Is this the best into song to a T.V. show EVER?

[rossatdi]

The real [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=m-u07UEDT5I"]Batman[/a] intro is still probably the 'best' quality intro to cartoon I can recall.

Actually [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ztYTg_gLnTo"]Batman Beyond[/a] has a half decent one even if it is a bit 'darker and edgier'. But there's a cool rave bit at about 0.35 thats pretty sweet.

Of course if you like cheese with your morning cartoons you could do a lot worse than [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HMpsAmWbSJg&feature=related"] The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers![/a]

Just saying but this one has a raptor, a chick with a shotgun combat rolling and Cadillacs: [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=V9c2K4Jl5LI"]Cadillacs and Dinosaurs[/a].

 

[rossatdi]

As for TV shows rather than cartoons, I rather think the [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XjRDcOW7Xp8"]Firefly[/a] one is pretty tits.

I must admit I kinda like both of those. Don't think I have ever (or will ever) see them on TV thougth...

I can't remember how I've heard of it! I think I used to watch it on the Sci-Fi channel's Saturday morning cartoon run years ago.

[a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=p81_kAFdyr8"]The Justice League[/a] DCAU intro music is awesome, the actual intro itself is hampered by shoddy CGI.

Oh oh, and [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjhbOH8m2U"]King Arthur and the Knights of Justice[/a]. If this description doesn't excite you nothing will:

The show's premise had King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table trapped in the Cave of Glass by an enchantress named Morgan le Fay. The wizard Merlin, unable to free King Arthur and the Knights himself, searches the timeline for replacement Knights.

Merlin finds the quarterback of the New York Knights football team, Arthur King, as a suitable replacement. Merlin transports Arthur King and his teammates to Camelot after one of their football games and appoints Arthur King as their leader, with his teammates as the new Knights of the Round Table.

He assigns them the task of defeating Morgana and freeing the true King and Knights. The Knights are armed with special armor and are able to summon their respective creatures at any time when in battle armor. These animals, such as King Arthur's dragon, are emblazoned on their shields.

I really like the intro to House M.D. It's a great thirty second clip.

Even though the entire song isn't bad. Teardrops by Massive Attack.

And really? Noone suggested this? (Ignore the first Three seconds, but its the only vid I could find.

you are my new hero. Just for the awesome random shows you are introducing me too.

 

[rossatdi]

I feel kind of invested with this now!

No [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_NXNnscFd30&feature=related"] Red Dwarf[/a] yet?

Ha, ha, ha. [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=B5ptWFP1kBQ"]The Legend of Prince Valiant[/a]. Sounds like a half arsed Genesis rip off but love it all the same.

And of course [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K_AdxJWFUh4"]Swat Kats[/a]; after all what saves the day faster than wailing guitars?

Awesome recent one with [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=17tFo3-DsPE"]Samurai Jack[/a].

Lets kick it up a notch with some quality hip hop:
[a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvaiazMXtI"]The Boondocks[/a]
[a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=h3aNq4h0grs"]Samurai Champloo[/a]

It'd be fair to say my childhood was marginally different in terms of viewing experience.

Ah the good old times.

 

[Dark Crusader]

For some reason I really like this intro: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=La5rZUZK_54&feature=related

But it's probably gotta be this: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=bhh7qzurMZY&feature=related

You know cos these are SONGS that introduce TV SHOWS

I like your second choice, I'd forgotten all about Scrubs, I like their newer intro better tho'.

I actually like Scrubs the show too, unlike the Powerranges, but I do like the powerranges intro. =]

Classics. But never saw Samurai Pizza Cats though. My friend do go on about it.

Saw this: [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EQT00ZSVzcg&feature=related"]The Centurions[/a]; Ace McCloud daring air operations! Ace McCloud? Really? Hell yeah.

Need I say more than [a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=M678PVOf5F0"]Captain Power and the Soldier of the Future[/a]

 

[Caliostro]

How come nobody mentioned This [http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=IuYrRebvFHc] yet? Easily the most beautiful intro in the 80's... I mean... Come on...

If we put nostalgia aside though, I'd have to say The original death note intro [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KY6vPhKDPY] just beats everything... I'm sorry, but it's just downright perfect.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=fS1-7CV_t1s

My favorite anime opening...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4nRyDvNkM0

Followed by the most "win" song I can think of.

Edit: This one's also worth a view, I guess. It's annoyingly catchy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWwEMZ5xqy0&feature=related

For that Witch Hunter Robin theme, you have just won at life. It's such a great bit of music. Has never left any of my media players since I was like 17. Kudo's on that.

I also like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY2RWg44CUQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtUpZRzE9y0

Go go Deathnote + metally stuff.

Same here, actually. It's so bad with me that if I ever (on purpose or by accident) start up the WHR intro, I MUST listen to the entire thing. If I cut it off, I will HAVE to go back to it within that day and hear the whole thing. It's one of my favorite songs of all time.

I considered suggesting Cowboy Bebop, but the actual theme music isn't nearly as good as a lot of other Bebop songs. The intro is great, but Witch Hunter Robin is packing that one-two punch of perfect opening matched with perfect music. I didn't realized just how meaningful that opening was until I was watching the series again. It's rare to find an anime op that contains exposition and character development in it. Also, I think the opening is really good from an artistic standpoint. The animation, for one thing, is without peer (for what it's trying to be).

That Outlaw Star song is another one that's hard to stop listening to. In some ways I consider the song better than the entire series.

In response to the TMNT intro that was posted, I'll post the other, new one. I like it better. The cartoon's not bad, either.
