I would add the title sequence for Hell on Wheels. There's just something about that opening with the fire and the Dobro and everything that works perfectly with the themes of the show.

Whar is Sanford and Son, whar?!!

/I know I know, mainly the theme song is badass//still my favorite

I know people kind of universally hate it, but I love the opening sequence to Homeland.

The Zenith/Nadir of TV show intros has to be a tie between Perfect Strangers and Mr. Belvedere.

No better than The Facts of life or Family Ties.  What was the name of that show about Kristy McNichol possibly having a dick and being Atreu?  That had a good credits sequence.

But none of them beats the Incredible Hulk, which ruled in the opening and closing credits.  Also, Hill Street blues and Moonlighting.

And what about the Greatest American Hero?

This.  Great song, High-energy intro that included the first girl of my dreams...

Reminds me--Miami Vice Theme is great when played on a piano with an airport lounge attitude.

Oh my god, they mentioned marsh-wiggles. I had almost blocked that out. Puddleglum was the Jar-Jar Binks of Narnia.

The Prisoner?

List fails without "SportsCenter".

No Six Feet Under of Battlestar Galactica? Shame, shame.

"The Lonely Man" is such a perfect theme song for The Hulk.

For modern openings, I've really gotten to like the ones for Fringe. Not only is it a solid opening, but it's great that it's used to setup the actual episode as far as what universe you're in. And the 1980's intro kicked ass.

Quantum Apostrophe: The Prisoner?

Am I the only one who hates most title sequences and really likes it when a show's title sequence is just the title, like the first season of Grimm and the first couple of seasons of Castle?

Like every episode of Lost?

No love for Psych? It's a fun opening that embraces the "theme song" concept. I particularly like that they record entirely new version of it for some of the theme episodes.

Never seen Lost. I've been warned away from it by friends who say the ending sucks so very very much that it's not worth watching. That I'll just end up depressed and wanting to cockpunch the writers until their balls shoot out their ass.

If you aren't an unpredictably volatile twit I'm sure you will at least moderately enjoy it.  It's good superficial entertainment.  I can see how some people can mistake it for something that must adhere to their own misguided enthusiasm for their own fabricated importance of the show, but I stopped talking to those people.  On the other hand, I notice that it really helps when you aren't at the mercy of network television, and can just watch it on netflix or DVD whenever you feel like it.  Waiting around for a week for a cliffhanger can be unpleasant.

I'm the same way. I tend to wait until there are a few seasons of a show out before I start watching. Except for Game of Thrones. I can't wait to see how they handle this upcoming season, since book 3 is when a whole lot of cool/crazy/interesting stuff happens.

Nothing beats  Black Sheep Squadron. NOTHING.

Love the  "Dead Like Me" credits.

I just started watching Game of Thrones season 1 on Amazon.  It's surprisingly good.

sorebones: I have nothing but hate for Dexter's. At its least irritating it's long and boring and at its most it makes me want to leave the room.

It just makes me hungry.
