    Question Your favourite TV show intro sequences?

    I was thinking about this the other day and decided to compile a list of the TV show opening title sequences that I never once skip past.

    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2012/...sequences.html

    But was also wondering what you guys would put on your own lists of all-time favourite, never-skip tv show intro sequences.

    The first one off the top of my head would be The Simpsons since they change it almost every episode.

    I wouldn't call it a fav, but it's a classic:

    ^^ Tis a classic!

    And I'd forgotten all about "Get Shorty"

    Time Tunnel was kind of cool too!

    im not a huge fan of the show, but i dug this one for showing the bridge between realty and fiction with this decades long franchise that has influenced what it was trying to emulate.

    The Kingdom; great cinematography and creepy atmosphere


    and probably my all time favourite series was this.

    Lou - good point on The Simpson's ... although I do tend to skip the bits in-between the new bits, but aye, I always make sure I catch the weekly jokes they stick in. Indeed they've really been doing a lot of background quick sight gags (e.g. funny store signs, shelves of books etc) in recent episodes, so it's always worth pausing and rewinding every now and then.

    Neil - ah yes, UFO, that was a show I used to watch when it was repeating in the 90s (during the resurrection of Gerry Anderson's kick arse shows). All the GA shows had great intros. Come to think of it, they used to use the themtune to UFO on the Hollywood Babble-On podcast.

    The Rockford Files (never seen it), Miami Vice (know of it, but never watched it), Battlestar Galactica (don't watch it/never watched it), Buck Rogers (never watched it), Airwolf (kick arse theme song, but never watched it, I was all about The A-Team) and Space 1999 (watched it back in the 90s).

    Twilight Zone is a classic intro, although I have to admit - I've never properly watched an episode of it. There's just so much stuff out there to watch, so inevitably you'll miss a classic ... I know prepare myself for an utter onslaught of "OMFG?!" from you guys.







    Lots of good choices here by you folks.
