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
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
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
Chalk Zone.
Pokemon
Cheers
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
Pink Panther!
