Stylistically its like Greatest American hero - in terms of orchestra and similar years recorded

but honestly it sounds like neither.

maybe it just reminds you of 80s tv shows because its vaguely cheesy like those tv shows were?


OP here. Most likely answer.

OP, I think you're on to something, but PP just may be right that they all just sound similar. Remington Steele came to mind, but it just doesn't quite fit.

OMG some kick ass old tv show songs:

The Fall Guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4LX8PPMuOY (great lyrics)

Simon and Simon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDhz_mVcVCQ (watch out, there is some serious stank on the guitar)

Convoy (ok not a show, but a movie): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd5ZLJWQmss

Is it bad that I've taught my 6 yr old son the Convoy song? It is from 1978! WTH? And I'm a girl, but these songs rocked! Why don't we have kick ass movies/shows like this anymore? One part jiggle, one part action, one part smirky guy= good stuff.

After some intense, extensive research, I have determined that LA Law is the most similar.

This is ringing a bell, but the thing that's in the corner of my mind was a minor show, and just about everything mentioned so far was quite popular. Don't think it's any of these.

Hate that fucking song. Singer is a needy, supplicating, contemptible beta.

I'm trying, OP.. I don't think it's L.A. Law, but maybe I'm wrong. I'll think about it until it's solved...

I think the beginning resembles the piano in the Cheers theme.

Almost a year's worth! You could write a thesis on theme songs now.

That is probably the greatest tv theme song in the history of tv.

I'm glad someone brought this up. It's occurred to me occasionally since this Q was posted. St Elsewhere sounds. close, but not quite...
