Best: Game Of Thrones. Mad Men. Season 1 Westworld.
As much as GoT has shit the bed in the later seasons, the intro sequence including the title theme was always (and still is) amazing! It never failed to hype me up!
Firefly
My favorite intros are Bebop, Bojack, and Malcolm in the Middle, probably in that order
Shout-out to Kimmy schmidt
If I’m nostalgic, Cheers and the wonder years. Maybe fresh price.
The winner is original Addams Family
Cheers is a never skip for sure
For me, it’s gotta be Peacemaker, decent song, totally out of place dancing, love it.
Wig Wam!
Hey, it’s hard to be a rock n roller.
The Expanse is one I never skipped once on watch or rewatch (I was even annoyed that it wasn’t regular until season 2).
I fucking love the lore that develops as the seasons continue. I love the expanse intro.
Cowboy Bebop.
Peter Gunn [the original and still kicking]
Slow Horses intro is called Strange Game
Written and performed by Mick Jagger

A more serious list:
- House MD
- Dexter
- Daredevil
House is a great one, but only the Teardrop version. It hit the perfect mood for the serious tone of the medical subjects. It also makes me weirdly nostalgic for watching that in the mid-00’s with my family late at night
Faith of the Heart has grown on me a lot these last few years. I probably just miss the show.
ST ENT = Thank you to whomever invented the skip credits button.
I recently rewatched it, and when I got to season 3 and they made it even worse by adding some more beats to it I was traumatized.
Season 1 of The Wire.
It built an atmosphere of shady incompetence in the police and gang members alike.
It was interesting how it was redone for each season.
It was the same song but different angles like each season took a different look at what makes crime move through all the parts of society.
Worst? Star Trek Enterprise comes to mind
Best? I always loved the rebooted battlestar galactica intro
Babylon 5 has the best intros to a show. It changed each season.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Brooklyn 99
Best: Money Heist and more recently Arcane League of Legends
I’m a huge fan of shows that just have a title splash screen and play the intro credits unobtrusively over the first 1/3 of the show.
I always skip intros, if I can, mostly because I binge stuff and those intros can be minutes long, serving absolutely no purpose. I especially hate when they are 10+ minutes into the episode, and I have to wake my keyboard up to skip them.
Breaking Bad was good in this regard.
