Little surprised I didn't Buck Rogers mentioned in this thread. That's one of very very few I might actually occasionally not just skip through. It's so iconic it's even been notably spoofed several times.

Hands down: Barney Miller

If it don’t make you stand up and play air bass - you are not human.

I pretty much will skip any intro if the option is made available to me, except for one show. Game of Thrones. That music got the hair on my neck standing straight up. Watched the whole thing every time.

Honorable Mention (cartoon): Johnny Quest (original series)


Jonny Quest intro (1964)

Yep. With that jazz score from Hoyt Curtin.

Also, this one, which changed slightly over its 8 seasons:

MANNIX

Another great jazz theme, that one by Lalo Schifrin (who also did the Mission: Impossible theme)

The Punisher.

Not just the theme, but all of the armaments coming together to form the skull logo.

Every now and then I’ll pull this up on YouTube just because it brings the whole experience of watching that season flooding back. That intro is a total masterpiece

I’m really liking the intro for Only Murders in the Building. They took the theme from the old Serial podcast and added a catchy tune to it. Great show too with some all-time comedy greats - Steve Martin and Martin Short.

Four pages and no one has said Tour of Duty yet? I used to get chills watching that intro with Fade to Black playing, it’s the GOAT.
