Just watched the trailer for The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington:
http://flicksided.com/2014/05/25/denzel-washington-the-equalizer-first-trailer/
I'm not optimistic on the movie as a whole but it made me start thinking that I REALLY liked the theme song for the original. I wish they'd carry over the music but I doubt it will happen...
So what's your vote?
I'm going to ignore cartoons and comedies, so for me it goes in no particular order:
-
A-Team
-
Magnum P.I.
-
Miami Vice
-
Dukes of Hazzard
-
AirWolf
-
S.W.A.T
-
Streets of San Francisco
-
Hawaii 5-0
-
Simon & Simon
-
Knight Rider
The Rockford Files, Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, and Law & Order.
Easy.
Freaks and Geeks
Joan Jetts "bad reputation" as a theme? Hell yes.
Dukes of Hazzard has got to be close to the top of the list.
Mission Impossible.
Chuck.
And just one cartoon.
Pinky and the Brain.
I'm sure there are others, but that's enough for now.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rifleman...

I'll toss in a suggestion of "The Rat Patrol"....

That's a fine list, but there's one glaring omission:

You guys are failing. There is only one answer: Rawhide.
And I'll throw in this funk masterpiece:

And wonder aloud how no one he's mentioned this yet:

Also, the Stephen King miniseries "Golden Years" used Bowie's song of the same name. that was pretty rad.
Several episodes of the final season of the Golden Girls used "Raining Blood" by Slayer. At least that's how I remember it.
And the musical version of "Fuzz" was epic:

Really, nobody said Peter Gunn yet?
Peter Gunn Theme
The original Starsky & Hutch theme set the mood pretty good too
Season 1 theme
I like the Strike Back theme song. Short Change Hero by The Heavy...

One of those newer sitcoms that the studios didn't think would make it past a few weeks so they didn't bother to make a theme song for it..

Sons of Guns "Shelter Me" is a pretty good song, but I'm afraid the entire thread starts and ends at Knight Rider.
