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.

Farscape - just love the music.
Babylon 5 season 3. Same reason. Why did they use this music only in the intro of season 3 is beyond me. (Although they used it in outro in season 4). The rest of the seasons they have very cheesy music in the intro.

Futurama

Doctor who (tenth seasons specifically)

Orange is the New Black I sang along every time.

I used to not skip POI(Person Of interest), every intro had characters from the episode.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beastars for sure. The song itself is Wild Side by ALI.

Battlestar Galactica, Haven, Fringe, Orphan Black,

and there are a few more I don't skip more often than I do, like DS9, Stargate: Atlantis, Rome and the Tudors.

Some series just have really nice intros!

New intro to true detective. Its a refreshing change from all the GoT type intros that has become ubiquitous.

[–] tuto193@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm going to cheat and say Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul.

The Equalizer.

The OG one from way back when.

[–] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Moonlighting

Muppet Show

Hill Street Blues

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.

Such a catchy song! And the dancing is freaking hilarious. Brought a grin to my face every episode.

For me its Amazons Wheel of Time series. Seeing the threads get woven into the images of the world and then all coming together to be spun by the great wheel gets me emotional. They could bomb the remaining seasons and I would still be grateful for the opening.

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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.

True blood, ultimate vibe setter

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Dark. Westworld.

What we do in the shadows.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.
