    My favorite intros are Bebop, Bojack, and Malcolm in the Middle, probably in that order

    Shout-out to Kimmy schmidt

    If I’m nostalgic, Cheers and the wonder years. Maybe fresh price.

    The winner is original Addams Family

      As much as GoT has shit the bed in the later seasons, the intro sequence including the title theme was always (and still is) amazing!

    The Expanse is one I never skipped once on watch or rewatch (I was even annoyed that it wasn’t regular until season 2).

      I fucking love the lore that develops as the seasons continue. I love the expanse intro.

    Star Trek: Enterprise

    A more serious list:

    • House MD
    • Dexter
    • Daredevil

      House is a great one, but only the Teardrop version. It hit the perfect mood for the serious tone of the medical subjects. It also makes me weirdly nostalgic for watching that in the mid-00’s with my family late at night

      Faith of the Heart has grown on me a lot these last few years. I probably just miss the show.

        I recently rewatched it, and when I got to season 3 and they made it even worse by adding some more beats to it I was traumatized.

    So many to choose from… I’ll just say Jessica Jones and Boston Legal because I haven’t seen them here.

    Worst? Star Trek Enterprise comes to mind

    Best? I always loved the rebooted battlestar galactica intro

  • lemming741@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Slow Horses intro is called Strange Game Written and performed by Mick Jagger m.youtube.com/watch?v=tegw25qqbAs

  • MTK@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Not the best per se but I really liked Severance

    source
  • NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Money Heist and more recently Arcane League of Legends

    source
  • AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Babylon 5 has the best intros to a show. It changed each season.

    source
  • Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Season 1 of The Wire.

    It built an atmosphere of shady incompetence in the police and gang members alike.

    It was interesting how it was redone for each season.

    It was the same song but different angles like each season took a different look at what makes crime move through all the parts of society.

    Dark has an amazing intro. So damn good.

    I’m a huge fan of shows that just have a title splash screen and play the intro credits unobtrusively over the first 1/3 of the show.

    I always skip intros, if I can, mostly because I binge stuff and those intros can be minutes long, serving absolutely no purpose. I especially hate when they are 10 minutes into the episode, and I have to wake my keyboard up to skip them.

      Breaking Bad was good in this regard.

  • vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    X-Files song is a banger. Sequence goes to Westworld.

    I think Munsters is a close 2nd for song.

  • FrChazzz@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Voyager has the best opening theme music in all of Star Trek, hands down.

    Personal favorite opening song/sequence? Space Ghost Coast to Coast also Knight Rider

    Tru Blood

    30 Rock, hands down. That jazzy into is just ti die for!

  • whotookkarl@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Best X-Men animated series, worst Night court

    source
  • _thebrain_@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Itay not be the opening song or sequence, but the opening scene in the umbrella academy were always amazing when they did a song/dance number. Their soundtrack spanning the whole series were full of bangers… But the best has to be season three episode one, the dance off with the sparrow academy.

    Community, original Magnum PI, Buck Roger’s, original Battlestar Galactica. All had great songs that just didn’t get old.

    • corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      New Battlestar had a great space theme, full of hope and struggle. It really suited the series.

        I tried to remember it when I was typing that out but I couldn’t. Meanwhile, I have the old one as a ringtone! Loved both shows, though.

    The Gravity Falls and Inside Job themes go hard

    source
  • benignintervention@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    The intro for Scavengers Reign is the absolutely perfect complement to the show. Ethereal, melancholic, and tense, just like the atmosphere of the story. Also it’s super short. Watched it every episode

    source
  • crozilla@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I’ve always thought that a bad intro song tanks a show (back when you couldn’t skip them). Conversely, a good one makes people stick around and give the show a chance, so it’s more likely to succeed.

    Re: the OP question: Magnum PI (OG) SNL intro music 30ROCK Friends (ugh, I know, it was catchy…) Venture Bros. Archer Futurama …and more!
