I don't know how Perry Mason or Hawaii 5-0 or The Outer Limits or the George Reeves Superman or Fringe have been overlooked. PS Or Lost in Space. PPS Curse senile dementia! Dragnet!
Best Music - Millennuim Best Visual - Game of Thrones Best Music + Visual - The Prisoner Pitch perfect combination of rattling music, striking imagery and bizzare shit. Just like the show. Hugo - Is a number, and no longer feels like a free man
I think that's one reason I didn't get into the Muppet Show that much. I'd see the ITC logo and get excited that Space: 1999 was coming on, then I'd get disappointed that it was only the Muppet Show.
Can't help it, I'm a sucker for the style of the 70's, 80's and early 90's Highwayman Riptide Hardcastle and McCormick Street Hawk Simon & Simon Stingray (NBC show) Scarecrow and Mrs. King Hart to Hart Cagney & Lacey Airwolf
^Me too. Rewatched it on DVD recently and it still mostly holds up. Except for the awful 90s power-ballads at the end of some eps.
Dexter would be my choice too. That opening might be the most perfect blend of elements to capture the show of anything I've ever seen. Comedic, disjointed, obscure, symbolic, quirky foreboding & perverse
Just had a flash about the 90s sitcom Wings. I remember the opening sequence being a classical piece along with a the plane flying through the clouds. It's been a long time, not sure if there was anything other than that, but I remember it being very zen-like.
When I was a little kid, the first few seconds of the Ironside opening gave me the creeps. Seemed pretty heavy compared to other opening credits in the early '70s. Great Quincy Jones theme, too. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_tGF-t7YWg[/yt]
Some random ones that come to mind: Roughnecks: Starship Trooper Chronocles Witch Hunter Robin Black Lagoon Tokyo Majin When They Cry Blood+ Opening 2 Starship Operators .hack//SIGN Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (the 2nd opening is better but I can't find it) Sol Bianca: The Lagacy
Some classics to add to zakkrusz' list: Gundam 08th MS Team (1995) Gundam 00 (2007) Initial D - Extreme Stage (2008) Macross Frontier (2007) Full Metal Panic (1998) Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) Cowboy Bebop (1998) Guilty Crown (2011) Angel Beats (2010) Ai Yori Aoshi (2002) Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1988)
It's a goddamn disgrace that the most awesome theme of all hasn't even been mentioned: [yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAHvsCb-6vU&feature=fvwrel[/yt] You're welcome!
I'll raise you a 70's cop show intro and throw in different versions of it too. Your call! Killer car too. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SS3b9coJ2M[/yt] [yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsJ4pALlbEM[/yt] [yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD6R7EXpCUw[/yt]
I'm a pretty big fan of "The Newsroom"'s opening. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5TxEix6mdU[/yt]
