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?
Highlander https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UyPWpP6w8AA although that’s also cheating
Swat Kats https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H0IQBWWabuU
Yeah, Queen is definitely cheating.
Whatever the film company paid Freddie Mercury and Co. to do the music to the original Highlander movie was not enough.
But I don’t think I can say the same about SWAT Kats.
If you take out the zwoops and the fwooms and other sound effects that they used to match it to the animation, it’s just a really middling 80s guitar track.
I just remembered some more. MASH, Twin Peaks and X-files.
Best is not cheating. Is best.
