Favorite TV intros?

Exactly as it says in the tin...

What are your favorite TV show intros? Mine is:

It's soooo trippy and wild. I love it.

The late 90's/early 2000's were a goldmine for far too catchy cartoon show openings.

My favorite cartoon. I won't use anime, because that would be cheating, and theres no way to choose anyway

Best Spider-Man tv show to me (other than the OG 60's cartoon of course, the legend). The villain redesigns and reimaginings were amazing.

Dropping another super hero one here; 2004's The Batman, an often forgotten show that deserves some more recognition to me, and not just because of this amazing atmospheric intro.

I could go crazy posting here (I love 80's and 90's intros) but I'll exercise restraint and just post the Inspector Gadget intro because it still slaps.

My favorite TV intros mostly involve the anime I watched as a child and are closely related to the respective tunes:

Lady Oscar (Berusaiyu no bara)

Tiger Man (Taigā Masuku/Tiger Mask)

Ken il guerriero (Hokuto no Ken/original theme song), and a small exception to the rules, because what follows is a musical end theme song....

UFO Robot Goldrake (UFO Robo Gurendaizā)

The first two musical themes are interpreted by the Italian-Brazilian group “I Cavalieri del Re,” very famous here in Italy for masterfully interpreting a myriad of Japanese anime music intros.
The third song is simply the original “You wa shock!” from Hokuto no Ken, while the fourth song is undoubtedly my favorite: "Shooting star", performed by the Italian music group “Actarus.” Guys, the bass ride is simply outstanding!!!

I always thought this show was a great reboot to the original series. Its just the QuestWorld virtual reality stuff that I felt was not well done. I remember seeing the computer graphic scenes and thinking the computer graphics in Reboot were much better and that show had come out a few years prior. I can only imagine how poorly QuestWorld has aged now lol

The writing was insanely good for a kids show! Also the graphics in Questworld remind me of that one Highlander game from the 90s. lol Sorta like Alone in The Dark.

The Code Lyoko theme song (really, the whole show) completely enraptured me as a kid. We never got this series in Canada, so I'd only ever see a glimpse of it when my family was on vacation in the U.S., and it seemed so utterly cool that I'd think about it for hours on end, and it definitely informed my tastes in media. This song, A World Without Danger, is easily one of my favourite TV themes ever, and I listen to the full version all the time on Apple Music. I desperately need to watch this show all the way through sometime – I'm trying to find a subtitled version in the original French.

Ben 10 was my favourite show growing up, and this theme still slaps like an angry penguin. The guy behind this song also did the music for Hihi Puffy AmiYumi (in fact, he helped create that duo), and had a cult band in the late 90s called Jellyfish. I really love the composition of this opening – all the main characters are shown off, and the series premise is immediately understandable if you've never seen it before. (That said, Fourarms should be #4 and XLR8 should be #8. ) I've been rewatching Ben 10 lately, and it's even better than it was back then.

Did I mention I like cartoons? BECAUSE I DO!!!!

My nightmare as a kid, "but I must watch it!" said always another voice somewhere inside my head.

The nightmare of my parents, because after this I started to want every power ranger toy I could find.

And finally the nightmare... of my stomach? I was so obsessed with this that I even got sick for eating too much of a chocolate sweet that used to bring pokemon stickers inside, I needed to get them all and complete my album! (It's in my language because I prefer this version).

Here some examples of intros that I always listen

Seeing my favorite TV intros you wouldn't think I'm in my 20s, but details, lol
This was my first Netflix series that I saw when it arrived in Italy.

Not much to say, one of my favorite cartoons and one of the most epic theme songs ever.

Started this year for the first time. Magnificent theme song to say the least... but also disturbing.

And how could I not include a cartoon that I don't remember very well, but is still based on one of my favorite Disney movies?
