The Prisoner has almost a mini-movie to introduce you to the concept every episode. It is very cool, definitely a classic.

The funny thing about THE PRISONER is that it came after Patrick McGoohan had already done SECRET AGENT (which had a top forty theme song). GET SMART may have parodied the James Bond movies, but it also parodied these TV shows and had its own elaborate intro.
The DICK VAN DYKE SHOW had two different intros (and later a third) in rotation--one where Dick falls over the ottoman and one where he manages to skirt it. But each week, you never knew which one it would be. So every week, we were all watching, and people were taking bets, just to see if Dick would fall this week or escape the ottoman doom.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this one.

"No! Watching TV shows doesn't create psycho killers... cancelling TV shows does! The Wayans Brothers was a good show, man! It was a good-ass show! And we didn't even get a final episode!"

Strike Force, a one season wonder from 1981 starring Robert Stack, but I thought the opening was badass!
