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.

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.

True Detective, it has amazing composite video effects

Many of my favorites are listed here but one I didn't see is Money Heist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

i usually only watch the first episode intro, and then the finale intro, except for cases where the intro is a banger like:

bojack horseman

breaking bad

too old to die young

Human Target until they messed up the intro (and everything else) with the disastrous season 2.

The music and art were top-tier and set me up for adventure.

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.

Westworld .

And top gear (the proper Clarkson/Hammond/May one, not that other thing)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

House. The original intro with Tear Drop is a banger.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the funny thing is that that intro is not that good, very generic, but the music is awesome and make the shots way better than they are.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I imagine it started back when you could record TV onto VHS, you could FF through all of the intros, but since the "binging" era of netflix, all streaming services want you back in the action right away so they give you the option to skip. People get addicted to binging shows and they don't want anything to delay their mild dopamine hit. I don't get it either.

I don't skip intros. It sets the tone for what is about to come.

Adventure Time

Ozark: for the cryptic panel of images foreshadowing the episode.

Rockford Files: for the answering machine recordings.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I used to always try to memorize the images so I could tell when they came up in the episode but I found it just distracted me from the show.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't seen anyone say The Boondocks yet. That show has a banger of an intro.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

YES, outro too!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I always wait for kirk to say "Space" before skipping the intro to Star Trek, always gets a chortle from my partner and I.

Lol, I came here to say Bluey as well.

I just love their little dances and the song. Plus, I want to teach my daughter patience, and not skipping TV show intros is one of those little things that can help with that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And there's the one episode where they switch Bingo's and Bluey's positions in the song and it's completely unexpected and amazing. Bluey is GOAT! I really can't think of a better kids' show.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I loved that one.

I aspire to be as good a father as Bandit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. They made him an amazing father and role model without coming off as sanctimonious at all.

Bojack Horseman

Mashle

Brooklyn 99

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

BLING BANG BANG BORN is a BOP.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have to skip the intro for B99 sometimes cause it's crazy loud.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And you have to do some kind of hand dance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I used to not skip POI(Person Of interest), every intro had characters from the episode.
