nice find.  i'll watch an episode or two just for the memories.  that theme song kicked ass.

I find it hard to believe that a show today would spend over a minute with the theme song. Back then, the theme song was an countdown to get out of the bathroom or kitchen because the show starts soon. Nowadays, you are most likely watching from your DVR anyway.

We need to start a thread with the best theme songs & opening, regardless if the show was good or not. For the the 80s, Hardcastle & McCormick was one of my opening faves. Airwolf was top notch too.

I love the pilot episode where he sucker punched famous roid muscle freak William Smith with a roll of coins in his fist after calling him a fag ((don't hate me it was the 1970's) in the men's room.

Youtube TV started recording this for me. It's fucking perfect. I love old LA. I live the old cars. I love the j turns. I love the parking lot in Malibu. The voice-mail to start every episode. Every car chase in the hills behind Santa barbara. It's fucking great.
