You hear that music and it takes you right back to the old days. I could probably post a ton but I'll limit myself to a few favorites.

Old school Dr. Who


Knight Rider - absolutely iconic intro


Watch out Boss Hogg!


The A-Team, another all time classic


One more, friggin CHiPs dude!

i remember as a kid getting up early on a saturday morning watching SMTV or cartoon network. pokemon was honestly the first thing to come to my mind but that's a boring answer so it's these two

Its such a shame more people don't know about this show, I still watch it to this day.



And who could forget about this lovable little sex hotline operator??

Mangum, that's a good one.

How about some Simon & Simon

[Mossybrew]

You may be old, but are you OG Perry Mason old?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Such a banging tune. I used to run downstairs at 5am to watch it, for some reason in the UK, that was an ideal time to transmit it...

Edit, almost forgot this an all.

 

[LQX]

3-2-1 Contact intro makes me feel depressed and happy at the same time.



Fucking Zoobilee Zoo. The most forgotten banger 80's intro.

I dont remember one plot line in any episode ever. I just remember the characters, car, and best of all Daisy Duke. I remember drawing the orange car

Even when I was a kid, I was a total perv. Daisy Duke, Jaclyn Smith in Charlie's Angels, Markie Post and Heather Thomas in Fall Guy, old reruns of Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter), and best of all......... Benny Hill on Fox 29.

My dad loved Wonder Woman too.

Holy shit, what timing, I was in Wal-mart today and they had the complete Ed, Edd, n Eddy series on DVD! The first two seasons were the only ones ever released on DVD years ago so this was an instant grab for me. I was disappointed the movie and specials weren’t on it as I never got to see them but then when I got home I checked Amazon Prime and hell yeah, they’ve now added all of the series and movie and specials! Last time I checked, only Season 3 for some reason was on Prime, so super happy it’s all available now.

 

[BlackTron]

Ducktales was already posted, these 3 were my favorites. I picked out all my NES games based on my favorite cartoons, which means these shows are probably responsible for leading me down the path of gaming by jumpstarting me with Capcom titles.

Some proper bangers in here.

the made-for-germany intro for Mystic Knights is one of my favorites.
I say made for germany, because it's still in english not german, but it was made for the german version of the show in coorperation with the Kelly Family (who were a very big deal a few decades ago over here)



IMO if the US version had an intro banger like this it wouldn't have been cancelled so fast. the show was pretty popular in germany, and I think the theme had a lot to do with that...
compare that to the GOD AWFUL american intro and you know what I mean.



speaking of intros made for the german version of a show...
here's the German intro for Mega Man, and below it the officially released Radio Mix! YES, that thing was played on the radio.

EDIT: if we're here already, I'll just post some more made-for-germany intro bangers

Lupin III



Hellsing

 

[Sakura]

A few of these shows I don't remember watching but I do remember the OP. There is of course ReBoot as well, but someone already posted that. Pretty much just watched YTV as a kid.

it's medieval Power Rangers... Saban wanted to make his own show basically, and not entirely rely on Super Sentai for his productions

[Wheeljack539]

A number of intros that I would have contributed have already been posted, Dukes of Hazzard, Robotech, Tranformers, Voltron. So here's a few that I recall with a couple only shown sparingly but still had an impact on my young mind.

 

[DosGamer]

Silver Spoons... with that rich kid. Always thought he had the coolest life.

 

[sinnergy]

 

[Mossybrew]

Airwolf! That's a good one.

 

[Wheeljack539]

Silver Spoons... with that rich kid. Always thought he had the coolest life.

I remember that. I watched those game cabinets and pinball machines in envy.

 

[GladiusFrog]

TV used to be magical.

 

[ipukespiders]

Heather Thomas

Sure, why not
