The Wire
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.
Even.. you know.. that Trek intro...?
Dark. Westworld.
The Equalizer.
The OG one from way back when.
All of them. I don't skip intros and I've never understood why anyone does.

The rest I was going to suggest have been mentioned already!
Not mentioned yet: Lie to Me intro. Love how they show little twitches and movements and close it with open emotions.
Thanks to those beautiful souls actually linking the intros in this thread so we can watch them lol
Supernatural and Peacemaker
Grimm. In the first few seasons they had very very short intros with little hints of what the story would be in it.
For me, Justified.
A lot of people dislike that song, but I love it. It's a nice 'new south' sound.

Inside Job. The original song the intro samples isn't that great. But the intro to the show has an amazing beat that I wish went on for longer then it does.
The Wire. The opening themes are pretty great (with the exception of Season 5) and for some intangible reason the intro always feels like a core part of setting me up emotionally for the episode. Especially with Season 4. The ominous and dark rendition from the Baltimore school kids feels like an essential mood setting piece for a very sobering season.
Agreed about The Wire, but not about S5, I love that one too :-)
Watching through S5 for the first time right now and it's growing on me. I think I'm not keen on the vocalist? S2's theme was my favourite, which I believe is the original version of the song? Also I freaking love season 2. Genuinely think it's my favourite of the four I've watched.

Ah yes good point. I love the variations of the song and the images would slowly change during each season.
Also, not skipping it was the best way to catch the coda/saying at the beginning.
Those epigraphs are so brilliant. I'm always on tenterhooks waiting for the line to come up in the episode.
Me too. And it always gives another layer of significance.
Damn that was some good writing.
Oh, I never skip intros. I also don't usually watch multiple episodes in a row though, so maybe that's why.
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.
