On Tuesday, August 7, <a href="http://rhino.com/">Rhino Records</a> released not just one but TWO CD compilations of theme songs from animated comedy and action TV series past and present, from the popular and classic to the obscure and forgotten. Just about every major animation studio is represented, and even a few shows' themes from minor (and defunct) studios were included in these collections.
