TV Themes

So what I’ve really noticed from sampling the new US TV series for this autumn (or Fall) – barely any have original theme tunes:
CSI:NY, Veronica Mars, LAX, and Dr Vegas, amongst others, all have reused old songs. I guess that having something instantly hummable attracts viewers, although I’ve got to say that I don’t know where the next generation of Mike Post’s are going to learn their trade if this continues.
And of those series that make it across the pond, it’ll be interesting to see if they retain their themes, or whether, like Las Vegas, they have to be reversioned for copyright reasons.
