While looking for a YouTube clip of the intro to post in the comments, along with my chagrin, I stumbled across this, which got me kinda excited...

OK - who ever these folks are, it seems like they just randomly chose 10 shows they liked, and put up what ever theme song that went with it.
Among the lamest of lists I've ever seen.
The Ballad of Serenity vid is great. Is she dubbing that from another artist? The sound isn't queued up w/ the video, so it's kinda hard to tell. Great voice,
Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"
Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

Nah, that's her singing, but the audio isn't synced for some reason. I've seen a lot of AVI videos that have that problem.

What? No love for the Ben 10 theme?

Of all of them I'd say that only Scrubs could be described as catchy. The others may be appropriately themed to their show but that doesn't make them catchy.
Off-hand I can name these catchy themes:
Banana Splits
The Monkees
Scrubs (as mentioned by the list)
Rockford Files
A-Team
Red Hand Gang
Only Fools And Horses
Blackadder
Red Dwarf
Doctor Who (depending on the version)
Magnum PI
Plus I could possibly include Buffy, Quantum Leap, Robot Chicken, Due South as well.
I'm sure there are plenty more catchy themes ou there....

While that list is absolute garbage, I can't stop laughing at the Jabba the Hutt parody of the Parks and Rec theme song. By the way, Parks and Rec and The Office and other shows on that list are very good in my opinion, but I never cared at all about their theme songs. I like the theme to the office but "Most Catchy?" Meh.
I started to do my own list and rail against them for excluding shows like Friends, Cheers, A-Team, The Jeffersons and Happy days but then I read their rule that the shows has to be post 2000 and discovered that's really hard. Besides Firefly what can we really add to the list?

I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.

Doctor Who (depending on the version)
Original 60s/70s version, made by gluing together lots of bits of magnetic tape, of course - Duh! Actually the 11th Doc version music is starting to grow on me to the extent that, by the end of this series I might not hate it, nah, Delia Derbyshire or nuthing.
Meanwhile, most of the Gerry Anderson shows had notable theme tunes, esp. Thunderbirds.
Now, Best SF theme, for me, would have to be the Also Sprach Zarathustra overture (2001 and, if my childhood memories are to be trusted, the Apollo programme coverage). Hell, the whole score for 2001 was inspired (even if it wasn't original). Not sure about catchy, though (esp. the Ligetti bits!)
Doctor Who a close second, though.
Star Wars theme? Pah. Thunderbirds is better!

Star Trek TOS
Ahem:
Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star-woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.
