For me, it’s the 2000’s television news opening from the belgian TV named “La Une”. It rocks and brings back memories.

The expanse
I absolutely love The Expanse intro – I always let it play for the incredible song and started to notice all the changing visuals to match the progression in the show as a result.
DuckTales is one of those opening songs that I sing along with because I know the lyrics. The Expanse is one of those opening songs that I sing along with despite not knowing any of the lyrics at all.
In the spirit of ducktales. Captain Bucky O’Hare
The only lyrics I remember are his name in the chorus but it’s definitely stuck with me. Also he’s a space explorer! With that, Bucky O’Hare kind of bridges the gap between The Expanse and DuckTales in a way.
You mean my ringtone? I fucking love that opening song.
I’ve had that song stuck in my head for FOUR YEARS NOW. And I’m pretty fine with it.
Game of Thrones used to get me so pumped.
The Better Call Saul Open Intro is very iconic and it looks cool too, i suggest checking it off
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)

I can still recite most of the Cities of Gold opening almost 40 years later. For whatever reason, I really fixated on the outfits of some of the characters and the show may have partially contributed to my interest in textiles and textile-adjacent things. l may or may not made myself a Zia paper doll so I could design many dresses for her (which all included quipu made out of embroidery floss…).

The song is kinda meh, but in the anime category I gotta give a shoutout to Konosuba S2 OP for being an entire perfect mini-episode in itself
Firefly.
Yeah, it’s sappy, but somehow catchy, too.
Mal’s a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad man. He’s got a sad yet defiant song.
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.
Gotta be Futurama or Bojack Horseman. I’m truly a sucker for the intro sequences that change as a series go on.
Upvoted for Bojack Horseman. Intro constantly updates to reflect the storyline and the theme song slaps.
I like the intro to TruBlood more than the show itself.
ditto but that’s not a big achievement … show went downhill pretty fast … only kept watching for the uber smexy Deborah Ann Woll as Jessica
Star Trek Voyager
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The Returned (Original French version)I’m pretty sure Buffy’s intro is the reason why I like rock.
When someone says “check out my sound system”, that’s how I check it out 😂
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
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 clipsHands down Peacemaker for me
https://youtu.be/_mrr3UNALwwNever once skipped that intro while watching the show.
This was what I was looking for, the intro to Peacemaker never fails to brighten my day! It’s easily the most James Gunn thing imaginable and it’s brought to life for all to enjoy. I added so many songs from that show’s soundtrack onto my workout playlist, all starting with the intro song.
It is so completely perfect that I’m really curious what they’re gonna do for the Season 2 intro with new incoming characters in place of the leaving minor characters since they brilliantly used even actors in small roles as part of the big dance.
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.
Setting Up the Lair is totally on my workout playlist! Blake Neely really knows how to write a score that keeps me pushing when I start to run out of gas.
The electric guitar cover of Neely’s “Flash vs Arrow” theme by Niall Stenson is also on my workout mix, makes it feel like I’m training to survive against a metahuman which is very motivating!
Twin peaks.
