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?

Surprised nobody's mentioned Firefly yet. It's really good.

Also Pokemon , duh!

Dexter's is also really good. The video too, not just the song. Fitting and eerie and also makes me hungry every time.

True blood also fun and catchy

Also really enjoy Halt and catch fire for that 80s synth vibe.

Also, peaky blinders! Nick cave's voice is just...yeah xD

Stranger things? Cheers? Friends? Community? Lots of pretty good ones out there. Hard to choose, really.

Dexter's intro is one of those that I never skipped. Oddly mesmerizing. I can perfectly visualize it in my mind even now.

Same same! So good!

The True Blood theme is an absolute banger

[–] nyctre@piefed.social 1 points 5 hours ago

It is! Also really good for sexy time playlists, imo xD

pokemon

I actually prefer the japanese theme more.

And apart from the original intro, the Johto intro, the intro for Crystal, and the Battle Frontier opening are also really great.

One of my personal favourites is the Italien intro

Well... Usually with these things, at least in my experience is all about which version you've heard first. Also being able to understand the lyrics helps. So.. yeah, English for me. Not that I mind the Japanese version or anything, still cool.
