For me it was GoT, I just thought the miniature landscapes looked way too cool. Also I am watching Kimmy Unbreakable which has a theme song that I think is pretty catchy.

I'm going to cheat and say Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul.

Moonlighting

Muppet Show

Hill Street Blues

First time around there was no option to skip them. Perhaps that's a contributing factor to why they're so good and re-watchable.

All of them. I don't skip intros and I've never understood why anyone does.

[–] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

If I'm watching another episode immediately, I don't want the intro again so I'll skip that.

Dark. Westworld.

Most if not all shows. The intro was made by passionate musicians, animators, editors, and other creative people who work on my favorite shows. It's part of the presentation and the vibe of the program. It's like skipping the opening scene. But to answer your question more directly, I watch every single last second of any Trek intro.

Even.. you know.. that Trek intro...?

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Supernatural and Peacemaker

[–] halfway_neko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

Oh, I never skip intros. I also don't usually watch multiple episodes in a row though, so maybe that's why.

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

All of them. Why would I skip an intro? Intros are cool, and, rarely, they might change, possibly for in-show reasons. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is famous for doing this, and even some American shows have taken after it in that regard.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Franklin. Whenever I watch that guilty pleasure cartoon, I will absolutely refuse to skip the intro no matter how many episodes I'm watching.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Inside Job. The original song the intro samples isn't that great. But the intro to the show has an amazing beat that I wish went on for longer then it does.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Braindead, a new song by Jonathan Coulton every week

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Grimm. In the first few seasons they had very very short intros with little hints of what the story would be in it.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

For me, Justified.

A lot of people dislike that song, but I love it. It's a nice 'new south' sound.

I don't skip any of them. They're so short nowadays, anyway. If I'm impatient enough to skip the opening, then I'm probably not that into it and shouldn't be watching the show anyway.

Anyway, Law & Order, lol

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

I didn't see anyone else mention this: Mob Psycho 100. Every one of those intros are bangers.

The Wire. The opening themes are pretty great (with the exception of Season 5) and for some intangible reason the intro always feels like a core part of setting me up emotionally for the episode. Especially with Season 4. The ominous and dark rendition from the Baltimore school kids feels like an essential mood setting piece for a very sobering season.

[–] livus@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ah yes good point. I love the variations of the song and the images would slowly change during each season.

Also, not skipping it was the best way to catch the coda/saying at the beginning.

Agreed about The Wire, but not about S5, I love that one too :-)

Adventure time, the song is a banger and the whole thing lasts like 15 seconds.
