5 on Friday - Set 4

For my Thursday Thirteen yesterday, I listed thirteen of my favorite shows currently airing on television. That prompted me to post five of my favorite TV series' theme music for my fourth 5 on Friday set.

Only one of these shows is currently airing - Spooks / MI-5. Other shows will air as reruns. But all are available on DVD.
