Best Tv Shows Intros (POLL ADDED)

by **nietzsche** on Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:25 pm

Poll after options are suggested.

Talking to the llama, and disagreeing as always because he likes stuff like grand budapest hotel, i was thinking about tv shows intros.

My favourite, of course is The Sopranos' intro.

True Blood's intro is pretty good also.

It's a goodun, but x-men is still first in class in superhero cartoon intros:

Honourable mentions:

Batman TAS:

Defenders of the Earth:

I actually kind of wish all TV series did intros the way that they sometimes did in the 80's and early 90's, giving each character a little vignette. Preferably with lyrics, and maybe a little nod to the camera at the end of each bit.

"Ned Stark- His bite is worse than his bark!... G...G...G...Game of Thrones!"

Agree with sym, the xmen intro is so damn catchy. I still get the song stuck in my head often.

Another good one, from Luther:

Also, saxi was on point with the Leftovers intro, it's pretty good.

You guys put up some good ones! Id vote for Dexter, True Blood, the leftovers... and for a new one I'm kinda partial to The affair, and fortitude. The songs in both of those really get stuck in my head. Fionna Apple is all the right kinds of sexy even now that shes 30+

Trueblood def gets a vote from me. True Detective is also worth a mention, the song sticks in your head:

Also Vikings:

But Fever Ray's whole album is worth a listen.

by **Dukasaur** on Sat Mar 18, 2017 9:40 am

This was always my favourite. Short by today's standards, but one of the iconic pratfalls of entertainment history, and a cool melody too!

by **TA1LGUNN3R** on Sat Mar 18, 2017 7:08 pm

Sym beat me to it, but I'll second True Detective.

short, punchy & to the point. did i mention it was short??? Alec Baldwin's is best, imo.

MEATWAD!!!

by **Symmetry** on Sun Mar 19, 2017 1:05 am

I feel that this a topic that needs categories.

Best drama
Best comedy
Best animated
Best music
Most iconic

or whatever... Nietz will probably flake anyway.

by **riskllama** on Sun Mar 19, 2017 2:05 am

let's hope so. this thread is stupid.

by **nietzsche** on Sun Mar 19, 2017 2:46 am

poll is up

by **Symmetry** on Sun Mar 19, 2017 3:07 am

Called it

by **2dimes** on Sun Mar 19, 2017 7:00 am

I'm not about to pick sides since llama is Denny downer and Niet is buenos huevos.

but..

The scene where they take out the bad guy in Grand Budepest Hotel is one of the most satisfying in cinematic history.

Maybe it just doesn't translate or something.

Ok, uh. I'll submit Three's Company.
