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?

    Game of Thrones has got to be up there. Very catchy and fairly unique, but it really captures the essence of (the best parts of) the show.

    The themes to Foundation and Severance are also both really in tune with their respective shows.

    But for me, the theme to The Expanse is my favorite. Again, it captures the essence of the show, and also like the show it’s pretty underrated.

      My college professor gave me the first book of the Game of Thrones series, and I hated it so much.

      And because of that, I just, I’ve never watched the series. Some friends of mine had it on midway through the first episode, and the only time that it caught my attention was when there were titties on the screen. Like, I do not give the first fuck about Game of Thrones.

      I have yet to see either the Expanse or Foundation.

      I have them both in my to watch list, but I can’t really comment on their themes yet.

      But Severance? I’ve watched every episode of Severance, I could not tell you what the theme song is from that show. Even if it’s really good, it’s also very, very forgettable, which, admittedly, probably fits with the theme of the show very well.

      I feel like GoT wins, both for the theme and the intro itself. It’s instantly recognizable.

      I like the Expanse theme, but I don’t think I would know it if I heard it out of context.
