Your top 3 TV series intro themes - Part I: Instrumentals

Tools    





The reason for 3 choices is that everybody gets the chance to post his/her favourites rather than one person posting a list of 20 youtube videos.

I guess I may as well start with mine.

1. East Of Eden (1981)

This also happens to be my all-time favourite American mini-series therefore it may affect the way I experience the music. Nevertheless, it's one of the few tunes (or maybe the only one) that almost makes my cry.

2. Oshin (1983)

A Japanese telenovela of sorts that my mother used to watch. It sounds slightly euro-flavoured and I think it's simply exquisite.

3. Kane & Abel (1985)

Based on Jeffrey Archer's potboiler this theme encapsulates the pomposity and American faux-royalty in the most beautiful and exciting way possible.



Tough, there so many greats to consider.

1. Kolchak: The Night Stalker (couldn't find the original opening theme)


2. Checkmate


3. Perry Mason



I'd give her a HA! and a HI-YA! Then I'd kick her.
It was hard to narrow it down to only three, but these are the three themes that came out on top for me:

Battlestar Galactica (1978)


Airwolf (1984)


Quantum Leap (1989)

The Rockford Files



Bojack Horseman is where u need the full version, and not the small portion used in the show



i prefer classic Who, but the New Who's theme sounds better to me

Very interesting choices.
The themes I'm familiar with: Mission Impossible, Airwolf, Doctor Who and The Rockford Files (and yet I expected to hear the tune of Hawaii Five-O, I don't know why).

The music from Bojack Horseman sounds wonderful, kinda AIR-esque.



Let's do a few more...


From the 1980 anthology series. Some episodes sucked but the theme always made me feel excited and nervous.


I have yet to see the (short-lived) revival series but the classic one had some great water cooler moments.


One of Bill Conti's many great tunes and this one may as well have been the theme to a sci-fi series.
But then again, this short-lived prime time soap ended like this

Out-and-outrageous!



In this thread it's about the music.
