Which TV series intros do you not skip by choice?
(lemmy.world)
Bluey Bob's Burgers Steven Universe The Owl House Big bang theory
Bob's Burgers was my answer, too. Doesn't overstay its welcome. Catchy jingle. New gags every intro. Boom, it's over.
True blood, ultimate vibe setter
Can't believe no one mentioned Mad Men yet!
Knight Rider
MacGuyver
A-Team
"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit...”
Fringe
All of them. Why would I skip an intro? Intros are cool, and, rarely, they might change, possibly for in-show reasons. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is famous for doing this, and even some American shows have taken after it in that regard.
What we do in the shadows.
I used to not skip POI(Person Of interest), every intro had characters from the episode.
X Files
Moonlighting
Muppet Show
Hill Street Blues
First time around there was no option to skip them. Perhaps that's a contributing factor to why they're so good and re-watchable.
Dark. Westworld.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)
Big mouth, has a great opening song "Changes" by Charles Bradley
The Equalizer.
The OG one from way back when.
All of them. I don't skip intros and I've never understood why anyone does.
If I'm watching another episode immediately, I don't want the intro again so I'll skip that.
I'm going to cheat and say Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul.
For me its Amazons Wheel of Time series. Seeing the threads get woven into the images of the world and then all coming together to be spun by the great wheel gets me emotional. They could bomb the remaining seasons and I would still be grateful for the opening.
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.
