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.

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

Rockford Files: for the answering machine recordings.

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.

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.

Babylon 5. I'm not totally sure, but I think it was the first time that the intro changed from one season to the next.

partly nostalgia but really, it's just great; the Simpsons intro. Also the original Roswell from 2000's had a great intro song, it's the only Dido song I like besides the Eminem sample.

This thread needs more Stargate, those intros are basically a montage of the most epic scenes from previous seasons

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 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.

[–] discostjohn@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

Battlestar Galactica, Haven, Fringe, Orphan Black,

and there are a few more I don't skip more often than I do, like DS9, Stargate: Atlantis, Rome and the Tudors.

Some series just have really nice intros!

[–] FIST_FILLET@lemmy.ml 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:
