Favorite TV Intro?

[The Ozman]

I can't post YT videos from work, so will just list my top 5...

1. Farscape (all of them)
2. Star Trek: The Next Generation
3. Firefly
4. Red Dwarf
5. Stargate SG-1

[Starter Set]

Speaking of Star Trek :



Think what you want of Voyager but damn, that's a Star Trek theme right there.

[Jim Kelly]

Every Star Trek show should have opening lines. It doesn't always have to be "Space: the Final Froniter..." but there should be something. This is the thing that got me jazzed for each episode. When I watch on DVD now, I never skip that part. It's like the opening crawl for Star Wars. Its a feature that the franchise owns as its signature--I don't understand why some shows dropped that device.

So, you're saying you didn't love the opening to Enterprise?


In retrospect, I guess it acts as a warning.

That just reminded me of how "Babylon 5" had those killer opening lines. (and its various iterations) It was the antithesis to ST in tone.

Great choice, but I'm still rather partial to the first one. Ever since I first saw it on the "Bozo" morning show, I became totally hooked on this.

[Kal-El Summers]

If there was a just and loving God, this would've been playing at the start of the big fight at the end of a *good* Justice League movie.

I'ma throw in the SilverHawks and Bionic Six intros, too.

As for non-animated stuff: ER, Psych, and Scrubs would at or near the top of my list.

The Six Million Dollar Man intro always gave goosebumps. "We have the technology."

Also the Bionic Woman intro. Those were intros man.


The Justice League animated intro is pretty awesome too.

This was THE best tv intro when I was a kid. It would still be in my personal top 10.

Since I don't believe either one of my actual favorites has been mentioned so far...

- The initial/"Classic Coke" run of Elvira's Movie Macabre. They could easily(and understandably) have just gone with Cassandra in costume. Instead, they went with the "Maximum 'The Cure' Goth" hallway atmosphere/the theme song/the sound effects/the wolf howl. It's still great every single time.

- In an incredibly close second, the opening of Thundarr The Barbarian. That intro is easily better than entire episodes of some shows that I can think of. It's like Heavy Metal and Jack Kirby for the "Grade School" set.
