I love how the intro changes depending on what happened in the previous episode, or what will happen. Take Bobo the Zebra. A changing intro gives me a reason to watch it, and yes the song slaps. I particularly love the full version we don't get to hear a lot of.
Found out when I worked at a grocery store that there is a "full version" of the Friends intro, because it was in the playlist of music that would play on the store speakers
When they put it up on streaming it changed. They had different songs in different regions when it originally aired and the streaming version uses one of the other songs. Seems like a licensing thing?
All of those HBO shows have great intros. I've heard HBO had a thing where they forced their showrunners to come up with an iconic and high quality intro. Apparently Mike Judge didn't really want to do a big long intro for Silicon Valley, so they compromised and came up with the short intro that has tons of little hidden details.
The initial engine boost on a Federal Corvette sounds like the cliffhanger-ending sound from the old pre-reboot doctor who, and it messes with my head every time.
The Office US.
Gets all the happy chemicals flowing.
Actually, now that you reminded me of Gravity Falls, that one too. And for me at least, in both cases the music is doing the heavy lifting. Such great tunes, how can you skip that?
Speaking of great music, I haven't watched a full episode of GoT, but the intro is amazing! I look it up every now and then just to listen.
a) it's really cool how they update the credits to go with the storyline
b) watching as Mars/Earth/Luna build and grow over time
b) I want to float around Saturn
If it's less than 10 seconds, I won't skip because it's equally a hassle to skip. So far that's only been maybe Scrubs? These 90 second intros can buzz off man... GoT, Westworld, motherland... No thanks.
I was literally about to comment the same thing-Faith of the Heart popped into my head. I really disliked it at first, but it grew on me. Strongly dislike the remix they did for seasons 3 and 4.
DS9 is my favorite Trek, but it's the one whose intros I'm most likely to skip.
yeah same here. At first it was so different than anything else that i did not like it. But damn, its so good. The remix is terrible and i dont know why they did it, i skip it every time.

This. Just because I want to see what regions the episode will be taking place in.

Bojack Horseman, the song slaps and there's way too many Easter eggs and jokes slipped onto the various intros to ignore them.

My wife claps during the Friends intro credits. Every time. EVERY. TIME.
She'll be in the other room, and hear it on the TV... I hear the clap clap, clap clap from her as it plays.

I can’t stand that show (or Jimmy Fallon’s), but the CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP hook slaps.

All of them. Intros set a mood, and that’s a really important part of consuming any piece of content for me.

The Sopranos, it really sets the mood. Game of Thrones too. And The Wire!
I liked the Dexter intro too. Breaking Bad, though its pretty short. And House MD when it was Massive Attack.
lodion@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 3y
Hold up... they stopped using Massive Attack as the intro music for House? I must have stopped watching it by the time it changed.
