Which show past or present has the best opening? What did you take into consideration? The theme song, visuals?

MacGyver. Especially when there was an opening gambit to go along with the episode.

X-Files only because of the theme music.

Charlie's Angels is very distinctive and the ladies are smokin'.


But the best has to be The Twilight Zone's intro.

@buzz_killington: Until they changed the opening in season 8 or whatever. On the odd occasion when they changed THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE final shot to some other message was always a wtf moment. I was never expecting it and if I missed it I was awwh, was that supposed to be important info?

Simpsons, and I liked Arrested Development's, if only for the infectious intro music.

Also, I'm very fond of Supernatural's. They change it each season, and it's always just a joy to look at, but it's also very brief. The special opening for the Christmas episode was goddamn awesome as well.

I'm quite a fan of Clone High's opening. Who can't be? The whole thing is a freaking play on crappy high school dramas.


Best cartoon to date. This of course counting Frisky Dingo, which sadly doesn't have an intro.

@Snipzor: Never seen Clone High, infact if it wasn't for a few guys talking about it around Giantbomb I wouldnt have even heard about it either. Theme seems cool though.

And if by admitting this some angry fan is going to send a league of assassins after me please ask them to do it quick and painless. I don't deserve it.

@c1337us: Oh, in that case allow me to call back the hit squad.

Just so you know, the entire series is on Youtube. For your leisure.

@Snipzor: Information gladly received.

Just to clarify I dont support modern day piracy. Once eye patches, peg legs, rum and talking parrots were taken out of the equation the whole movement became dead to me.

The artistic choice:  The Twilight Zone.

My homer pick (also quite well deserving though):  Arrested Development!

Trailer Park Boys. Adds a touch of classiness to the show.

@Snipzor:
Honorary mention to Clone High. Its intro (and outro) theme has always entranced me.

@sidescroller:  I know, that's why I love it so much since it's the complete opposite of what the show is and I just love how the intro usually ends in screaming and then goes to the soothing song...cracks me up every time, but maybe that's just me.

I'm gonna go with Dexter or Mad Men. Skews a little modern, sure...  but damn if both of those don't nail the feel of the show perfectly.

@Absurd: I'll agree with you on that one. I liked though how they tried to change the original intro in like season 2 or 3. Then so many people complained that they went back to the original. It was that good.

Also Aqua Teen Hunger Force, I love the intro to that show.

I don't even like anime and I think that's a great intro.
