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 loved Mysterious Cities of Gold!
And the theme tune was great, just a pity it didn’t have another seriesI 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…).
I used to make historically accurate (for the time) models out of card when I was a child (Viking village complete with long boat, a medieval castle) I also made Roman type armour for my Sindy dolls, so you’re not alone in recreating what you enjoyed watching/reading about
I’m glad your interest is still active, mine blossomed into a love of art and creativity, still often using that multipurpose material- card
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
Hands 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.
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
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 clipsI 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
The opening song and credit sequence for Succession always got me SO HYPE.
The part after the bridge where the kids are riding on the elephant, and the piano part comes back in and strikes three times instead of two… chills every time.
Yeah came here to say Succession. The show is so cool and they nailed it with the opening intro. It’s sets the vibe perfectly.
Another vote for Succession!
Tv series:
Memorable and really enjoyable: 24 (Jack “fucking” Bauer FTW) and Alias (the J.J. Abrams vehicle)
Favourite: Cowboy Bebop (the anime obviously)
Beautiful score: The ExpanseI love the Alias theme, takes me back to the days of watching it one episode a week, some of those episodes were cliff hangers! I really need a rewatch now
ditto … shame only the “HD” version is on streaming platforms … I missed the boat on the rambaldi box set … I’d very much like to own the series in 1080p on BD. if it were ever to be released it would be a day 1 purchase for me
