• Favorite TV Show intro?
    31 replies, posted
What is your favorite TV show intros? Intros where you have no problem to watch over and over again in anticipation of the next episode you see. I would have to say, Dexter. The symbolism is great. And also It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. A small part at the beginning that relates to the title of the episode, then the scenes going around Philly with the silly music really really sets the tone of the show.

If this counts as a TV Show... Batman: The Animated Series [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A71i0a5x-qA&feature=related[/media]
All five Babylon 5 intros, I'd post them but they're quite spoilery. But, here's the first season intro... my least favorite but it's good nonetheless, the thing I liked most about the intros was the music mainly. [video=youtube;2FD01pZtN9w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FD01pZtN9w[/video] And recently, my new favorite intro is probably Game of Thrones. [video=youtube;s7L2PVdrb_8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7L2PVdrb_8[/video] Seriously, that's a fucking amazing intro and it changes according to the places you'll be seeing in the episode nevermind that it also tells you the history of Westeros... really really great adaptation. That song has been stuck in my head since the damn show has aired. Same thing with Rome, a show I've been checking out recently. [video=youtube;8YDngmnixSc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YDngmnixSc&feature=related[/video] Love the intro and the song itself and the show is absolutely amazing. Mentions do go out to the shows already mentioned here of course but they've already been posted so I don't want to repeat.
[QUOTE=Shiftyze;32937584]And also It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. A small part at the beginning that relates to the title of the episode, then the scenes going around Philly with the silly music really really sets the tone of the show.[/QUOTE] The title screen comes up as "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" then the first shots you see are taken at night. Almost symbolic for the lying, conniving, lovable losers they are.

^Same here. I was at a friend's house and he apparentally recorded a couple of episodes and had a nostalgia fest. Also: Firefly Angel Buffy the Vampire Slayer Top Gear
Gets mentioned every time but [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CFPb5wURB8[/media] Also The Hulk animated series intro was fucking brilliantly animated [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyQpEoMFF3w[/media]

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej8-Rqo-VT4[/media] And the Game of Thrones one, but that's been posted already. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wBjQJBxHsU[/media] It took me like a year to get this. Now I find it absolutely hilarious.
[B]Band of Brothers:[/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LotPYoDtxaU[/media] [B]The Pacific[/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtmAiNG2Lxk[/media] Still two of my favourite intros, even just for the soundtracks.
Oh and I just finished watching Veronica Mars, probably one of the best written shows I've ever seen next to Babylon 5 and The Wire. I love the intro to its 3rd season, it just about hammers the film noire feeling home. [video=youtube;Ig4ePLsnQsU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig4ePLsnQsU&feature=related[/video]
Man the music from Twin Peaks is just magical
Dexter and Breaking Bad, I love the music. They are my alarm and ringtones.

Goosebumps intro is probably my favorite intro too.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBe0VCso0qs[/media] Why has no one posted this yet.
Because if they did, what would you have to show for it? Its too bad when they aired the reruns, they made it a lot shorter, this is even somewhat bigger then the reruns on TV. I remember when that was new, and it was even longer then that, there were more breaks between the lyrics with the ambient music. Eh, might as well share a forgotten one: [video=youtube;360zZt7cqdc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=360zZt7cqdc[/video]
