Question Favourite TV show intros?

Basically, can be from now or when you were an adorable little pest. Favourite intro from your morning cartoons, or it can be the intro to whatever you watch now.

Anyway,

Transformers: I loved this show. The thing that sells it to me is the one-continuous scene.


As for present day stuff

Lucky Star: Adorable Adorable Adorable.



You dudes?

Swat Kats Season 2 Intro:



The Turbo Cat is what created my love for aviation .

Continuing on with aviation:



Just for the tune, JAG get's second place.

And Dragonball Z...



Ah how I remember it clearly. Home from school, DBZ started on Cartoon Network at 4 and this tune would kick off the rest of your free afternoon/evening until dinner.

Kick ass. I was going to say that.

Probably unknown to most of you youngsters, but I liked the theme music to the TV drama "LA Law". It aired from '86 to '92; it's just a tidbit I remember from my youth.



LOVE that song!

Watch the intro with the volume turned all the way down. Without the music, it's just a bunch of people walking around making them self look busy in their 1980s suits and big hair

30 Rock is one of the few shows I won't skip the opening credits for:


I never actually watched Six Feet Under but their credits are great:


Also, I can't find it on youtube but the X-Files definately deserves a mention here.

Some of these shows I didn't watch that often, but I liked their intros. Others because I liked them as a kid. A small few are simply timeless.

Live Action shows: Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Tales From the Cript.

Cartoons: Futurama, Ren and Stimpy, The Wild Thornberries, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Rocko's Modern Life, Ah! Real Monsters, As Told by Ginger (yeah...).

Anime (yeah, yeah. Bitch at me all you want for differentiating between Cartoons and Anime): Paranoia Agent, .hack//SIGN, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and the other one, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop.

I was waiting for someone to mention Tales from the Cript, I couldn't even watch the opening theme as a kid I was so afraid of it lol.

I still watch Courage the Cowardly Dog whenever it's on, that show had some catchy music and cool characters, especially villains.

Earthworm Jim was funny although I remember the game more fondly than the show, really the opening theme is all I remember from the show.

No joke. The art direction of that show gives me a total boner. I love it.
