More of a simplicity thing, but I always liked the elegance of Supernatural’s intros.

You get in, you get out, and the tone is set in a couple of seconds.

 

[-Arcadia-]

And of course, this 80s style opening they did when the characters were trapped in a sitcom.

 

[ManaByte]

Two pages and no A-Team? WTF GAF:

 

[MastAndo]

...and more recently;

 

[-Arcadia-]

GOAT. If you think otherwise, you’re wrong, hahaha.

 

[MGHA]

omg the feelz

how the hell do I get a hold of this series? There is just an old dvd release which sells for astronomical prices. Any way to get it legaly?

I fear pete and pete may be gone forever.

[MetalAlien]

I was obsessed as a child with this show. Everyone else was Star Wars crazy and wanted an X-wing or something. I was like screw that give me a Viper!

 

[-Arcadia-]

I know I just posted something mocking these kinds of old-school TV intros.

But this just makes me so happy inside. Call it a mixture of nostalgia and genuinely missing when this was the popular culture, not... whatever’s going on today.

Some of my favorites mentioned already:

X-Files
Dexter
The Sopranos
A-Team
Twilight Zone
Cheers
Mad Men
Some of the American Horror Story intros

I guess I'll add:









This one is understated and fantastic in its subtlety imo. One of my favorites:



And for some reason this one has a real sense of nostalgia for me. I think I was very young and in that state where everything seemed safe and secure and good and permanent. And whenever I see this intro, it brings back that flavor for a moment.



And a couple that I love for their theme songs:





For pure cheese and nostalgia:

One of my favorite bands, Tera Melos, did an almost perfect cover of the pete and pete intro:



Enjoy!!

Game Of Thrones



The A-Team

I was obsessed as a child with this show. Everyone else was Star Wars crazy and wanted an X-wing or something. I was like screw that give me a Viper!

The Battlestar toys had spring loaded missiles, way better. Reminds of those star trek phasers from back then that fired discs. I bothered family for those things so much after unloading or breaking one.

The previous were faves from the 70s with OG BG my all time fave.

80s
From Earth to the stars type thing. Personal top 5 pick.


90s. Minimal. Late night creepy and compelling.


00s. While I like the guest stars on the Weeds theme this one stands out immediately.

And of course, this 80s style opening they did when the characters were trapped in a sitcom.

A bit off topic here but that chapter was so damn good.
My mom watched CSI all the time back then, the CSI Miami bit still gets me every time

 

[Shifty]

The Samurai Champloo intro has a real mood about it:

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

 

[June]

I'm assuming someone has already posted the GOATest intro of Dawson's Creek so it saves me the effort.

 

[Kagey K]

This person has impeccable taste and should be voted tastemaker on Gaf from now until forever.

Not what op was REALLY asking for, but I LOVE the perfect strangers intro for that one episode of the leftovers. Shit caught me WAY off guard when it originally aired.

 

[InterMusketeer]

I never cared much for the show itself, but the intro was pretty cool.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

The greatest. ULYSSES 31.

That intro always gets me pumped up!! I'm partial to the French version:
