When they made Star Trek Enterprise, they kept the tradition of using award winning epic sci-fi orchestral music, then they played it over the closing credits. The intro music was that croaking, bland, boring pop song about faith of the heart or something. What a forgettable show.
Best… The Peacemaker! It comes with a dance.
141 comments and no one’s said Futurama? That song slaps.
The Goodies
Nanananananana Nananananananana BatMAN!!!
Best: Psych, The Adventures of Pete and Pete
Firefly. It’s not a great song, but its theme suits the show very well.
Also, although it eludes me now, the opening theme to the Sweden/Denmark Bridge TV series with Sofia Helin. Loved the show, loved the intro, but forget it now.
Best: The Sopranos
Worst: The Sopranos
Best intro? Too Many Cooks. No questions.
Not sure about worst, though. Some are just… uninteresting, I guess

Oh! I have another:
Battlestar Galactica the 2k4 remake.
Not the requiem for a dream one from the miniseries, but the vocal and drums episode intro; although both are good.
I had the drum riff as a ringtone for a while.
Babylon 5. I challenge anyone to listen to that intro and not get curious. Also, I think it was the first series to change the intro from season to season.
King of the Hill is a close second.
I saw darkwing duck and duck tales, count duckula completes the duck trilogy intro songs of greatness
I have to agree.
I don’t think I’ve ever skipped the Expanse intro. The singing always draws me in!
When HBO wasn’t run by absolute imbeciles, I honestly believe they greenlit shows based on their intro sequence.
The Sopranos, The Wire, True Blood, True Detective, Game of Thrones, Westworld, Succession, White Lotus. All top tier
True blood was a really well-matched song. Rural, twangy, sexy, dark. Excellent choice.
