    Default Greatest Tv Intros of all Time

    Hi all

    Thought i would ask the question, what in you opinion was or is the greatest tv show introduction of all time?

    My personal favourite is the introduction to Original 1970s Battlestar Galactica. This is for many reasons.
    1. This is the greatest Sci-Fi show ever created (meaning the original and the new series, Season 3 kicks off October 6th if i'm not mistaken.)
    2. The music for the intro is amazing, it has such a grand feel to it. I get the shivers every time I listen to it. The musical work is brilliant and you just known this show is going to be great.
    3. Everything about that show is revolutionary at its time, nothing have every been done to the same scale before.

    Airwolf and Knightrider come in 2nd and 3rd. Such brilliant cheesy openings, especially Knight Rider

    Say what you think.

    Cheers

    How could you forget the A-Team??? I'd definitly agree with you about the original Battlestar Galactica though.
    Also, Star Trek: The next generation had quite a cool intro.

    Actually, if we are going to include cartoon shows, then the first season of Transformers had a pretty cool intro. the second season wasnt bad, but it was justly a slighty updated rehash of the original theme.

    although not an "intro" in the conventional sense with a montage etc. it has to be admitted

    "And I have felt the sudden blow of a nameless wind's cold breath,
    And watched the grisly pilgrims go that walk the roads of Death,
    And I have seen black valleys gape, abysses in the gloom,
    And I have fought the deathless Ape that guards the Doors of Doom."

    I think one of the greatest TV Intros has to be Starsky and Hutch. A Good TV Intro with one of the best TV Theme Tunes. I can't believe nobody has said Starsky and Hutch already

    The A-Team

    "In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade and into the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, these men survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if nobody else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team."
