Favorite intro to a show?

The original Netflix Daredevil show's intro is perfection. I would never skip that intro if I watched 100 straight episodes in a row (if only so many episodes existed).

Batman The Animated Series

BoJack Horseman

Game of thrones.

What We Do In The Shadows

Westworld’s intro feels like watching a robot learn to play the cello and have an existential crisis. If you like that vibe, check out Severance’s opening.

Fringe. Plus they did alternate ones for certain episodes and stuff. Just very well done.

True Detective Season 1

X-Men TAS and Batman TAS. I know, they are cartoons, but both are absolute bangers. Also, The Simpsons with the couch gag is pretty close to GOAT status.

I'm old, so: – The X-Files – The Wire – The Sopranos and some others I can't think of right now

Bill Nye the Science Guy!

Pokémon is the very best

1000 percent Peacemaker I've asked my brothers to have my family and friends do a shot for shot live remake at my memorial service EITHER SEASON - It makes me happy

Golden Girls

Malcolm in the Middle. It’s without a doubt a perfect snapshot of the late 90s early 2000s. It also encapsulates the energy of a chaotic household full of boys. Cartoons, trouble, chaos, and funny moments.

Peacemaker

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Cold open followed by funny title cards. Different every episode

Black sails easily

The 100 (every intro changes visually to reflect locations and events in the current episode)

No one has said Dexter yet? Such a great opening.

Ducktails

Twin Peaks, both the original and The Return.

Succession. The music is perfect. The whole sequence just says so much about the family.

So you were askin' Listnook a question the other daaaaaay...

Raised by Wolves. beautiful piece of music with great spacey visuals (i also like the extended version of the expanse)

Mad Men.

Westworld

Cowboy bebop

Star Trek Enterprise

Good Omens

Stranger Things

Westworld might be my favourite too. But some honourable mentions: * Black Sails * Severance * The Crown

The Doctor Who intro is a classic

Mad Men.

True Blood.

[My Brilliant Friend](https://youtu.be/8OtppN1EKBs) \- there are so many characters in this show and the opening introduces you to many of them and their families. The intro even changes part way through season 1 as the characters age. Max Richter's soundtrack is fantastic.

Buffy

Samurai Champloo

Nothing can top peacemaker

I used to like series 1 of House. Although, mainly due to Massive Attack.

Game of Thrones

Fraggle rock

Daredevil (Netflix)

WestWorld

Apart from Westworld and Game of Thrones (both being composed by the legendary Ramin Djawadi), Silo has a similar and almost as good intro IMO.

LOST What the show is called, droning music, 5 seconds long

Peacemaker! It’s the only show that I absolutely never skip the intro 😂

CHiPs

I scrolled way too far without seeing Dexter. Psych is also a masterclass in updating the intro for special episodes. Recently, Murderbot and Duster had outstanding opening sequences, too.

Feel like Severance does a real good job. Feels so right for the show

How could you top iconic Mc Gyver or Knight Rider intros and melodies?

Halt and Catch Fire - an underrated AMC gem with Mackenzie Davis and Lee Pace. Legendary.

Warrior, Black Sails, WestWorld, Sopranos, True Blood, True Detective S1 Only long intros I wouldn’t skip. Warrior is the king though—the instrumental is fire as f***, the visuals bang like a m***********, and it just gets you in the f****** zone to watch some f****** grade A kick ass shit man f***!!!

Since everyone will say Cheers or Sopranos, in going left field with Bananaman: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK6aVsps10I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK6aVsps10I)

**LOST** (bumm)

100% Game Of Thrones

Late to the party, but a recent rewatch has reminded me how much I love the intro for "Burn Notice".

Dexter

Babylon S3 & S4 rock Also, the original Outer Limits

The Office (US) Even when I binged the show I'd always watch the intro.

Star Trek The Next Generation

>Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand >I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me. I have a real love/hate relationship with Firefly, but I never skip the intro.

DanDaDan

To this day nothing's beat Star Trek. The OG Star Trek. The iconic music . . . Shatner. "Space, the final frontier . . . "

The Good Place.

Lost because even a 15 second skip is too fast. Also Peacemaker

The Expanse

Succession intro music is such a banger

Original Dexter

Weeds. Having a different band play the intro each week was awesome.

Black Sails. Instantly get hyped for any episode after listening to that banger and those visuals.

Band of Brothers. Outlander.

True Blood. I am currently watching DTF St. Louis, and I love the intro.

The first season of True Detective was amazing.

Game of thrones still wins this. That sound track and the little map cgi did so much work for the show.

The Game of Thrones intro was pretty epic. But the way they reused it in the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was one of the best ever

[Doom Patrol](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK5oeV_JYy0), never once skipped, will even go back to watch it again.

Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer is my favorite intro

Quantum Leap (the original) Even as a kid I loved how they were able to explain this complicated premise so quickly.

Right now I gotta go with yellowjackets. Never skip that intro

Cowboy Bebop

American Gods

Probably Too Many Cooks https://youtu.be/QrGrOK8oZG8?si=HR6YoPT7vUHd1cmJ

Honestly it is the opening of this new adult animation on Netflix no one talks about called “Strip Law” I thought it was very good, and this opening is such an encapsulation of how America feels right now https://www.tiktok.com/@ismailov553/video/7609236179241716999

Succession The Wire The Sopranos Game of Thrones

Cowboy Bebop

Darkwing Ducks intro is so good it masks an otherwise unremarkable show

The A-Team, Airwolf and Magnum PI all kick off their shows perfectly.

The expanse. Never skipped one. Little details on what happened or about to happen are worked in. It's a very nice intro.

Jack Ryan. The visual synergy in the intro is unlike anything I've ever seen.

St. Elsewhere.

Black Sails

So this isn’t my fav intro to a show…. I never realized how important Paula Cole’s ‘I don’t want to wait’ was to the DAWSON’S CREEK intro until Hulu wouldn’t pay for the rights to the song and changed it for their streaming. Not the greatest intro of all time - but that song helped make that show iconic, and Vice Versa.

I like the twangy guitar riff in the breaking bad intro. Also the Clone High theme song

Peep show, succession and Detectorists

Thundercats (1985)

Gravity Falls
