I love a nice, short theme song: They get in, they get out. They set the tone, and sometimes they’re very catchy, and they provide maximum power without taking away any of the show’s run time, and with the ever-increasing number of commercials, allowing for more run-time is all the more important (and sorry, folks: Community is at 25 seconds, and even the catch Big Bang Theory theme song clocks in at 22 seconds).
