Can you come up with any contemporary TV shows that have great intro songs the way shows from the '70s and '80s did?

1 Answer

Answer :

The frightening thing is I know the rest of the lyrics to that song, but I can’t remember which show it went to. I think most contemporary shows seem to use existing songs. My favorite, for example, is/was the opening to John From Cincinnati‘s use of Joe Strummer’s Johnny Appleseed. Edit: Was it Family Ties? Science, I’m a dork.
