Best TV show intro?

What TV show do you think has the best intro? I'm watching Good Omens right now and I absolutely love the intro, but I'm also partial to the Breaking Bad intro. Share your favorite intros here. Or else.

The opening music is just so good. If I get a feeling to repeat the intro a few times, it must count something.

Why does it have to be a TV show?

Ahh yes, Bojack is amazing I had totally forgotten about that one. I love the song in the intro, but the entire series had awesome music.

Best part about the Futurama intro is the text at the bottom that changes between episodes, always a good joke there.

My daughter has me wasting time with Person of Interest. I rather like how the Intro keeps changing over the episodes notably as it changes from a one and done update of the old Equalizer (or sometimes A team) to a sci fi show. Its clever that a show gets me to actually not skip the intro all the time.

I think that's the sign of having a great intro, when the audience doesn't feel the "oh god, here comes the intro better skip it" urge whenever it comes on.

Very much that ^

I don't think it even needs to be great really. I kinda rethought my almost drone like habit of skipping since I watch online nowadays. The same people who put effort into the show put effort into the intro and it can be clever the odd bits thay toss in particularly if a show has an arc or changes.

All the more somber if you know the lyrics (from the movie)

I think there's a difference though between a show like West Wing where the intro only changes like twice throughout the entire 8 or so seasons of the show and something like Big Mouth or American Dad which regularly add visual gags to their opening intro scene.
