For me, it’s the 2000’s television news opening from the belgian TV named “La Une”. It rocks and brings back memories.

The expanse
I absolutely love The Expanse intro – I always let it play for the incredible song and started to notice all the changing visuals to match the progression in the show as a result.
DuckTales is one of those opening songs that I sing along with because I know the lyrics. The Expanse is one of those opening songs that I sing along with despite not knowing any of the lyrics at all.
In the spirit of ducktales. Captain Bucky O’Hare
The only lyrics I remember are his name in the chorus but it’s definitely stuck with me. Also he’s a space explorer! With that, Bucky O’Hare kind of bridges the gap between The Expanse and DuckTales in a way.
I’ve had that song stuck in my head for FOUR YEARS NOW. And I’m pretty fine with it.
I have a few:
- Babylon 5 : The opening monologue and music score was amazing every time. Definitely an older vibe with this one with flashing images of the cast up as it progressed, but it was very good.
- Westworld Season 1 : I think it was mainly the same for later seasons with slight variations. The simple piano tune building for the whole intro was beautiful and while watching back to back would absolutely let it run maybe every other episode, or every third.
- Eureka Season 1 : The score by Mothersbaugh and quirky art is really fun and conveys the definite style of the show.
Game of Thrones used to get me so pumped.
Nothing recent that I can think of, so you get the kid-me version:
The BBC Chronicles of Narnia series from the late 1980s:

The Legend of Prince Valiant - 1990s

Gargoyles - 1990s

Gummi Bears - no not that one - the good one. The 1980s one sung by Joseph Williams from Toto (also singing voice of adult Simba in the original Lion King - which is a thing I didn’t in any way just find out when checking his name. Nope.)
Best intro song? FIrefly.
Stuck in my head forever (and still amazing 30 years later)? 90’s X-Men intro.
Star Trek Voyager
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The Returned (Original French version)I’m pretty sure Buffy’s intro is the reason why I like rock.
When someone says “check out my sound system”, that’s how I check it out 😂
I like the intro to TruBlood more than the show itself.
ditto but that’s not a big achievement … show went downhill pretty fast … only kept watching for the uber smexy Deborah Ann Woll as Jessica
Cowboy Bebop was the first thing that came to mind, but now I’m wondering how many modern shows actually have banger intros that we all automatically skip.
It will always be TNG for me, but all the Star Trek shows have great intros IMO.
SPACE
The final frontier…
Game of Thrones always fascinated me. I’m a huge fan of models and the thing always seemed like a giant one.
The “Mad Men” opening credit scene was so fresh and original when it first came out. Along with a killer theme song.
mad men
The opening for the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime (Ready Steady Go by L’Arc-En-Ciel) is burned into my mind forever. For some reason it makes me cry a little bit now.
Definetly “The Lego Batman Movie”: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Tc8X8A-x9dc
I just love the humor of that movieCatchiest: Adventure Time
Memorable: Game of Thrones (are /r/freefolk here yet?)
Favourite: Futurama - watched every single one for the different slogans and classic cartoon clips
