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?
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.
Simon & Simon theme was a banger
Blue Thunder
Pink Panther!
Easy. Firefly
Cowboy Bebop. TANK! by The Seatbelts is peak.
Can’t pick just one.
MASH, The Sopranos, Lilyhammer, Berlin Station, Bosch, The Newsroom, Shameless
I like a lot of the themes from the 70s.
Taxi, Hawaii 5-o, Benson, MASH, etc.
The soprano’s
Airwolf for the win.
Damn right. Airwolf intro is the best ever
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Greatest American Hero - Great theme song but the show hasn’t aged so well IMO. I would love to see this rebooted.
WKRP in Cincinnati - Great song and really great show.
Dukes of Hazzard - Another great theme song whose show hasn’t aged so well.
