For me it was GoT, I just thought the miniature landscapes looked way too cool. Also I am watching Kimmy Unbreakable which has a theme song that I think is pretty catchy.

i usually only watch the first episode intro, and then the finale intro, except for cases where the intro is a banger like:

bojack horseman

breaking bad

too old to die young

Battlestar Galactica, Haven, Fringe, Orphan Black,

and there are a few more I don't skip more often than I do, like DS9, Stargate: Atlantis, Rome and the Tudors.

Some series just have really nice intros!

New intro to true detective. Its a refreshing change from all the GoT type intros that has become ubiquitous.

[–] Chiwyl@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Can't believe no one mentioned Mad Men yet!

Amazing opening theme and it does such a great job building a sense of place. Even during the show's most dramatic arcs, it does a great job of reminding us that the show is fundamentally about a very normal, relatable man with very normal and relatable concerns.

I adore The Sopranos.

Bob's Burgers was my answer, too. Doesn't overstay its welcome. Catchy jingle. New gags every intro. Boom, it's over.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Beastars for sure. The song itself is Wild Side by ALI.

I used to not skip POI(Person Of interest), every intro had characters from the episode.

I cannot believe there's so many. And I'm sure I've missed a few. Damn

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Most if not all shows. The intro was made by passionate musicians, animators, editors, and other creative people who work on my favorite shows. It's part of the presentation and the vibe of the program. It's like skipping the opening scene. But to answer your question more directly, I watch every single last second of any Trek intro.
