TV Intros That Are The Most

Presented for your consideration: The colour green.



(Green Forest, My Home is the name of the last one.)

Douay-Rheims-Challoner That Three Kingdoms intro sounds very Russian to me, even sung in Mandarin. The Soviet influence on the academy lingers.

Also I drive by a lot of those Colbys locations all the time, though not in an Excalibur, though a relative knew Brooks Shields, the designer (better known as a modernist) and owned one, though in Wisconsin, not California (and it was a reproduction of the Mercedes SSK, favored by yours truly’s avatar).

And yes, for the record, here I've finally got around to including an Irish TV show opening; one that's very familiar to people of a certain age (generally; older than me.)

And this. This right here is why I love posting to this thread.

Because, honestly, it was only a matter of time before I linked the intro to East Germany's James Bond-esque TV series.

(Bonus: The uploader wouldn't let me directly link this, but I don't have the heart to not include it, because come on.)

I do remember as a kid finding that opening premise genuinely unsettling -- I was aware that it implied the deaths of almost the entire population. In the early 80s, we weren't doing duck-and-cover drills in my school, anymore, but there certainly was still the very pervasive cloud of nuclear annihilation of the human race was a very real possibility. But I guess I was kind of won back over by the promise (albeit thousands of years in the future) of a world of "super science and sorcery!"

I'm getting a very-GOT opening credits vibe from that Turkish show.

Jean-Luc Lemur You're not wrong, but that particular intro felt like it went the extra distance.

Albert Fish Taco Never heard of that show, but that is damn perfect.

Anyway, Magnificent Century and Game of Thrones began in the same year, but that third season intro is definitely more ambitious looking than previous seasons, so you may well be right.

Good timing too as forty-eight episodes of the show recently popped up on Netflix. I'm tempted to watch it, I just don't know if or when Netflix will add the around a hundred episodes they're missing.

Anyway:

That time Scott Bakula was the star of a show based on a Michael Keaton movie (and Patti Yasutake and Clint Howard!)

The mid-1980s are pretty easy for this sort of thing, case study #2, Lady Blue:


And now something Spanish:

So here's some countries I've not featured much.

Poland!


Chile!


North Korea! Yes, the Hermit Kingdom has been modernizing their TV production a bit, apparently.

In googling around over the months to find the Most looking intros from all over the world, I feel like I've learned a bit about international TV production along the way!
