    Gotta say: The Simpsons. Danny Elfman made one of the most iconic intro songs, and while I’m not sure the Simpsons was the first to do it, the varying intros was another iconic element.

    I really like the intro for Disenchantment as well.

    Lots of bests, but here’s some I didn’t see.

    The Expanse.

    Babylon 5, especially season 3(?) change with “It failed.”

    Old school original Battlestar Galactica.

    Knightrider and Airwolf.

    Worst? If you can’t remember them, they must be bad.

      I just watched Babylon 5 for the first time last year, and that part of the intro got an actual spoken “fuck yeah!” out of me

    I’ll always enjoy the intro to stargate atlantis just because the whole concept of the city (and it’s appearance) is so fucking cool, even with the noticably… Sufficient… CGI it’s so inherently neat that it’ll remain impressive.

    Best (that haven’t already been mentioned by others):

    (The rest are so iconic I’m not even gonna bother linking them.)

    • The Twilight Zone
    • Gilligan’s Island
    • Golden Girls
    • The Wonder Years
    • The X-Files
    • Cheers

    Worst: I dunno, because my criteria for “worst” is being forgettable.

    Polarizing/YMMV:

    • M*A*S*H
    • Cops

    Weeds. I believe starting in S2, they start doing the same song, same intro, but in different styles. I believe they even had green day cover it at one point.

    Arthur and the Knights of Justice: awful show but badass 90s cartoon intro.

    Clone High: more shows should give me a theme song I can recite to explain the show to others.

    Daria: amazing show and the intro just fits the era and mood perfectly

    The White Lotus Season seasons 1 and 2. I find the third season intro really flat in comparison.

    I don’t know any bad TV intros. My favorites are Burn Notice and Leverage, and I’m unsure if it’s nostalgia but my absolute favorite was always Renegade

    “He was a cop, and good at his job, but he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops gone bad. Cops that tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter, a renegade.”
