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?

Didn’t see Golden Girls mentioned yet so I will nominate that one.
Off-topic: Is this the only post across all of Lemmy whose comments are nearly 2x as many as its upvotes?

Air wolf. Never saw the show, player the NES game, but it slaaaaaps.
Pink Panther!
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
Easy. Firefly
Tank! Cowboy Bebop
I fuck with this hard.
This is the kind of music I would play to psych myself up for some hardcore diamond star level shenanigans.
I feel like now I need to watch Cowboy Bebop because I’ve never seen it.
It’s in my top 10 favorite shows of all time.
And I have REALLY good taste.
Well gee, then go on with the rest of the list. How can you just tantalize us like that and not feel bad?
You might really like this one then. The show is one of the best ever too.
One of my all time favorites! Well worth the watch. Saw a few episodes of the live action and dug that too.
WATCH IT YESTERDAY FR
Hell yeah.
There’s an extended version posted on YouTube last month that absolutely slaps.
Thanks for this! Best video I’ve seen in a good while. Yoko Kanno and SEATBELTS fucking rock!
Tank! by the Seatbelts for Cowboy Bebop is probably one of the best openers of all time for anything.
Trailer Park Boys.
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
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).
