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.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

I think The Sopranos is up there too.

@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.

Really?

As much as I love that show, I find the opening very plain.

Entourage's is pretty cool and sets the mood of the show.

@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.
