ITT: post god-tier TV Opening Credits

everything is a rip off, of a rip off, of a rip off

Battlestar Galactica - conveys that hopeless and dark atmosphere that the show was going for perfectly.

L O S T - so simple, yet that opening sound will forever be ingrained in my head. It was mysterious and strange much like the Island itself. Just hearing it in my head makes me want to re-watch the show.

Fargo - both seasons have excellent and memorable intros, each episode has a sort of unique one, but the theme is excellent, just like the movie Fargo theme.

X-files - probably the most memorable theme music of them all, perfectly conveyed that mystery and creepiness of the shows ayy lmaos and monsters.

NYPD Blue and LA Law are also great intros from based Bochco.

So FUCKING comfy

It's weird how his contemporaries like Gondry, Jonze, Romanek, etc went on to some feature film success but he hasn't. He'd deliver absolute kinography.

That vampire show, from HBO

and this

Airwolf
youtube.com/watch?v=aqcQUmKJEK8

I remember as a kid this was the most disappointing show ever. The opening got me insanely hyped, I thought it was going to be up there with A-Team or Knight Rider. The actual show just didn't deliver. Maybe I didn't give it a chance, but I couldn't get into it. Same with Streethawk...

Streethawk
youtube.com/watch?v=CCItnKrXvMM

...Which doesn't have an amazing opening but it's in the same genre of show as Knight Rider, you might even say a copycat show, but it didn't grab me.

I think the difference is in the charismatic main characters, be it Hannibal, Murdock, Mr. T and Face, or Michael Knight and KITT.

Say what you will about the show itself, Luke Cage has a sweet ass opening.
youtube.com/watch?v=La_ArLTXYCg

I don't think you could get a more 80's TV intro if you tried. Also, neon-on-everything = The Future

Daily reminder that Farscape is gone forever.

And last but not least:

This intro made it absolutely clear that as soon as you set foot outside in an American city you were going to be raped and murdered.

Fuck I still miss Dead Like Me movie was crap but at least it took the edge off the withdrawal

One of the GOAT tv lines

I used to love the names that Banner came up with to try and fool that pesky journalist that was always on his trail. Banyon, Ballard, Bagger etc etc.

Because no one saw the "TELEVISION" adaption of Spiderman 2.

Bluray when lad?

True Detective turned out to be average, but man the intro is memorable

Good post. I played it expecting this one:

Got them confused, and yours is better. Here's another great one from way back:

>tfw no1 linking GOAT star trek opening

youtube.com/watch?v=ZPn-lTytfGo

...

I got a few DVDs of it since, and found it hilarious. In one scene, BA dives onto the hood of a moving car and punches the driver in the face through the windshield, knocking him out instantly. Then he rolls off in time for the car to drive off the road and into a tree.

If I have kids they will be raised on The A-Team and He-Man.

>The A-Team
Sweet.
>He-Man
Fuck no, even as a kid I hated that show and didn't know anyone who actually liked it beyond the toys.
Transformers, GI Joe and Thundercats was where it was at.
youtube.com/watch?v=cWmFP4eZLXE

kinda dated but still pretty comfy. the eps with bigfoot are hilarious and scary at the same time

Funky as fuck. Sounds like a Herbie Hancock track. I never watched it though because thee was something on the other side. I forget what. May have been:

Saved By The Bell

(that second comment on the video)

Now and Again.
Not a great intro but I was curious if any of you fags remembered this show.
youtube.com/watch?v=8YMrdLZi-w8

Goddamn I loved this show, I really need to get the DVDs now they've finally dubbed the last few episodes.

>DIC
lol

Of those, I'm surprised you posted the GI Joe one instead of based

Transformers
youtube.com/watch?v=uRQtMVJKBFc

As for He-Man, I was very young.

Everybody knows the Transformers one, more have forgotten the GI Joe intros.
That said, I agree with you.

Speaking of kids shows.
youtube.com/watch?v=imP2MZxoM-s

yeah man, amazing intro for an amazing show
visuals are from the same guys who did True Detective and the music is by the guy who wrote the movie for the Fargo series

man that shit was great when i saw that in cinema when i was 10

Even as a little child I knew this was true kino. It was always my dream to meet another child who appreciated it on the same level I did. I had two girlfriends, they meant nothing to me. I had friends fight over my company. Did I want to play on their Amstrad? Did I want to play with their pool table? No. I wanted to talk in depth about Dogtanian. It's not easy being patrician at 7 years old.

Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds

youtube.com/watch?v=BeRlzlGBgU4

Danger Mouse is so much better than Dogtanian that he got his own reboot.

This intro is not available in the language that I originally saw it in, but its greatness still gets across.

the hogan family song is cool

I enjoyed Dangermouse as well, but nothing about it was better than Dogtanian except the animation and sound quality. It's only better on a superficial level.

Say whatever you want about the show itself, the intro got you fucking pumped to watch anything.

youtube.com/watch?v=HWzYln3md4I

Eh, personally I think it's the least of the three, a bit too understated.
Jessica's seems ho-hum at first, but then that cheesy/awesome guitar kicks in.

The only part I really like about Westworld's credits is when the hands move but the piano keeps going, but that's made too literal by the player piano shown next shot

I'm tired of every HBO credits since True Detective being nearly identical

I'll one up you son.

youtube.com/watch?v=dGFUijdwWdk

one of my favorite animations of all time m8... but really needs a decent transfer

this show is beyond comfy though and I want the ost too.

HAHAHA I was all over that as a kid.
This too (same animation company)...

Around the World with Willy Fog:
