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.

Oh, I never skip intros. I also don't usually watch multiple episodes in a row though, so maybe that's why.
Braindead, a new song by Jonathan Coulton every week
I don't skip any of them. They're so short nowadays, anyway. If I'm impatient enough to skip the opening, then I'm probably not that into it and shouldn't be watching the show anyway.
Anyway, Law & Order, lol
Adventure time, the song is a banger and the whole thing lasts like 15 seconds.
Thanks to those beautiful souls actually linking the intros in this thread so we can watch them lol
Top gear
I skip all the intros after watching them once. Knocking 2min off an episode really adds up.
WUN PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Deep Space 9 from season 4 onwards. I found it pretty boring and lifeless in the earlier seasons. The ships at and around the station made it a lot more interesting, and i like the updated music
Human Target until they messed up the intro (and everything else) with the disastrous season 2.
The music and art were top-tier and set me up for adventure.

The Peripheral. The graphics are cool and I really dig the main theme music for it’s menace.
I listened to the Inside Job theme for all 6 minutes 54 seconds it would play (22 seconds per episodes). It never overstayed its welcome
I wasn't the hugest fan of the overall show--it was fine--but I enjoyed how they mixed up the intro song for The Leftovers. I oftened listened through the credits as a result.
Avatars intro slaps. I'll never skip it.
Star Trek
American Horror Story
Although I don't usually skip intros unless I'm in a serious binge mood or short on time.
I pretty much exclusively watch animes with killer intros, so I don't skip any of them
I ain't skipping Noir's, or Akudama Drive's, least of all Land of the Lustrous
Gate sucks but everything by Kishida Kyoudan and the Akeboshi Rockets fuckin slaps
Haibane Renmei's intro feels good to listen to, it's like a warm blanket for the soul
