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?

Pink Panther!
Easy. Firefly
Tank! by the Seatbelts for Cowboy Bebop is probably one of the best openers of all time for anything.
Cheers
Cowboy Bebop. TANK! by The Seatbelts is peak.
Enterprise. It’s been a long time.
Air wolf. Never saw the show, player the NES game, but it slaaaaaps.
Didn’t see Golden Girls mentioned yet so I will nominate that one.
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
I like a lot of the themes from the 70s.
Taxi, Hawaii 5-o, Benson, MASH, etc.

Hardcastle & McCormick Magnum PI The Fall Guy
How I met your mother had a banger of an opening IMO. For anime it’s Dan DA Dan season 1. But 321 Contact and the Fraggle Rock themes are the best.
