In television shows involving high school aged kids, there always seems to be some type of complicated relationship that the viewers may be able to relate to, which increases their interest in the

One example of this is the show Criminal Minds. There is a theme song played at the beginning of each episode with suspenseful-sounding music. The show is a murder mystery, so this creates drama and suspense for the viewers. Another example is the television show One Tree Hill, which plays a catchy theme song to kick off each show.
