Call me a something, but I really like the intro to M*A*S*H*. I mean, come on - that show's Awesome with a capital A. Presumably for Alan Alda.

 

[Ballistic Bum]

Wow how did I forget about M*A*S*H*?!

I'm ashamed of myself.

 

[sirsolo]

I stopped reading at Cowboy Bebop.

Then enjoyed memories with the intro.

Then got sad at how I don't have it anymore.

What of the A-Team?
Or.. FRIENDS?!

Nostalgia mode on:
Ulysses 31: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ4c1X5ene8
"It is the 31st century. Ulysses killed the giant Cyclops..." awesome.

and Saber Rider http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljdd1HQx1-Y
here some guy rocked the track out completely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjYULnCWQa4

Nostalgia mode off:

The Dexter Intro is very well made i think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Nmek2IDfE

Also Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell and Batman were already mentioned...

uh uh... Gungrave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J7hLdVshds is very good too.

Cosmos: Vangelis, great visuals, then a wise man speaks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7n71pm0K04

I'll have to say that The Big Bang Theory [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S8GOQeSlTs] has my favourite opening theme.
The full version of the song is even more awesome.

Also, am I the only one who thinks that the opening to Neon Genesis Evangelion [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX462lGeoXs] is freaking sweet? It's honestly my favourite part of the entire series.

And finally, what list of awesome intros would be complete without everyone's favourite environmentalist [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpXM9bj-WPU]?

 

[lgrayson]

Ghost in the Shell TV series, simply amazing...

Second that. Always a disappointment when the actual animation lacks the gloss and production of the title sequence, though.

I first saw the intro to Noir during an anime sampler night (watch the first episode of a few different series), but I had to leave before the episode itself started. The intro kept me interested enough to eventually track down the series (never finished it, though). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md2klohs0Kg

After watching Full Metal Panic (my first anime), I began browsing other series and came across Avenger, a half-season series which received average reviews. But the intro remains one of my favorites to this day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXmSNf45YPI

Finally, no one can resist the pull of Sexy Commando. This is the full first episode, and the actual intro starts at 0:34. Watch it. Just watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsSocCTNdio

 

[ROFLross]

I liked the intro to SPACED, first 5minutes was just a bit of story and then less than 10 seconds of just the title appearing across the screen.
Quicker to get into the show and enjoy it, really long intros are just annoying. Espically if you've already got a glimsp(sp) of whats already going to happen within the episode.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Either ThunderCats of Transformers dammit!

 

[Lord Krunk]

No one has mentioned the British Life On Mars Intro [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW6bg2wyO_k]? For shame!

 

[rossatdi]

(TL;DR) I like the Batman: The Animated Series. That show defined my childhood and the intro is absolutely iconic.

This.
