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?

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

Here's my second submission, "The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3EoBl5uBfU
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!!!"

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.

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)

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.
