is a play similar to Oedipus Rex in its dark tone, mythical themes, and tragic story. However, Sophocles' writing seems clearer in this play, and Antigone is much more character-driven with complex, well developed characters. Through Sophocles' brilliant characterization of people at war with themselves, Inner conflict emerges as the central theme of the play. The play is all about conflict including the obvious themes like man's rules versus divine law, and pride versus honor; as well as the deeper subtext of each character's internal conflicts.   Kreon for example, is caught between his duty to the gods and his pride. His character has changed dramatically from the time of Oedipus to the events of Antigone. He is still aware of...

What is Shinto? An Overview of Ancient Japanese Mythology Spiritualism, Mysticism, and the Kami

Shinto began in ancient times as a shamanistic practice of nature worship much like the early druids. As outside cultural and spiritual influences came to Japan, what started as a loosely formed nature cult grew into a religion that has acquired many followers and greatly impacted world culture. Shintoism is a religion that is strongly connected to teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Shinto belief borrows much from the teachings of these sister religions, but still it remains unique in its structure. Without great study of Shintoism, one could easily see the influence from Buddhist and Toaist temples by looking at a Shinto shrine. In Japan it is common to see statues of Koma-inu placed outside of Shinto shrines. Koma-inu are guardians against evil that strongly resemble the Chinese guardian lions found outside Buddhist temples. To further show the importance of Chinese Taoism in the inspiration for Shinto beliefs, the word Shinto adopts the Chinese word Tao which translate...
