Spinoff- Best TV Intro

I think it can be narrowed down to 2, for both radically different reasons: one is simple and to the point, and the other is elaborate and helps the viewers keep up with the plot.
1) LOST. It is quick, brief, disturbing, and to the point. It instantly puts the viewers in the tone of the show. It started off as JJ Abrams just halfassing it putting a windows screensaver there simply for the studio, but when Giacchino put actual effort into that unsettling theme, they kept it.
2) Game of Thrones: a no-brainer. There’s never been a show where you anticipate the opening titles, and they pull it off. Very elaborate and memorable. It actually helps with the viewers understanding the plot itself. How many shows can say that? It’s an opening sequence so good that I’m honestly not sure if the show can function without it.
So those are basically tied for me for radically different reasons, but what are yours?

There is only one correct answer to this thread:
Walker Texas Ranger
Chuck Norris singing his own theme song.

Voyager's was really good

One I rarely see mentioned that I absolutely love is the opening titles of Daredevil.

Umm...
The X-Files is the absolute GOAT.
I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire. True Blood had an intro that was proportionally as good as the show was terrible. I'd second the Dexter mention as well.

I'll add True Detective season 1
Fresh Prince and Saved by the Bell intros are also classics.
