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?
In the 80s I would say either Greatest American Hero or Fame
What about Barney Miller?

This theme song inspires in me the desire to wear tie-dyed bell-bottom jeans and go walking through the city streets at noon on a Thursday.
I don’t know if it’s an all-time banger, but it definitely has a vibe.
I don’t know. For some reason, the theme song to the greatest American hero just does not do it for me. It seems very soft, if that makes any sense.
Like, it’s the kind of song I would imagine being played when I’m leaving the party early because I’ve really got to poop.
And the fame theme song was interesting. I have vague memories of it in reruns also, but I don’t think I would ever jam out to it on its own.
