Best TV opening credits

[devilof76]

How the **** did I forget Cheers? I'm ashamed.

I just started watching the full run a couple of weeks ago, so it's fresh in my head. If I hadn't been regularly pummeling myself with the nostalgia of that song, I might have forgotten it too. When you compare it to Game of Thrones, on the surface it seems silly.

I always loved CHiPs.

 

[DiFabio]

Yup, that was it! Thanks. I had no idea that was on YouTube.

And yeah, I remember boomerang and all those promos. The Cartoon Network promos for BTAS were also really cool,

Funny hearing Optimus Prime talk about Batman there. Of course, GI Joe and Transformers are also classic openings.

I think my contribution to the last thread was all cartoons. You guys aren't helping my newly found maturity at all.

 

[Batty]

Shame is the appropriate word here.

I also like the Rockford Files quite a bit, and All in the Family is hard to beat. MASH is one that works in its simplicity, like Cheers. Another great opening from my childhood:

Yeah, The Rockford Files is another great one. I love the different answering machine messages every episode.

The best thing to come out of Hasbro were those 25th anniversary collectors packs with that electronic base that played the GI joe theme for the hero set and The COBRA theme for the villains set.

Anyone else here old enough to remember this funky jam?

Oh hell yeah!

The Krofft Supershow featuring the above and also segments of Dr. Shrinker and The Lost Saucer.


Here's a funkier theme...."SPACE: 1999"

Best funk song in a TV show opening is easily Sanford and Son. Was composed by Quincy Jones. Sounds like something the Meters would have played.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Fresh Prince
Cheers
Sopranos
X-Men
Gargoyles cartoon

Visually I'm really liking the new American Horror intro

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Still two of my favorite Cartoon opening credits, The X-Men and Batman Beyond. I also like the real Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice opening credits

I despised that X-Men show when it first came on. I think Batman spoiled me.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

It's my civic duty to post Wonder Woman running....

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I despised that X-Men show when it first came on. I think Batman spoiled me.

I liked both, but Batman was better. The X Men show didn't age well,imo Still, better than Wolverine Origin

Six pages and nobody has mentioned The Six Million Dollar Man. Tsk tsk.
