Dexter

Farscape - just love the music.
Babylon 5 season 3. Same reason. Why did they use this music only in the intro of season 3 is beyond me. (Although they used it in outro in season 4). The rest of the seasons they have very cheesy music in the intro.

Can't believe no one mentioned Mad Men yet!

Dexter was great, set a good vibe that matched the shows tone.

Game of thrones was just really well done with good music.

Buffy. Great high energy start, especially after the explanation intro. Goes straight to action

Lost, its short but it was atmospheric, cryptic and the reason it's short is they wanted to use the time for more story, as the ad levels had increased tv wide so on broadcast tv it was a nice non monetary move from that show specifically.

Firefly. Not enough episodes to get sick of it.

Friends, but only a few times no skip, if its binged.

Battlestar Galactica. Gives a few hints of what's to come in the episode, without being spoilers.

Bluey is fun, kids love it and dance to it.

Thundercats, duck tales, gummi bears, chip n dale. They make me nostalgic for childhood, when you couldn't skip.

Edit:typos

Adventure Time, just good vibes

Westworld

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked…

Deep Space 9 from season 4 onwards. I found it pretty boring and lifeless in the earlier seasons. The ships at and around the station made it a lot more interesting, and i like the updated music

So I didn't end up watching the whole show, but Neil Patrick Harris completely kills it with his theme song for A Series of Unfortunate Events.

The intro from the 80's Saturday morning cartoon M.A.S.K. That song was epic.

No one said Futurama yet?

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.

• Twilight Zone (1959–1964)

• Firefly

• Venture Bros.

• Neon Genesis Evangelion

• Maria Holic / Maria Holic: Alive

What we do in the shadows.

I watch almost all intros. The only exception would be if I'm watching multiple episodes back to back and I know there are no variations in the intro.

The intro usually sets the tone for the show, so I like to watch them.

Lately OMitB, before I'd say TBBT, from the old times you won't skip on the A-Team opening theme or the Italian version of Hazzard

Most of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba intros.

I loved the Raised By Wolves intro, the music was beautiful. The show was very love it or hate it and has sadly been cancelled :(

Also loved the creepy? music on the Severance intro.

Too many to list: Buffy, Brooklyn 99, Firefly, Stargate SG1...

Star Trek Enterprise

lol jk

Top gear

Dark. Westworld.

• Succession (and it's not even close, this is clear cut #1 for the slap factor)
• Bluey
• Halt and Catch Fire
• True Detective S1
• The Righteous Gemstones (cheating since it's only 10 seconds)
• The Brady Bunch
• Dragonball Z (Toonami airing)
• Scooby Doo, Where Are You? S2
• White Lotus S1 (this is so close to Succession for me)
• Westworld S1
• Severance

Dark

It is mind bending and believe changes with each episode

I skip all the intros after watching them once. Knocking 2min off an episode really adds up.

The Expanse, the music is awesome

I wasn't the hugest fan of the overall show--it was fine--but I enjoyed how they mixed up the intro song for The Leftovers. I oftened listened through the credits as a result.

The Sopranos
