I didn't like the show all that much but American Gods had possibly the greatest title sequence ever made.
It's a brilliant fever dream mixing mythology and technology, drugs and sex which perfectly fits the themes of the show. That thumping electronic music suits the neon in the titles and that tired groan at the end puts an exclamation point in the whole thing.
Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.
Holy shit those intros clap.
avatar and legend of Korra. they're just banger intros
Abbott Elementary cos it's seconds long
Moone Boy
Where's me jumper? Sultans of Ping. Absolute banger. Will never skip. May replay multiple times.
All of them, I never skip the opening. But my top 5 favorites are
Land of the Lustrous (my most listened to song on YT Music for 3 years running)
Orb: On The Movements Of The Earth
And for something that isn't weeb shit, Psych
+1 for Psych.

Raised by Wolves, the best intro ever made IMO. And currently Dope Thief, also superb.

Serial Experiments Lain
I always like that jazzy intro tune to "The Nanny".
the office
Battlestar Galactica (the remake with Eddie Olmos) . It changes throughout the series, and it highlights important bits.
I'd say Firefly too, but that's just because it's awesome. Airwolf was the same way, back in its heyday, and it was cool in ways that knight rider wasn't.
But I'm here only for Battlestar today. So say we all.
I never skip intros. I love them all.
Apothecary Diaries Season 1!
Bobs burgers
Ducktales wohooo
Family Guy
Star Trek Enterprise
And as an italian 90s kid, all cartoons on air in the 2000s
Are you kidding about enterprise?
IT'S BEEN A LOOOOONG ROOOAD
no really I completely understand it can sound cringe but I enjoyed singing it almost every time
The white lotus. I didn't like season 3's theme as much as the first 2's but I still like to listen
I was unsure about the season 3 one at first but liked it more every episode.
The lack of Neon Genesis Evangelion on this list disappoints me.
Why though? Apart from the fact that every next episode the theme starts to hit differently, but still matches the tone of the overall theme.
Resident Alien, mainly because they change the graphics for every episode and throw in a gag.
From, True blood , Lost
Hogans Heroes
Lots of good mentions. Especially The Expanse and Bluey.
I'd like to highlight the masterpiece that was Andor S1 intros though.
Futurama
Itβs so short that you might as well sit through it.
The Sopranos.
Even when I'm knowingly watching another HBO show, I always hope that the Sopranos theme comes up after the HBO static
Les mystΓ©rieuses citΓ©s d'or / mysterious cities of gold
Parks and rec'
Star Treks Voyager and Lower Decks.
The Expanse. Really enjoyed the visuals of progress with that great soundtrack.
The best part about it is the subtlety. Tiny shifts across a season. Few changes in visuals across the entire run.
It is the most lovely theme song I've heard.
House. I feel bad for anybody who's not seen it with the original intro music.
The OG was Teardrop by Massive Attack, right?
Yes! It sets the tone for the show so perfectly. Just to satisfy my curiosity, I pulled up the first episode on Hulu... the new music gives a completely different tone. It's terrible!
Wait...so what is it now? And when/why was it changed?
Hulu uses what I'm pretty sure was the ending credit song in the intro. Probably to avoid Teardrop royalties or something. I hate it so much, I didn't finish the series last time I tried to watch it.
