But while I loved the show, there a number of things about it that left me scratching my head even when I’m dandruff free.  As the show comes to an end next month after eight seasons, it’s only fitting that I list them, 24 of them to be exact. These will at least remind me not to miss the show so much when its trademark ticking goes silent and its digital clock finally winds down,  for good.

1. Jack Bauer’s cell phones have batteries that need no recharging whatsoever, not even after long / multiple calls or heavy media transmissions.

2. Jack Bauer doesn’t eat or drink.

3. Jack Bauer never takes a whizz.

4. Its habit of leaving the fate of certain important characters hanging in the air, like season 2 presidential advisor Lynne Kresge, season 4 terrorist spawn Behrooz Araz, Day 6 president Wayne Palmer,  and Martha Logan’s aide Evelyn Martin and his young daughter from season 5.

5. David Palmer is the second biggest jerk (next to Charles Logan) to ever become president, ordering a subordinate to kill himself because a terrorist asked him for it.

6. They killed off Michelle Dessler just when she was starting to show some skin. She was rockin’ pink spaghetti straps the morning she was blown to kingdom come, for chrissakes.

7. Speaking of hot women on the show, they just did what is probably the worst case of coitus interruptus on TV, with Renee Walker getting offed seconds after getting off with Jack Bauer.

8. They hand out immunity deals like they were lollipops to any hardcore terrorist who promises to “sing”, never mind if the guy killed a couple thousand Americans just a few hours ago.

9. Until recently, nobody, except for Chloe and a few other characters, ever believes or listens to Jack until it’s too late.

10. You’d think that Jack Bauer, who was imprisoned and tortured in China for almost two years before being  retrieved by the American government in time for Day 6, would at least show some signs of being traumatized by the ordeal. Instead, he got back into super agent mode in no time at all. But then again, HE IS Jack Bauer. Chuck Norris has nothing on this guy.

11. Kim Bauer, the aforementioned stupid daughter, became an analyst at CTU.

12. Dennis Hopper as main season 1 bad guy Victor Drazen.

13. Heroin is one of the toughest drugs to kick, but Jack easily shrugged it off. Then again, see no. 10.

14. Tony Almeida making like Jesus Christ.

15. Tony Almeida becoming a villain, a hero, then a villain again in less than 24 hrs.

16. The White House assault and hostage situation staged by an African commando team.

17. Graem Bauer. Not that the actor was doing a bad job, but because he looked and talked just like an ex-boss of mine, and made me wanna punch a hole through his face and my TV every single time he appears onscreen with that dang Bluetooth.

18. David and Sherry Palmer are fairly good looking, which is why the fact that they produced a son who looks like Keith makes us question everything we’ve been taught about genetics.

19. Pilots are so good they could land big ass planes on narrow strips of road.

20. The ease at which enemies could plant moles inside the supposedly COUNTER-Terrorist Unit.

21. In season 8, everybody, from ex-cons to bounty hunters, seems to know where CTU is and are even allowed inside the premises.

22. Jack Bauer being able to do undercover work despite having his face plastered all over TV screens during the Senate hearings in season 7.

23. The charisma-challenged Wayne Palmer became president.

24. Jack’s “I give you my word”, which he breaks more often than he keeps, unintentionally or otherwise.

TV shows come and go (well, maybe with the exception of COPS and The Simpsons), but television theme songs will always stay with us, be it nostalgic or just plain annoying. On more than one occasion, I’ve caught myself humming most of the TV show theme songs listed below, the way I hum popular movie themes.

1. Six Feet Under theme music

This one’s my all-time favorite TV theme. Brilliant theme music for a brilliant TV show.

2. Jeopardy theme

I’ve lost count of the number of times some douchebag in college hummed the Jeopardy theme music whenever I took some time answering a professor’s question.

3. Pokemon theme

I hated it, my kids love it. They win.

4. Remington Steele theme

This is the theme to the show that introduced Pierce Brosnan to the world.

5. Transformers theme

A classic I used to wake up and look forward to as a child.

6. Doctor Who theme

Various arrangements of this British TV theme music have come out in the past four decades, all of them just as haunting and ethereal as the original.

7. Benny Hill theme

Not really a fan of the show, but its theme music just gets me every time.

8. Mission Impossible theme

One of the most recognizable TV themes of all time.

9. Friends theme song

For ten seasons, Chandler, Joey, Ross, Rachel, Monica and Phoebe were there for us.

10. Batman theme song

The various Batman animated series had cool themes, but nothing beats the “”Dadadadadadadadadadadadada…Batman!” of the 1960s Adam West series.

11. Simpsons theme

It’s just unbelievable that we’ve been listening to this TV theme song for almost 18 years now.

12. Pink Panther theme

Even though Steve Martin and Beyonce’s movie sucked, the theme remains unforgettable.

13. The Office theme

Save for the grungy guitars, this theme reminds me of a number of 80s television theme songs.

14. Cops theme song

“Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do…?”

15. Family Guy theme

It’s just fascinating how a theme song to a very funny animated show that respects nothing and no one could be so preachy.

16. Futurama theme

I liked The Simpsons theme better, but this theme sounded fun just the same.

17. Miami Vice theme

Another classic from the 80s.

18. South Park theme

No other TV show can put lyrics like “I like girls with big fat titties, I like girls with big vaginas” in its theme song and get away with it.

19. Barney theme song

This is the TV theme song that makes me want to become a purple dinosaur murderer.

20. Jackass theme song

I just love how the Jackass punks chose a song with a polka beat as its TV theme song.

21. All WWE theme songs

I like most WWE theme songs, but I love Batista’s “I Walk Alone” song the best. And the fact that he is my favorite wrestler there has everything to do with it.

