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.

Iirc the GoT intros gave you a hint about the episode by highlighting the map areas that the episode was going to cover. But S8 ended up being so bad that it went back in time and ruined the entire series for me, so I never rewatched it and might be misremembering.

Right now I never skip the intro for What We Do in the Shadows. It’s the same every time, but the song is just too much fun to skip. I am probably on my fourth watching of that series.

I think I also sit through most of the Star Trek intros just because I enjoy the visuals.

We got ripped off in the UK with some teardrop-like library music

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They've since lost the rights to Teardrop so all the newer copies have that crappy theme. I had to do a lot of digging to find a version of the series with Teardrop.

Dexter was great, set a good vibe that matched the shows tone.

Game of thrones was just really well done with good music.

Buffy. Great high energy start, especially after the explanation intro. Goes straight to action

Lost, its short but it was atmospheric, cryptic and the reason it's short is they wanted to use the time for more story, as the ad levels had increased tv wide so on broadcast tv it was a nice non monetary move from that show specifically.

Firefly. Not enough episodes to get sick of it.

Friends, but only a few times no skip, if its binged.

Battlestar Galactica. Gives a few hints of what's to come in the episode, without being spoilers.

Bluey is fun, kids love it and dance to it.

Thundercats, duck tales, gummi bears, chip n dale. They make me nostalgic for childhood, when you couldn't skip.

The Expanse, the music is awesome

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Also the visuals change with every episode to reflect where all the key ships and stuff are in the system!

Malcolm in the Middle. Haven’t seen it in years, but I never skipped the theme song.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Better Call Saul

Short, sweet, and generally relevant to the episode in an almost easter-eggish way.
