The Incredible Hulk had one of the most melancholy themes ever composed for TV and I loved it. Probably helped make me into the moody kid that I was!

Mark Snow's MILLENNIUM has to be one of the darkest and moodiest Main Title in the history of television. It's really incredible.What's even more incredible is that I can't seem to find a good MP3 of it. I have the "Extended Version" but it is of poor quality. I know it's never been released on CD (bummer), but nobody seems to have pulled a great TV dub of that theme. Quite a shame....

Oh my gosh Kosh, i got info for you:The extended them, the MOST BEAUTIFUL version of it, was used when the end credits were extended in VHS on the Australian VHS rentals, sure a better rip can be made, just haven't found anyone who can.
And igot from a fellow trade, almost all the versions of the MillenniuM theme ripped from digital cable feed and they sound great!
And yes, i forgot 2 in the first person's list:
Amazing Stories
Mission: ImpossibleMillennium is a hguanting almost possesing uneasy melody of soft and hard strings in a almost "crying" style. Giving it a timly feel and and sence of past and present. Combined iwht Snow proper background it immexes quikly and indelably becomes one of televisions most unforgettalbe themes.

I've never seen this show, but I think Barnaby Jones was treated to the best TV theme ever. Amazing Stories' theme is also... amazing.NP: Sum of All Fears
