Great opening sequence - Page 4

^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.

Pitch perfect combination of rattling music, striking imagery and bizzare shit. Just like the show.

Oh YES! The Prisoner has one of the most memorable beginnings ever! It's perfect for the series.

I really love the opening for Dexter. It's a great demonstration of how twisted ordinary things can look if you simply choose to see them that way, and how someone like Dexter sees the world all the time.

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.

Schubert's piano sonata. Love it!

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.

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

It's a goddamn disgrace that the most awesome theme of all hasn't even been mentioned:

You're welcome!

^You're right, that is awesome. Thanks.

I'll raise you a 70's cop show intro and throw in different versions of it too. Your call! Killer car too.

I'm a pretty big fan of "The Newsroom"'s opening.
