The following list includes main theme music from television series or miniseries. The entries are arranged in alphabetical order based on the titles of the series. If a theme, score, or song is listed under a name different from the series' title, that name is shown in parentheses, unless it is officially named "Theme from [Series' Name]" or "[Series' Name] Theme," which are not included in parentheses. This list does not include television series that aired fewer than ten episodes, unless they are officially called a television miniseries. When a series used more than one main theme during its broadcast (such as Baywatch, Happy Days, or Starsky & Hutch), only the most well-known theme is listed.
