If you mean no opening theme tune. The bass guitar rift was used for introducing scenes, then as the show closer.

Sometimes, not always, there’s just a discordant sound a second or two long after the cold opening.

Actually, there was an opening theme, an instrumental piece just a few seconds long, played with the title card showing the Seattle skyline.
