As with the other "Television's Greatest Hits" collections, this is a great compilation and a wonderful, heart-warming time capsule. It's amazing that seven volumes in, they still had a plethora of entertaining themes available to collect. A must-have for any die-hard fan of classic TV.

Many years ago I bought the tapes and later the discs for TeeVee Tunes set of Theme Songs. However while working at a company, my copies of Cable Ready, (Vol. 7) and Remote Control, (Vol 6), disappeared from their cases. I found the cases, but no discs. I finally found the replacements through Amazon.com.I bought these used and I was nervous, but the discs arrived fast and they were in almost pristine condition. I have had many hours of enjoyment listening to the themes that I grew up with.Amazon.com has just about everything that you want as far as Movies, Music, and TV Shows.

Quite a collection of tunes, from cable and TV, dating from the late 80's up to the present day. Being a guy, there were a number of shows I didn't watch then and don't care to hear the theme music now...'Murphy Brown' and 'Designing Women'? I'll pass. Other shows were just too silly or far-fetched. 'Doogie Howser, M.D.', a 16-year old doctor? Yeah, right. 'Roseanne' was quite popular at the time, and rightly praised for tackling sensitive social issues. But the so-called 'star' of that show just came off as sarcastic and obnoxious...not my cup of tea. Other shows were just as annoying, like 'Barney and Friends'. But there are quite a few gems in this collection. It was a pleasant surprise to find some themes for animated series, including USA Network's 'Duckman' and one of the longest running cartoons of all time, 'The Simpsons'. A lot of iconic sitcoms get a fair representation as well, including 'Seinfeld', 'Wings', 'Family Matters' and 'Mad About You'. It says a lot about whoever put this collection together that they included the music from shows that were short-lived, or 'one-hit-wonders', including 'Davis Rules','Hudson Street' and 'Max Headroom'. The jewel in the crown for me was the sweeping, cinematic theme for HBO's feature presentation. Home Box Office had certainly come a long way from their humble beginnings in 1972, and no tune illustrates that better than this powerful piece of music that rivals Alfred Newman's 20th Century Fox theme. All in all, this is a nice collection of music. Like me, you'll no doubt hear themes from shows you never cared for, but there's also quite a few you'll enjoy and will bring back some wonderful memories.

At last I've found the theme song for The Adventures of Pete and Pete!!!! Great song which I have searched high and low for in years past and never found. That's enough to make me buy this CD, but the Simpsons and Ren & Stimpy are great too. Other standouts are Seinfeld, Law & Order, Cosby Show, Different World, Blossom, Thirtysomething, and My So Called Life. A few others are totally lame like the theme for "My Two Dads", but then so was the show.

Like it.

Product arrived as prescribed and I would buy from the seller again!

I've purchased a few other TV theme CDs hoping to get the themes I like, only to be extremely disappointed. Most of the themes on this disc do appear to be authentic. There are, however, some issues.Specifically, I bought this disc for the "Midnight Calller" and "Sledge Hammer!" themes. The "Midnight Caller" theme clocks in at 1:32, and maybe it's just my bad memory, but I don't remember the first 0:52 as part of the aired theme.The "Sledge Hammer!" theme, however, went the other way. It clocks in at 0:48, and the theme is accurate right up to the point where Sledge says "Trust me, I know what I'm doing". On this disc, they cut out that line, the bullet firing, and the glass shattering. The entire theme builds up to that, so to omit those 4-5 seconds is unforgivable, as it completely ruins the theme.

とても良かったです

I am a fan of this hard-to-find series, but some of the editions have been a bit hit and miss. This one is mainly hit, though. It's got tons of early nineties TV shows by the original artists.
