The Prisoner

Watched this as an impressionable young child back when it came to the US in the late 1960s. Loved it ever since (but of course those of you who are not fans of long intros would hate it, as it's roughly 3 minutes long and on almost every episode). Theme music is by Rod Grenier, who also wrote the iconic theme for Doctor Who.

While finding the above link, I came across this fan-made parody/homage, which is absolutely brilliant

So even "good" ones aren't something that I feel compelled to watch and not skip.
Especially when binging or just watching a couple of episodes in succession.

Season 5 of the Wire's into is pretty bad. Bad cover of the song and stupid newspaper clips cut in.
When re-watching The Wire, I watch the intro for the first episode of a season and never watch it again.

I like the music and the visuals of the Bosch intro, and the Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan intros, but don't watch them every time.

When I watched those, I had to watch the themes every time unless I left the room.
And we liked it!
