The openings were not just siren calls, of course, though they were that too. They were the trailers of the time. They were little movies that were meant to give you the spirit of the program you were considering watching. And even if the specific episode wasn't one of the series's better outings (quality fluctuated hugely), the opening still left you with an impression of what the show was at its best. E.g., not every episode of the original Miami Vice was a masterpiece (many were; some were not). But the opening credits sequence still gave you a hit of the prime Miami Vice feeling.
@@jeffkleist9679 Yeah, I didn't much care for TF1 but comparatively, it was easily best of the series. LOW bar. Both G.I. Joe's weren't great either. There are some pretty good animated films on both accounts, though.
What they forgot to add: opening titles became shorter because TV companies started to put more and more ads in, and the 48 mins show + 12 mind ads (= 60 mins) share became to something like 41mins-19mins and one trick to make the show shorter was to reduce the intro. (The other one is speeding up the end titles.)
Fun fact: With his fourth Emmy Award victory for his performance on Breaking Bad (2008), he tied the record of Dennis Franz (NYPD Blue (1993)) for the most wins in the category "Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series"
I was about to leave a comment about how there was no Airwolf theme song in this, but now I'll just say there was not enough. Also, Airwolf was a great show relative to other shows of its time. Airwolf, Knight Rider and A-Team. That was the golden age of TV.
The music was written by Sylvester Levay - he is very famous in the German-speaking area like Austria and Germany. He wrote also musicals like "Elisabeth" (the Austrian empress) - and he also has a flat at the famous Schloss Schönbrunn (chateau) in Vienna/Austria, because he's such a fan of empress Elisabeth.
I am so lucky to have been born in a time when it wasn’t unusual to hear your favourite TV show theme being played on the radio. “S.W.A.T”, “Happy Days”, “Welcome Back Kotter”, “Miami Vice”, “C.H.i.P’s”, “The Rockford Files”, “WKRP in Cincinnati”, “Mary Tyler Moore Show”, “The Greatest American Hero”, “Hill Street Blues”… these are just SOME of the AMAZING themes we had back in the day on the radio. Think about the amazing jazzy instrumental pieces like, “Barney Miller, or “Night Court”, or the electric genius of “Knight Rider”? “Magnum P.I” had a rockin’ theme, and “The A-Team” always made me want to suit-up for battle! Let’s not forget the sci-fi classics of “Battlestar Galactica”, or “Buck Rogers”? Heck, even “Doctor Who” switched their theme in the 80’s, and it was FANTASTIC! The music back then was so incredible! Especially the ones you could sing along to! Who could forget the lyrics to sitcoms like “Laverne & Shirley”, or “Three’s Company”? Aw, sitcoms had the best theme songs! “Good Times”, “The Jeffersons”, “One Day at a Time”, “The Facts of Life”, “Who’s the Boss”, “The Muppet Show”, “Family Ties”, “Growing Pains”… and it wasn’t just the sitcoms that had words that went to their theme music. “The Dukes of Hazzard”, and “The Fall Guy” had LEGENDARY lyrics! And, don’t get me started with the CARTOONS! “Battle of the Planets”, “G.I. Joe”, “Transformers”, “ThunderCats”, “Silver Hawks”, “Droids”, “M.A.S.K.”, “Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors”, “Inspector Gadget”, “He-Man”, “She-Ra”… NONE of those themes suck! NONE OF THEM! And to think that before I was born, there were TV show themes like “Gilligan’s Island”, “I Love Lucy”, “Bonanza”, “The Flintstones”, “Green Acres”, “The Addams Family”, “Hawaii 5-0”, “The Green Hornet”, “Peter Gunn”, “Mission: Impossible”, “Star Trek”… like, for real… AMAZING music! You know how the old saying goes… “They don’t make’em like they used to.”
Jan Michael Vincent shot a movie next to my house when I was a kid. I just walked onto their the set and went over and hung out with him for 20 min while he was waiting for them to set up his next shot, cool dude!
@@AirwolfArchive I messed up! It was a movie. “Hit list” a movie i’m sure no one saw? I did find it on UA-cam for free! Here’s the Wiki on it 😂 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_List_(1989_film)
Airwolf was awesome... The helicopter unfortunately had a sad ending in Germany crashing after transporting a little girl to a hospital. The pilot did not know the terrain while in fog killing himself, a doctor & the assistant.
If you think that's sad, look up the story of the guy who played the main character in Airwolf (Jan Michael Vincent). You will freak out when you see how he looked at the end of his life and his final years are extremely tragic.
Stringfellow Hawke played the cello on his jetty / Stringfellow Hawke played his cello whole looking wistfully at a bird of prey / Stringfellow Hawke played the cello while someone arrived at his cabin...
The way he said " It was a bad show", the tone he used was a little sarcastic and not that serious. To me this was a joke and it shouldn't be taken seriously.
I imagine a reply to be: "Hey, look at Mr. Rockefeller over here who had a VCR in 1984!" As tangent, remember when tapes of major movies cost like $70 because they were priced for the rental market?
@@EdwardTonai I got my first VCR in the late 70s, and yeah it was pretty expensive. I think by 1984 prices had come way down and lots of people had them.
