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.

All of them. I don't skip intros and I've never understood why anyone does.

[-] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

If I'm watching another episode immediately, I don't want the intro again so I'll skip that.

The Equalizer.

The OG one from way back when.

For me its Amazons Wheel of Time series. Seeing the threads get woven into the images of the world and then all coming together to be spun by the great wheel gets me emotional. They could bomb the remaining seasons and I would still be grateful for the opening.

I cannot believe there's so many. And I'm sure I've missed a few. Damn

Most if not all shows. The intro was made by passionate musicians, animators, editors, and other creative people who work on my favorite shows. It's part of the presentation and the vibe of the program. It's like skipping the opening scene. But to answer your question more directly, I watch every single last second of any Trek intro.

Such a catchy song! And the dancing is freaking hilarious. Brought a grin to my face every episode.

[-] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Moonlighting

Muppet Show

Hill Street Blues

First time around there was no option to skip them. Perhaps that's a contributing factor to why they're so good and re-watchable.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

All of them. Why would I skip an intro? Intros are cool, and, rarely, they might change, possibly for in-show reasons. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is famous for doing this, and even some American shows have taken after it in that regard.

[-] runeko@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Prime's Jack Ryan. It's hypnotic. Somebody put in a lot of work.

  • Sons of Anarchy
  • Bosch/Bosch:Legacy
  • Alias

The rest I was going to suggest have been mentioned already!

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Not mentioned yet: Lie to Me intro. Love how they show little twitches and movements and close it with open emotions.

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Grimm. In the first few seasons they had very very short intros with little hints of what the story would be in it.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I didn't see anyone else mention this: Mob Psycho 100. Every one of those intros are bangers.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Franklin. Whenever I watch that guilty pleasure cartoon, I will absolutely refuse to skip the intro no matter how many episodes I'm watching.

I don't skip any of them. They're so short nowadays, anyway. If I'm impatient enough to skip the opening, then I'm probably not that into it and shouldn't be watching the show anyway.

Anyway, Law & Order, lol

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For me, Justified.

A lot of people dislike that song, but I love it. It's a nice 'new south' sound.

The Wire. The opening themes are pretty great (with the exception of Season 5) and for some intangible reason the intro always feels like a core part of setting me up emotionally for the episode. Especially with Season 4. The ominous and dark rendition from the Baltimore school kids feels like an essential mood setting piece for a very sobering season.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed about The Wire, but not about S5, I love that one too :-)

[-] WatTyler@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Watching through S5 for the first time right now and it's growing on me. I think I'm not keen on the vocalist? S2's theme was my favourite, which I believe is the original version of the song? Also I freaking love season 2. Genuinely think it's my favourite of the four I've watched.

[-] livus@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah S2 version is Tom Waits. Everyone made it their own though.

S3 for me.

Ah yes good point. I love the variations of the song and the images would slowly change during each season.

Also, not skipping it was the best way to catch the coda/saying at the beginning.

[-] WatTyler@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Those epigraphs are so brilliant. I'm always on tenterhooks waiting for the line to come up in the episode.

[-] livus@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Me too. And it always gives another layer of significance.

Damn that was some good writing.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Supernatural and Peacemaker

[-] Sho@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Inside Job. The original song the intro samples isn't that great. But the intro to the show has an amazing beat that I wish went on for longer then it does.
