Psych
2006–2014USA NetworkCrime
'I Know, You Know' — a theme re-recorded in a different genre for special episodes, which makes it a rare case of a comedy varying its own titles.
Psych kept one opening title sequence, 47 seconds long, across season 4.
It arrived on USA Network in 2006, when Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Monk and The Dead Zone were also on the network.

Dexter

The Wire
The same song recorded five different ways. Every season re-cuts the images and hands 'Way Down in the Hole' to a new artist, matching the institution that season is about.
