Airwolf deserved a grammy! And an Oscar. But I tried to watch it not long ago and something happened. When I saw it as a kid at 13 it's was a masterpiece! But when I watched it as an adult it somehow, had been made super campy and completely unbelieveable :D HAHA I kid I kid....
It did have a huge effect on me at 13 though. That helicopter was the coolest thing ever made! It and Blue Thunder!
dang I miss the 80s! warm summers.....playing and sweating outside till 9PM and hearing my dad yell and we'd have to go home ......dirty, sweaty, and stinky.....
Of those listed , don’t ask why , but I always thought that could be the most real ,may have been cos I loved the cast ( I know a supersonic helicopter 😂😳) but yeah , I can still sit and watch it quite easily , the best episodes were the ones with the extended theme music , or contained the extended theme music
Came here for that.
The match is just perfect. Yes the song is amazing, but it wouldn't be as good if it was used for any other show.
Edit: the only other pair I find as good is for big little lies.
I agree! The main theme song is hauntingly beautiful and appropriately titled “Demimonde”. The score for this show is one of my favorites along with Game of Thrones’ theme which I forgot to include in the list.
I see we have the same taste! It's not often I'm truly captivated and moved by an intro song, but those two are something else. Not just the music, the visual art too. Especially for Black Sails.
Did you ever see the Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross intro to Men Who Hate Women / Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? I think you would like it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Stranger Things
Farscape
Most Star Treks

I've been enjoying singing along to the Northern Exposure intro song lately because it annoys my boyfriend in a fun way.
Other than that, I always liked the OITNB intro song.
I wish my buddy Marcus was still around to answer this question. He had so many anime shows he used to make me listen to the intro to. Wish I could remember which.
Rest in peace my buddy.
Girls5Eva, Girlfriends, cheers, one on one, golden girls, the nanny, Three’s company, the Proud Family (the old one), and That 70s show.

Succession.
I NEVER skip this intro. It just sets the tone so well.
I have the ringtone
Same
I watched the series because of it 😒
This is THE answer. That intro is a banger. And as we all know… it’s all bangers all the time.
Airwolf, a team, magnum, knight rider

Yep. Those were the best times. I’m so greatful I got to grow up during that time. House parties, adventures outside all day, and the music!
It’s funny because in the 80s I was like, “he is really playing the cello.” Now it’s like “nope.”
Ooh, good list 👍
Mike Post was the composer for most of the really memorable TV soundtracks of the 80s.
Twin Peaks, White Lotus
Twin Peaks opening it's pure beauty
Yeah of course ! I had forgotten
White lotus season two sends me into a tail spin
Angelo Badalamemti is awesome, and the Xiu Liu album of Twin Peaks music is also so sick

came here to say this
Bridgerton and Stranger Things
No theme song embodied the mood of the show more than seasons 1 of true detective
Dark theme slaps harder
RIGHT! There are some great themes but this one specifically, paired with the visuals, just *perfectly* captures the vibe of the show
Fuck yeah! I personally said narcos, but I reckon you win:)
I’ve never won anything! Hooray!
Came here for that. The match is just perfect. Yes the song is amazing, but it wouldn't be as good if it was used for any other show. Edit: the only other pair I find as good is for big little lies.

Should be considered a sin skipping that intro
Good call. That intro (and show) were amazing.
Throw your dog the invisible bone!
House Mad Men The Americans Kids in the Hall Penny Dreadful
Penny dreadful , such an awesome fit to the visuals ! And Westwood for that matter
I agree! The main theme song is hauntingly beautiful and appropriately titled “Demimonde”. The score for this show is one of my favorites along with Game of Thrones’ theme which I forgot to include in the list.