22. The X-Files theme

This is one TV theme that was perfect for the series: creepy, ethereal and just plain awesome.

23. American Idol theme

One of the most recognizable television theme songs today.

24. Law and Order theme

One word: Sexy

25. CSI theme

The song that introduced a whole new generation to The Who.

26. Smallville theme

“Somebody saaaaaaaaaave meeeeeee…..” I’ve been listening to this song for seven seasons and it hasn’t gotten any less annoying.

27. Party Boy theme song

I couldn’t get Images of Chris Pontius’ bouncing butt out of my head every time I hear this song.

28. Firefly theme

Too bad they’ve canceled this one just when it was starting to pick up.

29. Spongebob Squarepants theme

This TV theme song never fails to wake my little kid up in the morning.

30. Hawaii Five-O theme

One of the most dynamic and recognizable TV show theme songs ever.

31. The Sopranos theme song

I really am going to miss humming “got yourself a gun….”

32. Scooby-Doo theme

I loved this song as a kid, and nothing can ever change that.

33. The A-Team theme

As testosterone-laden as any TV theme music could ever get.

34. Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers theme

For a show that sucked, it sure had one kickass theme song, if only for the nifty guitar licks.

35. Theme from Shaft

Isaac Hayes, way before he got caught up in all that Scientology vs. South Park crap.

36. Survivor theme

The show is in its 15th season, and I still couldn’t hum the notes of the opening theme right.

37. Kim Possible theme song

Countless little girls around the world have picked up hairbrushes and sang along to this hip RnB television theme song.

38. Prison Break theme

That ethereal female voice chanting at the beginning of this TV theme never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

39. 24 theme

Its opening countdown sequence makes it absolutely one of the most distinct TV themes ever.

40. Knight Rider theme

I almost fell off my seat when I heard one Bollywood-type dance song sample the unmistakable bass line of this TV theme.

41. Scrubs theme

A funny show about life working in a hospital, minus the drama of your typical medical drama show, makes Scrubs a gem in itself, and the theme captures the light nature of the show perfectly.

42. Dallas theme

My big sister watched this show regularly, and the theme just kinda stuck.

43. Sesame Street theme

The theme song of my childhood.

44. Charmed theme

Just thinking of this TV theme song makes me miss Alyssa Milano on TV even more.

45. Happy Days theme song

Just caught some episodes of this show on reruns, but I found the harmony of the opening theme to be pretty cool.

46. Cheers theme song

My parents watched this show, and I could still remember the theme.

47. Sex and The City theme

Hopefully, this perky ditty makes it to the upcoming movie as well.

48. Wonder Woman theme

Who could ever forget Lynda Carter jumping high, running fast and deflecting bullets in that sexy primary colored-costume, with a chorus of women singing “Wonder Womaaaaaaan!!!” in the background?

49. MacGyver theme

Somehow, I find myself humming this television theme song every time I’m fixing something in the garage.

50. Spiderman theme song

That Chinese woman’s version of this TV theme song in “Spiderman 2” really cracked me up.

Phew… wow that was fun.

I think next, I feel a solid list of prom themes coming up based off some uber funny (bad!) prom pictures I’ve just seen! Keep an eye out!

Mission Impossible (movie) Theme Lyrics

All the tension in the world today
All the little girls fillin’ up the world today
When good comes to bad the bad comes to good
But im gonna live a life like I should
Now all the critics wanna hit it
Shit can ever did it
Because they don’t get
But I’ll stay fitted
New era committed
Unless this red cap
Gets a bad rap from his critics

Do we always gotta cry? (gotta cry)
Do we always gotta be inside a lie (a lie)
Life is just a blast
Movin very fast
Better stay on top
or life will kick you in the ass

Follow me into a solo
Remember that, kid
So what you wanna do?
The way you wanna run
When your starin down a cable
of a mic put it that you grill like a gun
Limp Bizkit is rockin the set
Its like Russian Roulette
When your placin your bet
So don’t be upset
when your broke
And your done
Cuz im gonna be the one
til I jet

I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen me
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s ever seen lately
why you want to hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately

Does anybody really know the secret
And the combination for this life and where they keep it
Its kinda sad when you don’t know the meaning
But everything happens for a reason
I don’t even know what I should say
Im an idiot a loser and a microphone abuser
I analyze every second I exist
Beating up my mind every second with my fist

Everybody wanna run (run)
Everybody wanna hide from the gun (gun)
You can take that ride through this life if you want
You cant take that edge off that knife (no sir)
And now you want your money back (money back)
But your denied cuz your brains fried from the sac
And there aint nothing I can do
Cuz life is a lesson you’ll learn it when your through

I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately
why you want to hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately
Now you wanna hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately

(Now I know why..Now I know why..Now I know why)

Now I know why you wanna hate me
Now I know why you wanna hate me
Now I know why you wanna hate me
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately
Cuz hate is all the world that’s even seen lately

Friends Theme Lyrics

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your jobs a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s D.O.A.

It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
And it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year
but..

I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
‘Cuz you’re there for me too…

You’re still in bed at ten
And work began at eight
You’ve burned your breakfast
So far… things are goin’ great

Your mother warned you there’d be days like these
Oh but she didn’t tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that…

I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
‘Cuz you’re there for me too…

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you’re the only one who knows
What it’s like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I’ll always laugh with
Even at my worst I’m best with you, yeah

It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
And it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year…

I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
‘Cuz you’re there for me too…

I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
‘Cuz you’re there for me too…

Pokemon Theme Lyrics

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that’s inside

Chorus
Pokemon!
It’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny
Pokemon!
Ooh, you’re my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon!
Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I’ll teach you
Pokemon
Gotta catch ‘em all!

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right
There’s no better team
Arm in arm we’ll win the fight
It’s always been our dream

Chorus
