Not all of them do, but it probably seems that way. Psychological research has shown that people often have an easier time remember songs than remembering spoken facts. That is why on radio as far back as the late 1920s/early 1930s, some advertisers began using music in their commercials. Radio shows also had theme songs, and this helped people to recall which show they had been listening to, when they were contacted by ratings companies who wanted to know the most popular programs.
TV has kept this custom of using a theme song because of the widespread belief that music helps people identify the show they were watching. And it is worth noting that some TV theme songs have become as popular as the show they come from-- in the 1980s, for example, the theme from "Hill Street Blues" became a big hit on top-40 radio stations.

What TV show theme music makes you smile?
Mostly a bunch of shows from the 80s and 90s. 'Alf', 'Growing Pains', 'Family Matters', 'Step by Step', 'Friends', the 90s X-Men animated series, 'Teanage Mutant Ninja Turtles', and much more. Classic TV was great for theme songs. After the 90s, shows started using more popular music, shortening the theme song, or dropping it all together. These days I can't think of any show with a theme song besides maybe the recent 'Big Bang Theory,' which my wife sure loved to sing everytime it was on.
