Best TV show intros ever!
 
I'd like to start with this one. "The Mysterious Cities of Gold"
Feel free to skip the prologue and go straight to 0:27 for an epic song.

MMMMMM, Lotus 7 :)

Love the jazzy sound of this one.


Also jazzy-ish (though the visuals for the credits aren't as good as season 1, which I can't find on Youtube):


And this one is just brilliant. *sigh*




Meanwhile, does anyone ever actually bother listening to any of the videos that others post?

+ rep to AlexFili, I thought I was the only one who remembered Cities of Gold - Wow, that was a huge nostalgia rush from my early childhood...

Old ftw.

AlexFili 08-29-2011 04:04 AM

What was it like DarkHoodness? I've only seen the intro.

Here's my second submission, "The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers":

The animation on that intro is simply beautiful.

That Poirot intro is good. I loved the show (that and Columbo).
Elfen Lied and Xmen 80s were good shows. I really loved watching Tintin as well!
"Blistering Barnacles!!!"

Laser 08-29-2011 04:23 AM





All fantastic

Goresplatter 08-29-2011 04:25 AM


Didn't even like the show itself that much, but I love the theme.

I loved it when I was a kid. My siblings and I would celebrate every time it was brought back on for repeats.


I haven't yet been brave enough to watch it as an adult, in case all of my positive impressions were just from nostalgia.

Favourite show ever.



Two very good powerful openings that both capture the tone of the show perfectly.


Best intro song I've ever heard.



Overall the best and most original intros I've ever seen. Absolutely wonderful.

JESUS CHRIST I JUST SCROLLED ANGRILY THROUGH THAT.

AlexFili 08-29-2011 11:23 PM

Ah, I was very much a fan of the 90s Spider-Man. That's why I like the films so much along with the videogames Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man Friend or Foe (Which is such a fun game when you unlock all the sidekicks)

Have you ever tried to watch that program now? Its like its got ADD, its so fast and goes all over the place, christ knows how I watched it when I was younger

MeechMunchie 08-30-2011 08:47 AM

QI, Have I Got News For You, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Who's Line Is It Anyway?... British quizcoms always have great intros.

Also Spongebob.

JennyGenesis 08-30-2011 09:57 AM

I remember playing the captain of the Spongebob theme on the microphone of a coach once.

Sekto Springs 08-31-2011 11:46 PM

I'm not trying to be obscure with this one, it's just damned catchy.



Oh, Jim Cummings. Stop voicing Tigger and do cool shit again.

This^
Now that I actually have a sense of timing, the cuts of the show all seem premature. The beats are all out of order. There isn't a single shot in that fucking show longer than five seconds.

Strike Witch 09-01-2011 12:25 AM

Holy shit I remember that show!
