Intros you just don't skip (1 Viewer)

Shameless

I like watching Emmy Rossum pee. 

 

[The Football Freak]

I’ve always liked the It’s Always Sunny intro. Sweet, lighthearted music while heading around Philly at night, then something horrible starts on a Tuesday at 6pm. I dig the juxtaposition.

 

[Radio Free Homer]

Some great ones mentioned...Bojack, GoT, True Detective, IASIP, and glad to see Terriers mentioned above.  Great show and love the theme song

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Wasn't able to skip this back then, but I always loved the intro to the original Hawaii Five O

 

[DA RAIDERS]

don't watch any.

I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of True Blood and always watched the intro because of Bad Things.

This was the one I was going to post.  It's a good tune and a very interesting/disturbing intro.

 

[Zow]

This  and GoT are the only intros I never skip 

Weird.  I am probably too young for Twin Peaks but I just watched the intro.  I don't get it.  Why's it so good?

 

[Eephus]

Amazon not Netflix but I'm going to miss the opening titles of Mozart in the Jungle.

The brief abstract animations were a beautiful and uniquely musical way to open each show.

 

[Daywalker]

The sopranos has been mentioned right?

Six feet under is great.

Bojack as mentioned is so cool/relaxing.

Cheers really takes me back.

 

[NotSmart]

This  and GoT are the only intros I never skip 

Holy cow... a 2.5 minute intro!

Are we sure it's her?

:slapsmoneydown:  I'M OUT!!

I forgot Markie Post was on this show too.

 

[Silver & Black]

I know it's not really what you're asking for, but this is one of my favorite movie intros of all time.  Just thought of it when I read the title of the thread

So funny

 

[saintfool]

Bob's Burgers is pretty clever, imo.

 

[Hov34]

Rick and Morty

American Dad

The Man in the High Castle

If you don't get it, you're not going to get it.

 

[Zow]

The Man in the High Castle

Good one. 

 

[SlaX]

I'm gonna add Psych to the list.  I love the intro song and every now and then they change it up depending on what the episode is about.

 

[zamboni]

Surprised no one mentioned Baywatch.

The Office.

Such a simple, catchy tune that builds to its little crescendo. And the accompanying montage of scenes is so nostalgic now.

Cool fact.  Most of the pictures/videos of Scranton in the opening were taken by John Krasinski the first time him and his friends drove through the city before season 1.

That is a genuine cool fact.

I just spent a week with my best friend's two sons ages 6 and 9. They had never seen The Brady Bunch before, so I brought my dvds with me for them to watch. They dug it big time, but around the 12th or so episode, I was doing something in the same room and noticed the show started without the theme song kicking it off. I turned around and said, "Whoa now. We do not start each episode without the song."  The 9 year old restarted the episode (and by this time he knew most of the words), and he sang loudly, "Here's the story of a lovely lady, who was bringing up three very ugly girls."        I will always love the theme song.

 

[Radio Free Homer]

Stranger Things I'll almost always watch. Which is weird, because it's not anything really. But it so perfectly captures the mood of the series and the era. It just looks like some 80s horror flick I wore out the VHS on. I adore everything about it. The font, the music, the glow, all of it. 

It's perfect in its simplicity, isn't it?

Weird.  I am probably too young for Twin Peaks but I just watched the intro.  I don't get it.  Why's it so good?

Now that i think of it, it probably is Pavlovian. In those days of very little distinctly excellent television, it was simply a delicious experience to sit down to the eager weirdness of the first doper soap and the music was so distinctive and nostalgic that boom, it put fans in a place.

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

The music is simply haunting to me. I never get tired of hearing it

 

[Mr.Pack]

Not Neflix, but love Hawaii 5-O's intro and also like Blue Bloods

Definitely.  I binged this on VHS, it was easier to watch then fast forward.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Portlandia.

Just so soothing.  

 

[Slapdash]

Just started up Succession.  It's intro is crazy good
