Almost every TV theme from the 70’s and 80’s is nice.

Love the guitar and sax phone and the bad a$$ truck.

It was only for 3 episodes, but this is the most clever use of a villain hijacking an intro.

Evangelion was my favorite cartoon ever when I was growing up, even if until this day I can still barely understand it.

But I can relate to a lot of the themes on that list.

The best theme of the comedy series ever made.

I was going to make my own topic regarding this very topic as a “spin-off” to the Top Anime Intros thread. As I was making it, this thread popped up suggesting that there was already a topic about it. I’m going to pull some of the ones from the “Top Anime Intros” thread (that don’t really fall under that category, IMO) and bring them here. Along with linking the sources of already suggested shows. Then, I’ll suggest newer ones that nobody has said between the two threads.

I up this with a Gargoyles Theme Song without the Narration. Yes, I prefer the theme song without the narration, sorry :heart:

Crediting this person for saying it, first, but they never linked it, so I will: Link to one of the iterations of it.

Link to all S1-S7 Seasons

Link to one of the iterations of it

Link to the Intro

My own contributions (and can’t believe they haven’t been mentioned yet, in either thread :sob: ):

I can understand why these weren’t mentioned 'cause these are more of my preferences :laughing:

That’s all I got, so far.

Obviously with this character I have to throw in some love for the Mama’s Family theme:

And, since the Cheers theme was posted in the second post from '19 in this thread, I want to give a shout out to two of Gary Portnoy’s other great themes:
1.) Mr. Belvedere/“According to Our New Arrival” (probably my favorite TV theme):
a.) original aired version sung by the late, great Leon Redbone:

b.) The full version of the song from Gary Portnoy:

2.) Punky Brewster

I’ll also throw in plugs for Perfect Strangers (my 2nd favorite theme)

and Dear John