Finally! Airwolf gets some mainstream recognition in the 21st century! Now if a movie studio would just take notice and make a major motion picture out of it.
A studio made an amazing film adaptation of The A-Team, and it didn't make any money. They tried to bring Knight Rider back( with a fookin Mustang, bleh!), and that didn't last long. Then you have this political climate; trying to make an Airwolf, ANYTHING, worthy of it's predecessor, is impossible. The pilot would have to be a female, that is constantly telling her male co-pilot how badass she is, and how priviliged he is, just because he's a he. Every other role in the show would have to fit some kind of representation/diversity quota(and if you go back and watch those old episodes, the weekly cast was plenty diverse,even if the leads weren't). It would end up an affront to the legacy of the show.
What a joke. He's completely wrong, not just about the show but the fact that TV today needs a proper intro. Cranston wishes Breaking Bad had this intro. 😆
Well, they were in Episode 17 of Season 3, so the show was on the outs. The first season was awesome, especially the Pilot movie. Of course, the only way to really appreciate it was if you'd watched the pilot of that godawful TV series based on the awesome movie _Blue Thunder._
Everyone loves Breaking Bad and Bryan Cranston. But whenever he says "Airwolf was a bad show" the comment section is full with "Hey man, I loved Airwolf". Perhaps he doesn't like the idea that Airwolf could track down the camper of BB in the desert in minutes and blow up the thing in seconds... Loved BB & Airwolf, JMV and Bryan Cranston ❤
"I have Airwolf. This is not code language. I am flying Airwolf because I own Airwolf. Nothing else I could say would make more sense given what I own and what I am doing at this moment."
As soon as I read this title the song started playing in my head. I had an Airwolf game for my Commodore 64, so the song played a lot for some time there.
Airwolf, and the original versions of Magnum P.I. and Macguyver were my favourite shows when i was a kid. All had awesome openings and theme songs too.
Cranston was in another video where he claimed "the hero of the show was the helicopter", going by that logic is the hero of a cliint eastwood movie his magnum? The helicopter was the means to an end, nothing more, JMV and Ernie were the hero's. First season of airwolf was great, second was soso, JMV's drinking didn't help matters and season 3 was like they knew the writing was on the wall, so much recycled finale battles etc.
Well, he’s not entirely wrong. Knight Rider was the same way. We watched those shows in those days more for the vehicles than anything else. You have to remember that it was also during the time that Transformers was starting out, so the machines and vehicles were the stars
loved that show. would love a good remake with original footage all the time instead of the same scenes recut over and over. The lengthy intro description makes sense now that I have heard it. Bryan and Conan teaching moment.
Shows like Airwolf and Knight Rider are beloved and treasured for a reason. They are 80s time capsules. If you tried to make Airwolf today it wouldn't work.
I really do miss those classic, awesome theme songs. Some were so memorable! Could you imagine being a composer of those and watching your bookings just slowly dry up as they got rid of them? Sad.
One of my buddies -- with whom I spent godawful number of hours playing Call of Duty TDM -- would always play the Airwolf theme song in the background if he gets a killstreak like chopper gunner. (for those of you who get annoyed when random people play songs through the headset, we were on party chat, so only our group of friends would hear the song. we had a blast.)
The airwolf theme is my ringtone. I loved that show. I ended up joining the military as a sensor operator. I wanted to be String but I grew up to be Dominic. I was just thinking about how much different theme songs used to be. I was watching the new Equalizer and I remember the original theme being so intense...and I don't think the new show even has a theme song.
Airwolf, Knight Rider, A-Team. Couldn't have had a more badass childhood TV experience.
agreed. after school I would always watch one of them, sometimes both, can't remember if they were on TV at the same time.
also, Magnum, Riptide and Sweating Bullets were some of my favourites when I was about 6-10 years old :)
Even V was great
@AboveAverageMan97 People always forget about Manimal.
Amen to that.
Let's not forget Manimal, Misfits of Science, Jason of Star Command, Battlestar Galactica, yeah, we had it good
Airwolf, Knight Rider and A-Team were the holy trinity of 80s action TV shows!
Don’t forget Miami Vice. 😎🌴
Yessir!
When “The Lady” pops up into the shot and that synth kicks in… the next hour was always a good time.

Greetings, Czech neighbor!
Wow! I never knew it was popular there! I was living in Prague 1999 till 2004.
i think i saw a czech dubbed macgyver, in the US lol
The 80s was the best time for theme tunes.
I was born in ’82 and Airwolf was my absolute FAVORITE TV show!! 🚁
I wanted to become a helicopter pilot, and the theme song inspired me to study music 🎼
I did one of these things...
I'm guessing you're flying apaches.
When we would hear the Airwolf theme we'd know it was BORGNINE TIME!.
Earnestly, Ernest!
Absolutely yes
my family used to watch Airwolf back in the Philippines and that theme song we would always hum/sing every-time we see a helicopter
also watched airwolf there
That intro 🎶 is 🔥.. Love the 80's
It's got staccatos and arpeggios. What more could anybody want? ... :)
One of my favorite shows of my childhood. Forever thankful to be Gen-X 🤘.
