TV Intros That Are The Most

I love this bit and I recall thinking the same thing when I was a kid!

Dear god that seems to go on 4x longer than its actual running time.

I'm surprised no one has posted it yet, but the Perfect Strangers theme is EPIC: from the crackerjack production values (synths, guitars, background singers), to the cinematic sweep of Balki's journey to America, to the soaring chorus of "staaanding taaall on the wings of my dreams..." I also love the idea that sharing an apartment in Chicago is such an auspicious chapter in the life journeys of these two men. 

May I nominate this one for the most "pyew-pyew" noises and fire monsters?

This classic occurred to me yesterday, because reasons;



Here's The Daddy...



And a little shocked Douay-Rheims-Challoner hasn't put this here already...

Post-Lupin Well that - and the Prisoner, for that matter - would have been in my 'best' column.

Anyway:




moimoi Greatest Spider-Man, it is known.

Here's a fave in the Explain Entire Series In Credits category: sometimes they'd vary the vocal so Veil would sound more desperate.

All this AND pleated trousers. 

Thanks for posting this! It really is a joy to watch - just as good as anything on MTV at the time. I agree, it is the mostiest that ever mosted.

We can’t show this without the same theme being applied to humanity’s journey into space, subtituted for the Star Trek: Enterprise theme:



And on the topic of Trek here’s how the opening titles for The Next Generation were originally going to sound. They were certain the most…something.

The Enterprise opening overlaid by the "Perfect Strangers" theme is beautiful. Surely one of the greatest things ever produced by the internet. The first time I saw it I nearly cried laughing. It is so perfect.

I think I have finally managed to forget what the actual Enterprise theme sounds like. Thankfully.

Ah, that Booker intro was the best! If only the show lived up to it (though I wouldn't want to live in a world with no Simpsons in exchange for Richard Grieco, action star). 

Here's an entry for Mostest Canadianest!

Right up there with "The Prisoner"  is another fine British show with a wonderful opening sequence, that inexplicably graced the American airwaves in the mid 60's


 
Mrs. Peel, young Floyd says thanks.


The opening credits for M*A*S*H first episode were amazing. I found this, but the opening I remember was longer. (I had the audio recorded on a cassette). I remember it began with "My Blue Heaven" in Korean, and some dialog, and Radar suddenly yells "Choppers. Incoming!", another soldier says "I don't hear anything" and Radar yells "Wait for it!", and "Suicide is Painless begins to play.  I loved those first few seasons of M*A*S*H, and become saddened when I think of the mess it devolved into at the end, when all the characters became beings of pure light instead of complex, conflicted human beings.
