This. Just because I want to see what regions the episode will be taking place in.
Bojack Horseman, the song slaps and there's way too many Easter eggs and jokes slipped onto the various intros to ignore them.
I love how the intro changes depending on what happened in the previous episode, or what will happen. Take Bobo the Zebra. A changing intro gives me a reason to watch it, and yes the song slaps. I particularly love the full version we don't get to hear a lot of.
My wife claps during the Friends intro credits. Every time. EVERY. TIME.
She'll be in the other room, and hear it on the TV... I hear the clap clap, clap clap from her as it plays.
The song lives rent free in my head regularly
Breaking Bad
Tbf it would be hard to reach the skip button before it's already over
I appreciate short and to the point intros like Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul as well!
For me its Gravity Falls. I love the music.
I should rewatch it soon, probably one of my favorite tv-shows of all time
The Expanse. Just so beautiful!
Seconded. The Expanse's intro song is amazing!
Succession. Love the music.
The Sopranos, it really sets the mood. Game of Thrones too. And The Wire!
I liked the Dexter intro too. Breaking Bad, though its pretty short. And House MD when it was Massive Attack.
All of those HBO shows have great intros. I've heard HBO had a thing where they forced their showrunners to come up with an iconic and high quality intro. Apparently Mike Judge didn't really want to do a big long intro for Silicon Valley, so they compromised and came up with the short intro that has tons of little hidden details.
Hold up... they stopped using Massive Attack as the intro music for House? I must have stopped watching it by the time it changed.
First season of true detective
Scrubs - it is short enough not to skip it and it's also fairly catchy!
Malcolm in the Middle and Community for me, for the same reasons.
Malcolm in the Middle's slaps because it's played by They Might Be Giants
All of them. Intros set a mood, and thatβs a really important part of consuming any piece of content for me.
White lotus. So funky
Parks and recs because it's so upbeat. Homeland too but for an entirely different reason
Peacemaker
Back in the 90's...
Doctor Who.
dundundundun dundundundun
Omg it's been years since I watched it and I just heard the theme in my head like it was the first time... I need to rewatch it now
The Office US. Gets all the happy chemicals flowing.
Actually, now that you reminded me of Gravity Falls, that one too. And for me at least, in both cases the music is doing the heavy lifting. Such great tunes, how can you skip that?
Speaking of great music, I haven't watched a full episode of GoT, but the intro is amazing! I look it up every now and then just to listen.
I havenβt watched much of the office US but I can agree that the intro is very solid
Spongebob Squarepants!
Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica TOS.

Spectacular Spiderman
Mushoku Tensei / Jobless Reincarnation
Great music, setting mood in an exceptional way, every episode different background / scenes in it, exceptional for world-building.
Bob Morane
Expanse!
a) it's really cool how they update the credits to go with the storyline b) watching as Mars/Earth/Luna build and grow over time b) I want to float around Saturn
Can we only pick one?
- Daredevil
- The Punisher
- Every Star Trek show

Generally just shows, which I love to sing along to

Malcolm in the Middle
ER and Third Watch speaking of 90's shows, but also Ted Lasso and Brooklyn Nine - Nine
Fringe - especially the 80s flashback version.
