Your favorite TV show intros

not only is this song fucking awesome , the show was awesome.

for anyone that hasnt watched it- aliens give this guy a suit that makes him superhuman but he lost the instruction manual on how to use it properly

I legit forgot about this series and haven't watched it since the 80s, man. It was good for its time along with a few others in the 80s.

Here are ones that have been stuck in my head for 25-30+ years now:






Intro starts at 25 seconds in.




One of my favorite openings of all time

I could list many more but these ones stand out the most.

Edit: Fuck it, threw in one more:



No other intro has ever filled me with foreboding dread like this one has since I was a little kid in the 80s and we watched it every week along with Monsters. It still sends chills down my spine today tbh. Also, fuck that episode with the long arm white monster in the closet.

The Wire. I really liked how they used a different version of the same song for the opening of each season.


Darkwing Duck. Pretty much all of the Disney cartoons from this era had awesome openings, but Darkwing Duck is my favorite.


And last, but not least, Star Trek TNG. Just pure awesome.

NOONE? SECOND PAGE REALLY?

NOONE? SECOND PAGE REALLY?

It was mentioned in literally the second post.

I sometimes find my self howling the chorus to this song when I'm alone.

Game of Thrones is fantastic because it actually accomplishes something (along with having a great theme song): It shows you what locations that particular episode will be dealing with.

Gilligan's Island is a classic, as were quite a lot of the intros from the 50s and 60s. The Twilight Zone, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Mr. Ed all had a huge impact on pop culture, just to name a few.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is up there, too, though it makes me feel sooo old realizing that it's now considered an oldie, too. Ditto for The Simpsons.

But the one I both love and miss the most is probably...



I mean, it's got fucking Vincent Price doing it!

[Oakshana]

I've always liked the original 1990s intro for Game of Thrones.



(Yes... I am fully aware this is a satire. But it's STILL well done.)

[deepr]

Star Trek: TNG. Although the best version of this theme appears in the closing titles of Star Trek: First Contact (in two variations):



Then, obviously, Knight Rider. The coolest intro of all time.



I also love the theme song to Renegade.



Then there's Airwolf, MacGyver, Alf, etc.
Stark Trek DS9 and VOY aren't bad as well.

[Sorshen]

The Expanse one is great too, someone already posted it.

[Yvaelle]

Vikings and Westworld are probably the best I've seen in the last couple years.

Dragon ball Z by far. No intro has ever got me more pumped up to watch a show.

[Daedius]

I absolutely loved WB Animation Studios during the 90s, of the lot;





And then, of course... the famous X-men intro;





Awesome stuff!

Dragon ball Z by far. No intro has ever got me more pumped up to watch a show.

Honestly, the intro of it sounds like they're saying "Dragon Dragon, FUCK the Dragon, Dragon Ball Z" ...

If that's what it takes to grant my wish, then you gotta do what you gotta do.

Always liked the creativity in the Fringe opening sequence. They would change it depending on the "circumstances" of the current episode

[BloodyAngel12]

[Ivanstone]

Game of Thrones, BoJack Horseman and Archer are cool.
