About this quiz
What you’ll do in this quiz
Match the artist to the correct TV theme song, from instantly recognizable openings to deeper-cut credits music. With mixed difficulty, you’ll see a blend of easy “everybody knows it” picks and trickier look-alikes.
Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can take your time and rely on memory instead of speed. Before you start, choose how many questions you want to answer and select a difficulty setting that fits your mood.
Skills you’ll practice
You’ll sharpen your ability to connect vocal style, era, and genre to the right show theme. It’s also great practice for separating similar-sounding artists and remembering which themes were performed by bands vs. solo acts.
Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)
A frequent mistake is mixing up artists who share a genre or time period, especially with pop-rock and R&B themes. Another trap is assuming the most famous artist is always the correct one - some themes are performed by session singers or less-known groups.
How difficulty is balanced
Difficulty is mixed by design: straightforward, widely known themes are placed alongside more niche or easily confused matches. That balance keeps the quiz approachable while still rewarding deep TV-music knowledge.
- Watch for decade clues: production style can hint at the right era and artist.
- Don’t overthink: if a theme is iconic, the performer often is too.
- Separate “performed by” from “featured in” (covers and re-recordings can mislead).
- Use process of elimination: rule out artists whose style doesn’t fit the theme.
- If you’re stuck, pick a shorter question count and build confidence, then increase it next run.
