Moving to: m/AskMbin!

The expanse

Game of Thrones used to get me so pumped.

Cowboy Bebop was the first thing that came to mind, but now I'm wondering how many modern shows actually have banger intros that we all automatically skip.

From my childhood and adolescence: a lesser-known show called The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Fresh Prince, X-Files

Anime choices: Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hellsing

21st century: Sopranos, Game of Thrones (I almost didn't want to, but the music never let us down)

The Better Call Saul Open Intro is very iconic and it looks cool too, i suggest checking it off

Firefly.

Yeah, it's sappy, but somehow catchy, too.

I have a few:

• Babylon 5 : The opening monologue and music score was amazing every time. Definitely an older vibe with this one with flashing images of the cast up as it progressed, but it was very good.
• Westworld Season 1 : I think it was mainly the same for later seasons with slight variations. The simple piano tune building for the whole intro was beautiful and while watching back to back would absolutely let it run maybe every other episode, or every third.
• Eureka Season 1 : The score by Mothersbaugh and quirky art is really fun and conveys the definite style of the show.

Star Trek Voyager
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The Returned (Original French version)

I like the intro to TruBlood more than the show itself.

I really like the opening for Stargate SG-1. Mainly because that orchestral score is great. It's pretty iconic for the series and is pretty recognizable. https://youtu.be/aafGXNWHGaw

Hands down Peacemaker for me

Never once skipped that intro while watching the show.

Catchiest: Adventure Time
Memorable: Game of Thrones (are /r/freefolk here yet?)
Favourite: Futurama - watched every single one for the different slogans and classic cartoon clips

Tv series:
Memorable and really enjoyable: 24 (Jack "fucking" Bauer FTW) and Alias (the J.J. Abrams vehicle)
Favourite: Cowboy Bebop (the anime obviously)
Beautiful score: The Expanse

Twin peaks.

The theme from Sherlock along with Holmes' little "the game is on" leimotif were pretty great.

Same with the driving beat from the Arrow title card — in fact I'm a big fan of Blake Newly in general, but it's the track "Setting Up the Lair" from the first season that plays most of my favourite elements.

But the title sequence that stands out best for me is the 2010 version of the Doctor Who theme. The music from that season in particular has always hit me hard, but all of Murray Gold's work on the show was phenomenal.

Gotta be Futurama or Bojack Horseman. I'm truly a sucker for the intro sequences that change as a series go on.

Showing my age here, but 80s and 90s had some catchy theme tunes but for me Knight Rider is my favourite

The opening song and credit sequence for Succession always got me SO HYPE.

The part after the bridge where the kids are riding on the elephant, and the piano part comes back in and strikes three times instead of two... chills every time.

Here's a bit of an unusual answer. The TV show Corner Gas is a Canadian comedy set in small town Saskatchewan. I grew up in a small town in Saskatchewan, so loved the show (it's also objectively very funny). It's a show I watched a lot as a kid, probably more times than anything. And that was all before the ages of being able to skip intros, so the iconic theme song (which references a very popular joke about Saskatchewan) was heard a lot.

Mostly I think I'm just nostalgic about it. I really hated growing up in a rural area and the show was literally the only one I had at the time that felt local (Sask isn't exactly a well known place).

As soon as I read this threds title, The Office (US)'s theme started playing in my head, so I guess that.

Dark

Or Peaky Blinders

Probably the wire or sopranos, they feel very iconic and nostalgic to me.

Guardians of the galaxy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cbAfhBNQ2qU

The opening for the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime (Ready Steady Go by L’Arc-En-Ciel) is burned into my mind forever. For some reason it makes me cry a little bit now.

When you walk through the garden

You gotta watch your back

Well, I beg your pardon

Walk the straight and narrow track

Gerry Anderson's UFO (1970)

For All Mankind and Foundation's are both incredible. Didn't skip them once. Someone over at Apple TV really cares about strong openings.

The Rockford Files! That phone rings then it's just 2 minutes of unmitigated joy

M.A.S.K. 1985

House MD (with Hugh Laurie) there were two cuts of the opening theme depending what region it was teardrop by massive attack or bab O'Reily by the who. And then often closing to "can't always get what you want" by rolling stones

It will always be TNG for me, but all the Star Trek shows have great intros IMO.

SPACE

The final frontier...

It's from a while ago, but I just love the campy set and that Danny Elfmin score from Tales from the Crypt

@Merlu Scott Pilgrim vs The World title card with performance

Batman Beyond came to mind right away.

The opening to Black Sails fucking slaps. I usually skip intros after a few episodes, but I almost never skip the Black Sails intro.

Death Sex + Robots on Netflix. Love how the icons change for each episode.
