Ask Lemmy

Cowboy Bebop

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.

No one said Futurama yet?

• Succession (and it's not even close, this is clear cut #1 for the slap factor)
• Bluey
• Halt and Catch Fire
• True Detective S1
• The Righteous Gemstones (cheating since it's only 10 seconds)
• The Brady Bunch
• Dragonball Z (Toonami airing)
• Scooby Doo, Where Are You? S2
• White Lotus S1 (this is so close to Succession for me)
• Westworld S1
• Severance

House

Massive Attack - Teardrop

For me, The Expanse

Westworld

Peacemaker, I watched that intro every single time.

Take my love, take my land..

The Expanse

No love for Stranger Things intro here 😟

Sopranos.

Futurama

Mythbusters

King of the Hill

Metalocalypse

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Cowboy Bebop and Bluey.

Gravity Falls.

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.

Edit:typos

Firefly, because the music was so good

Gravity Falls

Westworld .

And top gear (the proper Clarkson/Hammond/May one, not that other thing)

House M.D. (2004)

Daredevil (2015)

The Expanse (2015)

The Expanse, the music is awesome

King of the Hill, Twin Peaks.

Dexter. Always makes me want to eat an eggs and ham breakfast.

The Expanse

House. The original intro with Tear Drop is a banger.

Malcolm in the Middle. Haven’t seen it in years, but I never skipped the theme song.

Bluey!

Better Call Saul

Short, sweet, and generally relevant to the episode in an almost easter-eggish way.

The Wire

Gotta keep the devil in his hole

Animaniacs!

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked…

The Simpsons
