American TV has also utilized production music, most notably with the themes for "Monday Night Football" ("Heavy Action" by Johnny Pearson) and "The People's Court" ("The Big One" by Alan Tew). Other notable examples are the Nickelodeon animated series "The Ren and Stimpy Show" and "SpongeBob SquarePants", which use well-known classical music excerpts and a wide range of pre-1960s production music cues, composed by Emil Cadkin—including many pieces familiar from their use in earlier cartoons—which were chosen for their ironic, suspenseful, patriotic and humorous effect.
