Recently started watching old 90s and 80s shows just for the fun of it, because I’m bored with all of the new stuff that’s coming out, and I fell into Knight Rider.
My review of the show so far aside, it’s got straight up the most banger theme music I have heard in a TV show in a very long time.
It got me wondering what other TV shows have really great theme songs?
Series: “From” Que Sera Sera https://youtu.be/PDd-180FQ8U
Air wolf. Never saw the show, player the NES game, but it slaaaaaps.
These answers are a testament to how much better theme songs were before the 2000s, especially for kids shows. You used to get a minute and a half of hype music to introduce new viewers to the show or psych up returning viewers. Now, even the best ones, like Gravity Falls, are less then 40 seconds.
Didn’t see anyone mention the original Attack On Titan theme, which is surprising given how popular it was at the time
To nominate a show I actually watched beyond the first season: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Simon & Simon theme was a banger
Chalk Zone.
Pokemon
Cheers
I know it’s not a serious intro, but the theme to Aqua Teen Hunger Force has been rattling around in my head for nearly 25 years. Definitely a banger in my mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcd6wU86OgI).
Battle of the Planets, original Battlestar Galactica, Space:1999, Sanford and son, The Jeffersons, Good Times
Off the top of my head, Ted and Welcome to Derry are two I never skipped
The Ted one I’ve listened to tons of times, actually
Trailer Park Boys.
Hardcastle & McCormick Magnum PI The Fall Guy
