got a favorite TV show intro?

[Pauly 4001]

One more, then I’ll leave some for others to post, lol

But the first season had a better arrangement don't you think?

And many of John Williams' cues are pretty darn good too.

Years ago I lived with my sister when her kids were little. Heard this lot, and it's still in my brain. Thankfully, I like it.

[Wood and Wire]

Peter Gunn




Dick Barton




The Night Stalker




Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy






and my happy place...

Taxi




This probably qualifies as my all time favourite opening credits sequence, that manages to distil everything you need to know about the back story, into a few key images, and set it against the most unlikely music, to create something utterly beautiful...

Raised by Wolves






Oh, and as someone who gets genuinely outraged if copycat film makers so much as use the same font as John Carpenter; I was surprised to find that I actually love the titles for

Stranger Things

Thats the Illikai hotel and I've been there many times. I've not been in that suite but I've been close.

Two facts:

1. the Hawaii 5-0 theme is the main song for the Univ. of Hawaii football team
2. Jack Lord has a life like bust at the Kahala Mall near Macy's.

Yup

How about a lion named Clarence and a chimp named Judy ?

Maybe not my favorite, but the opening and closing theme songs to Combat rank fairly high.

Before Happy Days, there was L.A.S. Cowsills Tune:

 

[Don Kasper]

This...
Patrick Wiliams, composer.

I liked it so much, I used my 1988 Walkman to record it (off of the TeeVee) and transcribed it...that's what we did back in the Old Days.

how could i forget about that one!

how could i forget about that one!

Some people thought Frank Zappa wrote it with its Zappa-esque musical form but he did not. His Synclavier was used to create the theme song and his son Dweezil was the voice for Ajax Duckman.

Frank was to be involved but got too sick to participate and died before its airing. On episodes throughout season 1 they did use some of his commercial releases.

The first episode “I Duckman” was dedicated to Frank Zappa.
