This is an old one but the end of the Third Watch - After Hours episode

[shittysoup]

Third Watch was such an incredible show. I feel like it's underrated/overlooked today when people talk about some of the best tv shows.

[picturemegone]

I love Third Watch. I'm still haunted by the Alex scene.

[josiefier]

Yes! And I always appreciate not being the only one to mention Third Watch.

Hide and Seek in The OC. JK, but I'll alway be glad for it as it gave the world 'Dear Sister'.

Scrubs had quite a few music moments that I'll forever love, but I think the most effective for me was 'Waiting For My Real Life To Begin'. More recently, I really loved the usage of Vienna in The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

Scrubs had really good musical moments. Joshua Radins song Winter playing in season three makes me bawl.

[vibeology_e]

I love finding out that Joshua Radin was featured in Scrubs is because he's good friends with Zach Braff. It just makes the song feel more special.

The use of hide and seek in the OC and subsequently Dear Sister ruined any potential for that song to be used in tv/film. When it started playing in Normal People I started laughing bc it felt like a parody even though it was supposed to be serious.

Absolutely!! Don’t Think Twice was already a favorite song so when they used it in this context? Brilliant. Perfection. Mad Men was such a great show.

[bttrsondaughter]

The look between Don and Sally in that last clip you posted always destroys me

[hereforthedrama]

same, it's like she gets a glimpse of who he actually is for the first time.

The oc had so many iconic musical moments. Fix You when Cal died, mmm whatcha say when Marissa shot trey, if you leave by nada surf when anna leaves newport, paint the silence by south in the model home when Marissa realises its the same model home they burnt down, honey and the moon when ryan leaves newport the first time, seth and summers spiderman kiss to champagne supernova. i could keep going man!

[reach_the_end]

Yeah the OC should have its own list, I downloaded so many songs because of that show. I fell in love with Death Cab and Alexi Murdoch because of The OC, and I still listen to all the soundtrack CDs (especially the Chrismukkah one!).

Inside Your Head
We Used to Be Friends (Dandy Warhols?)
Insomnia by Electric President
Running Up That Hill by Placebo
For The Widows in Paradise by Sufjan Stevens

That whole show was great music.

The OC Mixes were the besssst

[silveryxcrimson]

The OC mixes always take me back to high school. I still listen to them from time to time.

[clymnestra]

I loved how HTGAWM would use Love Runs Out lol, although my fave musical moment in the series is when they played "No One's Here To Sleep" building up to the iconic "Why is your penis on a dead girl's phone??????"

My personal fave (and fuckin hell why is it impossible to embed youtube videos from mobile):

[induced_panic]

I love the music in Westworld so much. I think this was one of my favorite episodes.

[thereinventions]

Ramin Djawadi is one of the best things about the show.

[breaktheice89]

yesss to both scenes you mentioned
