For me it was GoT, I just thought the miniature landscapes looked way too cool. Also I am watching Kimmy Unbreakable which has a theme song that I think is pretty catchy.
Cowboy Bebop
Yes! Also, Samurai Champloo
Nujabes RIP
Yeah, sharp like an edge of a samurai sword…
For sure. Certainly the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about awesome intro.
Both the anime and the remake.
Iirc the GoT intros gave you a hint about the episode by highlighting the map areas that the episode was going to cover. But S8 ended up being so bad that it went back in time and ruined the entire series for me, so I never rewatched it and might be misremembering.
Right now I never skip the intro for What We Do in the Shadows. It’s the same every time, but the song is just too much fun to skip. I am probably on my fourth watching of that series.
I think I also sit through most of the Star Trek intros just because I enjoy the visuals.
WWDIIS has at least 2 episodes that play variants on the theme song!
If you happen to remember which episodes, please let me know! I haven’t noticed that on any of my pass throughs.
My mind was blown while re-watching The Wire (where I also never skipped the intro). I said to myself “The singers change but the song remains the same.” Then my brain blew up because that’s the entire point of the series.
S03E08 is the one that’s in Farsi!
Thank you thank you thank you!
دست شما درد نکنه
No one said Futurama yet?
Go for the extended cut song ;)
Wow, thanks for the new rabbit hole! I love how Matt Groening also incorporated elements of the video clip into Futurama’s title sequence.
- Succession (and it’s not even close, this is clear cut #1 for the slap factor)
- Bluey
- Halt and Catch Fire
- True Detective S1
- The Righteous Gemstones (cheating since it’s only 10 seconds)
- The Brady Bunch
- Dragonball Z (Toonami airing)
- Scooby Doo, Where Are You? S2
- White Lotus S1 (this is so close to Succession for me)
- Westworld S1
- Severance
A few more I really love. I’ll add more as I remember them (there are many and I can’t remember them all now)
I liked the First Season opening for DBZ but only for like the first 50 or so episodes then it changed
Wow… why would HBO geoblock a fucking INTRO?
Because you wouldn’t pirate a car—right?!
We got ripped off in the UK with some teardrop-like library music
They’ve since lost the rights to Teardrop so all the newer copies have that crappy theme. I had to do a lot of digging to find a version of the series with Teardrop.
Yeah currently binging it on Netflix. Library intro.
Boooo. Getting to listen to the theme is a big part of the show for me lol. I sacrificed a lot of quality just to have the theme. Pretty sure the version on my Plex is only 480p.
I listened to House MD on crappy “watchtvforfree.net” type websites over a decade ago, and I only just realized now that the theme wasn’t supposed to change every episode. I just checked YouTube for the intro and I’m super familiar with all three versions haha
I like them all in their own way, but Teardrop obviously stands out.
For me, The Expanse
- NORSE SINGING INTENSIFIES *
Westworld
Same. I thought it was a pretty underwhelming show after the first season but that theme song and seeing the printing/construction process never got old.
Take my love, take my land…
Take me to where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
💨 🍃
Peacemaker, I watched that intro every single time.
For that damn eagle, every time.
You really wanted to taste it.
The Expanse
Obligatory ‘came for The Expanse’. And Peaky Blinders is in a comment just about this one and agreed… And Community cuz I like the song and the series.
And the end credits too.
No love for Stranger Things intro here 😟
That music adds so much to the show, definitely worth playing it through
Sopranos.
I’m finally getting around to watching this and I haven’t skipped the intro yet.
Came to say this
Futurama
Mythbusters
King of the Hill
Metalocalypse
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Cowboy Bebop and Bluey.
Lol, I came here to say Bluey as well.
I just love their little dances and the song. Plus, I want to teach my daughter patience, and not skipping TV show intros is one of those little things that can help with that.
And there’s the one episode where they switch Bingo’s and Bluey’s positions in the song and it’s completely unexpected and amazing. Bluey is GOAT! I really can’t think of a better kids’ show.
I loved that one.
I aspire to be as good a father as Bandit.
I aspire to be as good a father as Bandit.
Yep. They made him an amazing father and role model without coming off as sanctimonious at all.
Gravity Falls
