There have been some killer OTS on shows in the past few years (Six Feet Under, Carnivale are a couple of favorites), but last night I realized I really, really like the one for Rescue Me. Killer song, effective editing and cool titles make this a really powerful one.

Anyone else have a favorite?

Definitely for the music, but the footage of Archie and Edith singing together is pretty classic, too.

...Gee our old LaSalle ran great!

The West Wing was always good.

Miami Vice is a classic.

Simon and Simon had some great theme music
