Shows Where Music Plays a Role

One addition for me would be Scrubs, which I can only assume Zach Braff has contributed to musical selections because they frequently sound straight off of the Garden State soundtrack. Also, for the record, EW mentions "How to Save a Life" as being prominent in Grey's, but that song was actually featured first in Scrubs! I remember it distinctly.

Also, who finds it interesting that the vast majority of shows where music is viewed to be prominent is in shows geared towards young people?

House, specifically in the first season. Songs like "One is the loneliest number" by Three Dog Night, or "You can't always get what you want" by The Rolling Stones, or "Teenage Wasteland" by the Who, are great parts of early episodes.

Supernatural! Where is Supernatural on that list? Come on Felicity, Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill and The Hills but no Supernatural. And Gossip Girl, never!!! LOL

I agree...I love the feel that the classic rock contributes to Supernatural. Very fitting. The licensing for those songs must be pricey though!

a great call with scrubs, woulda thought it coulda nearly been top of the list! and your right about "how to save a life"...was featured on scrubs, the ep. where all of perrys patients die from infected organ donations, well before the cd was even released, let along when it was played ad nauseum on the greys adverts!

Scrubs has the best soundtrack out of all the shows. It has turned me on to so many great tracks! Winter by Josh Groban (I think thats his name anyway!) Cant get enough of that song. I would put Scrubs at the top of the list! :DIf I remember correctly I think Smallville used music pretty well. But I could be wrong I stopped watching it a couple of years ago! Its really hard to think of the shows that do it best. Because part of their quality is that the music is unobtrusive and flows like a stream of consciousness through out the episodes to help direct the audience to emotions etc...

Rachel, just wanted to know what's up with all of the links that have Zango and surveys attached to them? It's getting quiet frustrating. I really love this site, but may have to go somewhere else to watch my shows because I am not installing anything or doing surveys so someone can get my email address and send me more spam. :)
