Rolling Stone magazine's TV critic, Alan Sepinwall, asked an interesting question of his followers on BlueSky earlier this week:

What is your favorite TV theme song that already existed as a song before the show was created? For example, The Wire using “Way Down in the Hole” or Outlander using "Skye Boat Song". Songs that were created specifically for a show (e.g. “Strange Game” for Slow Horses) don't count.

Although very often musicals on TV are a special episode of an ongoing show, are these more common now? Are there different ways to define a musical episode?

Which would you consider the best musical episodes in a non-musical series? And how about a best musical series?
