    I have a few:

    • Babylon 5 : The opening monologue and music score was amazing every time. Definitely an older vibe with this one with flashing images of the cast up as it progressed, but it was very good.
    • Westworld Season 1 : I think it was mainly the same for later seasons with slight variations. The simple piano tune building for the whole intro was beautiful and while watching back to back would absolutely let it run maybe every other episode, or every third.
    • Eureka Season 1 : The score by Mothersbaugh and quirky art is really fun and conveys the definite style of the show.

      I absolutely love The Expanse intro – I always let it play for the incredible song and started to notice all the changing visuals to match the progression in the show as a result.

      DuckTales is one of those opening songs that I sing along with because I know the lyrics. The Expanse is one of those opening songs that I sing along with despite not knowing any of the lyrics at all.

          The only lyrics I remember are his name in the chorus but it’s definitely stuck with me. Also he’s a space explorer! With that, Bucky O’Hare kind of bridges the gap between The Expanse and DuckTales in a way.

    Nothing recent that I can think of, so you get the kid-me version:

    The BBC Chronicles of Narnia series from the late 1980s:

    The Legend of Prince Valiant - 1990s

    Gargoyles - 1990s

    Gummi Bears - no not that one - the good one. The 1980s one sung by Joseph Williams from Toto (also singing voice of adult Simba in the original Lion King - which is a thing I didn’t in any way just find out when checking his name. Nope.)

    Cowboy Bebop was the first thing that came to mind, but now I’m wondering how many modern shows actually have banger intros that we all automatically skip.

    It will always be TNG for me, but all the Star Trek shows have great intros IMO.

    SPACE

    The final frontier…

    Best intro song? FIrefly.

    Stuck in my head forever (and still amazing 30 years later)? 90’s X-Men intro.

    Game of Thrones always fascinated me. I’m a huge fan of models and the thing always seemed like a giant one.

    The theme from Sherlock along with Holmes’ little “the game is on” leimotif were pretty great.

    Same with the driving beat from the Arrow title card — in fact I’m a big fan of Blake Newly in general, but it’s the track “Setting Up the Lair” from the first season that plays most of my favourite elements.

    But the title sequence that stands out best for me is the 2010 version of the Doctor Who theme. The music from that season in particular has always hit me hard, but all of Murray Gold’s work on the show was phenomenal.

    Here’s a bit of an unusual answer. The TV show Corner Gas is a Canadian comedy set in small town Saskatchewan. I grew up in a small town in Saskatchewan, so loved the show (it’s also objectively very funny). It’s a show I watched a lot as a kid, probably more times than anything. And that was all before the ages of being able to skip intros, so the iconic theme song (which references a very popular joke about Saskatchewan) was heard a lot.

    Mostly I think I’m just nostalgic about it. I really hated growing up in a rural area and the show was literally the only one I had at the time that felt local (Sask isn’t exactly a well known place).
