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?

sanford and son’s theme is a segment from a quincy jones song called streetbeater. the full song has a great solo section
golden girls and i’ll fight you if you say different
I like Superjail (dont know if it was a song already or if it was made for the show)
A lot of ranma 1\2 songs are also really good
Zankoku na tenshi no you ni…
Arthur theme song kinda slaps.
Sometimes when I’m bored and just to fill the space I will start singing this. It’s a great theme song.
I commented because I was thinking of the theme song for Doug and then I listened to this because I wanted to hear it again and I realized it’s a completely different song.
It’s still a great song, though. It’s just not Doug.
Adding an obscure one: Judy Greer did a short-lived sitcom with Chris Parnell in the late 00s called Miss Guided. She played a high school guidance counselor. The theme song was played for all of about 2-3 seconds at the beginning of every episode, but that was enough for me to find the band. The song is Beautiful Possibility by The Lisa Parade.
Fairly Odd Parents might not be the best, but it is worth mentioning.
Definetely one of the most iconic for younger generations!
So many really good ones. I’ll add a couple I haven’t seen:
1970s Battlestar Galactica Buck Roger’s Original Brady Bunch (I hate it, but damn if it isn’t catchy) Happy Days You’re The Worst Coupling Better Things
Breaking Bad.
I don’t like theme songs…
Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, hands down the best there ever was.
Edit: I take that back. Lupin The III Part 2, hands down the best there ever was.
I hadn’t thought of this for probably 40 years and those neurons just woke up to remember the lyrics.
If the Theme from Hawaii Five O doesn’t get your heart pumping, you should call your doctor
Great theme song.
This is the kind of music that should play when you and the boys are out on the prowl.
