With March Madness in full swing, we decided to do a TV-themed bracket of our own: a no-holds-barred tournament to determine the best TV theme song of all time. After lots of heated debate, we've selected and ranked 32 of the most memorable TV theme songs ever, pitting them against each other in a winner-takes-all bracket. Over the next few weeks, we're asking you to vote for your favorite theme songs until we get a winner -- and a few songs stuck in your heads.

(2) "M*A*S*H" ("Suicide Is Painless")

The instantly recognizable melody in "M*A*S*H's" title sequence is the instrumental version of "Suicide Is Painless," a song that originally appeared in Robert Altman's 1970 film which inspired the television series. Stripped of its lyrics, which were penned by Altman's then 14-year-old son, the haunting track perfectly suited the critically-acclaimed medical dramedy's theme of facing the tragedies of war with grace and humor. Though not technically part of the music, the most memorable

Despite being a self-proclaimed "Survivor" fanatic, former "Facts of Life" star Lisa Whelchel is learning, only two episodes into this season, that watching "Survivor" is a lot different than playing "Survivor."

During last night's episode of "Survivor: Philippines," Whelchel is seen alone, crying and feeling like a complete outsider among the other castaways. "I don't feel like I'm fitting in," the recently divorced former child star laments. "I'm already on the outside and don't really have anyone that I can trust or talk to." In fact, her Tandang tribemates were already talking about eliminating her first when the time came. Luckily for Whelchel, her tribe was saved from going to Tribal Council, in part because of her outstanding performance as a caller in a three-step puzzle challenge.

With the pressures of the game and loneliness bearing down on her, how much longer can Whelchel outwit, outlast, and outplay?

What better way to celebrate the Olympics opening day than with some gold… country gold, that is!

We got an exclusive first look at ABC's "Nashville" key art, which will be used to promote the series premiering on Wednesday, October 10, at 10 PM. The ad features the buzzy new drama's leading ladies, Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere, rocking some serious gold outfits. Britton, in a pair of stark white jeans and a glittery gold top, sits on a throne-like chair made of platinum guitars while Panettiere lies at her feet wearing a tight, cleavage-baring, sparkly gold minidress and leans against her own guitar.

Check it out first on Yahoo! TV:

 

The ad does an excellent job of highlighting the show's main characters and hinting at the plot. Panettiere on "Heroes" (NBC)Beloved by TV fans for her work as Tami Taylor on "Friday Night Lights" and more recently on "American Horror Story" as Vivien Harmon, Britton plays a fading country legend who is asked by her record label to open for an up-and-coming starlet.

The brunette pop star accepted the surfboard trophy for Choice Music Group for her band, Selena Gomez and the Scene, saying it was the best birthday present ever. Kevin Hart ("Think Like a Man"), who presented Gomez with the award alongside "The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev, urged fans at Universal Studios Hollywood's Gibson Amphitheatre to sing to Gomez -- despite her "Oh, no!" pleas.

The former "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress was then surprised with sparkler-topped Sprinkles cupcakes as everybody in the theater (and we're sure viewers at home, too!), including Swift and "iCarly's" Miranda Cosgrove, belted out "Happy Birthday!" At one point during the serenade, Gomez buried her

Kim Kardashian was only married to basketball player Kris Humphries for 72 days, but that hasn't stopped her from playing a relationship expert on Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva," starting with the show's June 3 season premiere.

The 31-year-old reality TV star will appear in a three-episode arc as a juice bar hostess with a reputation of being quite the dating guru. In a previously released clip, Kardashian's character Nikki LePree advises lovesick Stacy (April Bowlby) to "make bold moves and don't leave anything on the table."

In the following exclusive sneak peek, we see if Nikki's advice actually worked for Stacy:

Even though things didn't pan out the way Stacy had hoped it would, this won't be the last time we'll see her with Nikki. Later, the two ladies' friendship develops quickly, and they make plans to open a "pakery" (where pies marry cakes!) business together.

While visiting the Peachtree City, Atlanta set, Yahoo! TV learned that Kardashian was anything but a diva while

CBS's lone midseason cop drama "NYC 22" premieres this month, taking "CSI: Miami's" Sunday night timeslot after "The Good Wife." Created by novelist and screenwriter Richard Price and boasting Robert DeNiro as one its executive producers, the series follows a diverse group of NYPD rookies tasked with patrolling the neighborhood of Harlem.

The opening sequence introduces the show's setting and characters using vibrant images that was inspired by the "Inside Out" project (www.insideoutproject.net) from the artist JR. "It was about bringing the identity of each of our characters into the Harlem landscape," explains Executive Producer Jane Rosenthal. "This is a different kind of cop show. Each rookie comes from a different walk of life, but they're unified by working the same beat. They're becoming acclimated to a new job, a new neighborhood, and responding to whatever happens on the street. Harlem is such a vibrant community, and is another important character in the series."

"GCB," ABC's buzzy new series with a once-scandalous title starring Leslie Bibb ("Talladega Nights"), Kristin Chenoweth ("Glee"), and Annie Potts ("Designing Women"), could very well be the next "Desperate Housewives."

Based on Kim Gatlin's book, "Good Christian Bitches," the Darren Star-created dramedy revolves around Amanda Vaughn (Bibb), a recently widowed mother of two who moves back to the affluent Dallas community of Hillside Park where she grew up. Upon her return, Amanda quickly finds herself at odds with the town's gossipy, church-going, designer-clad women all determined to get revenge on Amanda for the cruel deeds she exacted upon them as the alpha mean girl in high school.

"GCB" debuts on March 4, taking the Sundays at 10 PM timeslot of "Pan Am," which aired its season (and most likely series) finale on February 19. But why wait until then? Get a head start on the show now by watching the entire "GCB" pilot exclusively, right here on Yahoo! TV.
