A good opening with a memorable theme song was a staple of TV shows I watched growing up. Nowadays, we get cold opens with credits running over the first scene. I guess the networks wanted those 60 seconds to sell to advertisers.
So, let's take a walk down memory lane with a few of the best and most memorable TV theme songs/show opens from our Generation X childhood. If I missed one of your favorites, let me know!
See anyone familiar in the Kids Incorporated intro? Yep, that's Fergie...from the Black Eyed Peas.
You have to wait a few seconds until you get to the actual opening theme of the Incredible Hulk.
