A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

NOW SIT RIGHT BACK AND YOU'LL HEAR A TALE: Has anyone else noticed one trend that seems unescapable in almost every new show this year? It's the death of the theme song and opening titles. Heroes, Studio 60, The Nine, 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights, Brothers and Sisters, Six Degrees? The most any of theme have is a 2 second title card and musical cue. The Class does a little better, with its 15-20 second theme without credits (and scores points for apparently using real school photos of the performers). Even shows that used to have full title sequences, like Grey's Anatomy, have dropped them. I think Twenty Good Years had credits, but I'm trying to repress the entire broadcast, and Justice scores with "Lawyers, Guns, and Money," but am I the only one who misses the theme song? At least give us the haunting single note of Lost or the dah-dah-dah-dah! fanfare of How I Met Your Mother.
