Summary: In the age of DVRs and online streaming, more people are binge-watching their favorite television shows, several episodes at a time. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Steve Knopper says new viewing habits are having an impact on TV theme songs. Knopper talks about what could be a new golden age for such songs. "My favorite example right now is Regina Spektor's great song 'You've Got Time,' which is in the opening credits of Orange Is The New Black on Netflix," says Knopper. "The more you listen to it, the more you think about the different meanings of the song. You don't want to fast-forward the credits; you find something new in them every time."
