TMBG Themes Dominate
Sunday Night at 8:30PM
 
 

Not since the Sheen family's simultaneous broadcast of "West Wing" and "Spin City" has an entertainment dynasty held such a lock on broadcast TV. With the theme from the WB's "The Oblongs" joining their smash "Boss of Me" theme song on Fox-TV's "Malcolm In The Middle" They Might Be Giants have two of the five network themes playing at 8:30 on Sunday nights. The bands focused and driven guitarist John Flansburgh had this to say: "With only "The ABC Movie of the Week," "Touched By an Angel" and "Charlie Rose" themes left to rewrite, I think we could have a 100% lock on that time-slot before 2003." The band can also be heard performing the opening theme and incidental music for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" which airs three times daily on the Comedy Channel. Charlie Rose was unavailable for comment.
