    I was born in ‘90. I was introduced to shows like Hunter, Night Court, Hill Street Blues, and Cheers by chance and it made me realize that ‘80s television was hands down one of the greatest eras ever

    Wow, this intro is a minute and thirty seconds that would never happen today! Not one tv show would dare have theme this long and it shows the lack of care and passion for television now compared to those days. Hunter's a great series and had one of the all time great theme songs. Seasons 3, 5 and 6 are my fav versions.

      Between this show, the A-Team, the Dukes of Hazzard, and all the old movies like the Blues Brothers and Smokey and the Bandit where they wrecked hundreds of police cars, I wonder just how many Dodge Monaco's and Plymouth Furys/Gran Furys were destroyed. Has to be thousands upon thousands. Of course they were just bland old fleet cars, but they hold a certain iconic value today and actually are hard to come by because so many were destroyed in movie and tv filming.

    The Season 5 theme was the best of all; had a kick ass rhythm.

      Yes, not only did Season 5 have an AWESOME Theme (as you point out) which I think is BEST for Beach Parties and other activities, but it also saw Scarecrow & Mrs. King Producer George Geiger taking over as Executive Producer of Season 5
      Under Geiger's Leadership, the continuing chemistry between Fred Dryer, Stepfanie Kramer and Charles Hallahan and Great Script-writing which was SO fantastic, Season 5 of HUNTER became THE Highest Rated Season of the entire series as this season became THE only Season to FINALLY CRACK the Nielsen Ratings Top 20 and it FINALLY beat Dallas in the Ratings for the last 3 straight seasons

    I know I am in the minority here, but the Season 5 theme has always been my favorite. It seems to be the most "metal" version. Having Hunter's green Dodge Monaco do a barrel roll at the end ain't bad either. --okay, tear me a new one.

    • @100percentSNAFU
      @100percentSNAFU Рік тому +1

      I love how Hunter always destroying his undercover police car was a bit of a running gag throughout the series, they kept replacing them with crappier and crappier cars and it was almost always an old Monaco or Fury, and this series was a good 10 years after the models of those cars they used were produced. Of course the real reason is they were cheap, old, expendable fleet cars that the studios bought a ton of, but the story worked.

      Every season had a different style of playing. Remember though... this was back when people looked down on 80s metal to where having it as the theme song was a big deal then. The only other time I think I heard good 80s metal on TV was when they played Only The Good Die Young by Iron Maiden on Miami Vice. Of course, the drug criminals on the boat were playing it but still.

    This was 30 years ago that Season 5 arrived
    and this was something special for so many reasons:
    after the late Roy Huggins stepped down as Executive Producer, Stephen J. Cannell Productions hired George Geiger the Executive Producer of Scarecrow and Mrs. King to become the NEW Executive Producer of Season 5 and under his leadership, The continuing chemistry between Fred Dryer, Stepfanie Kramer and the late Charles Hallahan, Fantastic Script Writing and of course, the theme song that sounds like it should be used for Beach Parties and it's my favorite as well
    HUNTER was FINALLY able to CRACK the Nielsen Ratings Top 20 and it even got higher ratings than Dallas
    Season 5 is AWESOME!

    I think this is the best season opening because I feel it captures the gritty, somewhat dirty and violent era of the decade and Los Angeles.

    Really? I had thought they had reconciled some years later, which is partially why they did the reunion movies and follow-up series. I remember reading (I think in Premiere magazine when I was a kid), the specific complaint by Kramer was that her role began getting minimized, starting with less shots of her in the opening credits sequence and followed by a smaller role in the show itself. It coincided with his producer credit.
