For the longest time (and still today), show intros were primarily clips from the show cut with B roll set to some song.
Now, especially for streaming shows, it’s popular to have expensive-looking intros that are artistic and creative (think of the paper craft intro for Game of Thrones.) It feels more like art that attempts to set a mood as opposed to showing glimpses of characters, scenes, and settings from the show.
What was the first show to do this?
