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.

If you happen to remember which episodes, please let me know! I haven’t noticed that on any of my pass throughs.
My mind was blown while re-watching The Wire (where I also never skipped the intro). I said to myself “The singers change but the song remains the same.” Then my brain blew up because that’s the entire point of the series.

I listened to House MD on crappy "watchtvforfree.net" type websites over a decade ago, and I only just realized now that the theme wasn't supposed to change every episode. I just checked YouTube for the intro and I'm super familiar with all three versions haha

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.

hitmyspot@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 2y
I think it's that you create it in your mind. Similar to how a book is always better than a movie. When they allied to stabbing with the key or stabbing with the ketchup, you are creating the real opening in your head.
It's also a little bit tongue in cheek, which matches the dark show set in sunny Miami, with a nice guy serial killer.
livus@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
True. The way he glances toward the camera at the end is very tongue in cheek and means it starts the episode with a reminder of our complicity/alignment with him.

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.

Most if not all shows. The intro was made by passionate musicians, animators, editors, and other creative people who work on my favorite shows. It's part of the presentation and the vibe of the program. It's like skipping the opening scene. But to answer your question more directly, I watch every single last second of any Trek intro.

I imagine it started back when you could record TV onto VHS, you could FF through all of the intros, but since the "binging" era of netflix, all streaming services want you back in the action right away so they give you the option to skip. People get addicted to binging shows and they don't want anything to delay their mild dopamine hit. I don't get it either.

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.
WatTyler@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
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.
livus@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
Ah yes good point. I love the variations of the song and the images would slowly change during each season.
Also, not skipping it was the best way to catch the coda/saying at the beginning.

WatTyler@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Watching through S5 for the first time right now and it's growing on me. I think I'm not keen on the vocalist? S2's theme was my favourite, which I believe is the original version of the song? Also I freaking love season 2. Genuinely think it's my favourite of the four I've watched.
livus@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Yeah S2 version is Tom Waits. Everyone made it their own though.
S3 for me.
sanguinepar@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Yeah, I absolutely love Season 2 as well. I think the first will always be my favourite, but there's so much goodness to choose from!
Re the singer for S5, that's Steve Earle who is also in the show as Waylon, Bubbles' sponsor at NA :-)
WatTyler@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 2y
Right, so, you won't believe me but I totally thought the vocalist could be Waylon but then I just figured that they'd gone for someone local to sing it and it was a bit sheltered of me to assume that Waylon's actor was the only one with that accent 😅
Thanks for confirming.

It's an anime, and nearly cheating but for me it was Mushoku Tensei Season 1
There was an intro song, but while it was playing there would be B Rolls of whatever part of the setting was pertinent for the episode.
It was awesome, but then they did a normal intro for Season 2, which struck me as a bad decision.
