Game of Thrones. Best part of the latter seasons.
Peter Dinklage, Peter Dinklage, Peter Dinklate
This. Just because I want to see what regions the episode will be taking place in.
Bojack Horseman, the song slaps and there's way too many Easter eggs and jokes slipped onto the various intros to ignore them.
I love how the intro changes depending on what happened in the previous episode, or what will happen. Take Bobo the Zebra. A changing intro gives me a reason to watch it, and yes the song slaps. I particularly love the full version we don't get to hear a lot of.
My wife claps during the Friends intro credits. Every time. EVERY. TIME.
She'll be in the other room, and hear it on the TV... I hear the clap clap, clap clap from her as it plays.
The song lives rent free in my head regularly
Found out when I worked at a grocery store that there is a "full version" of the Friends intro, because it was in the playlist of music that would play on the store speakers
I can’t stand that show (or Jimmy Fallon’s), but the CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP hook slaps.
Matt LeBlanc and Jimmy Debate: How Many Claps Are in the Friends Theme Song?
For me its Gravity Falls. I love the music.
I should rewatch it soon, probably one of my favorite tv-shows of all time
Succession. Love the music.
The Expanse. Just so beautiful!
Seconded. The Expanse's intro song is amazing!
The Sopranos, it really sets the mood. Game of Thrones too. And The Wire!
I liked the Dexter intro too. Breaking Bad, though its pretty short. And House MD when it was Massive Attack.
Hold up... they stopped using Massive Attack as the intro music for House? I must have stopped watching it by the time it changed.
When they put it up on streaming it changed. They had different songs in different regions when it originally aired and the streaming version uses one of the other songs. Seems like a licensing thing?
Parks and recs because it's so upbeat. Homeland too but for an entirely different reason
First season of true detective
Breaking Bad
I appreciate short and to the point intros like Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul as well!
Tbf it would be hard to reach the skip button before it's already over
Doctor Who.
dundundundun dundundundun
Omg it's been years since I watched it and I just heard the theme in my head like it was the first time... I need to rewatch it now
I just realized it's kinda the same melody as the Game of Thrones intro
All of them. Intros set a mood, and that’s a really important part of consuming any piece of content for me.
Scrubs - it is short enough not to skip it and it's also fairly catchy!
Malcolm in the Middle and Community for me, for the same reasons.
Malcolm in the Middle's slaps because it's played by They Might Be Giants
White lotus. So funky
Twin Peaks
How's Annie?
Peacemaker
Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica TOS.

Spectacular Spiderman
Spongebob Squarepants!
The Office US. Gets all the happy chemicals flowing.
Actually, now that you reminded me of Gravity Falls, that one too. And for me at least, in both cases the music is doing the heavy lifting. Such great tunes, how can you skip that?
Speaking of great music, I haven't watched a full episode of GoT, but the intro is amazing! I look it up every now and then just to listen.
I haven’t watched much of the office US but I can agree that the intro is very solid
The Wire
Which season is your favourite opening? I think in general mine is season 2
Can we only pick one?
- Daredevil
- The Punisher
- Every Star Trek show
- Firefly
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Back in the 90's...
Mushoku Tensei / Jobless Reincarnation
Great music, setting mood in an exceptional way, every episode different background / scenes in it, exceptional for world-building.
Really excited to see season 2 next month.
Babylon 5
Fringe - especially the 80s flashback version.
Evil.
Malcolm in the Middle
Bob Morane
ER and Third Watch speaking of 90's shows, but also Ted Lasso and Brooklyn Nine - Nine
King of the hill
Raised by Wolves
Haunting music and visuals. Check it out on YouTube if you've never seen/heard it!
season 1 and 2 of ST: Enterprise
But also all other ST shows.
Raised By Wolves.
Haunting visuals and music. YouTube it if you haven't seen it yet. Gives me shivers everytime.
I'm old. WKRP in Cincinnati.
Expanse!
a) it's really cool how they update the credits to go with the storyline b) watching as Mars/Earth/Luna build and grow over time b) I want to float around Saturn
Taxi (1978-1982)
Star Trek: TNG
Duck Tales.
Star Trek Next Generation
Dunno about intro but I never skip the outro of jujutsu kaisen
From. Que Sera, Sera by The Pixies.
Young Sheldon. Short and sweet.
FARSCAPE
Community
- Friends
- Gilmore Girls
Generally just shows, which I love to sing along to
For the music but with no singing:
- Cowboy Bebop
- Mad Men
- Game of Thrones
If it's less than 10 seconds, I won't skip because it's equally a hassle to skip. So far that's only been maybe Scrubs? These 90 second intros can buzz off man... GoT, Westworld, motherland... No thanks.
The Good Place and The Mandalorian I really like mostly because they are very short and to the point.
Slightly off-topic but I hate how Netflix destroys beautiful intros with that "SKIP INTRO" button. They need a setting to hide that.
