Simple. Post a youtube of your favourite TV show intros/opening titles or you could even include themes and closing titles if you want. Stick to one youtube entry at a time.
Here's one of my all-time favourite shows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CtjhWhw2I8
This show's intro always gets me pumped:
Press Your Luck, CBS 1983-86
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLMoG_GEoI4
The Time Tunnel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP2TEdOAldQ
John Williams' music + Funky 60's imagery = Great Intro
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfKvJq-bAzQ&feature=related
Police Squad!
Damn, the intro is funny.. for starters, it's a 1982 show and they say "IN COLOR!". :bouncegiggle:
Also, the guest star always gets killed in the opener, and the narrator gives a different episode title than what is shown onscreen. :teddyr:

The Twilight Zone (actually this show had several memorable intros)
Usually I do. We're so shorthanded at work I won't be 'round much so I did two.
Since TZ is already up, I'll post this one:

Oddly I never actually liked the show,though.
I loved this intro when I was young; it often signalled a holiday cartoon.

Ozzymandias speaks: I remember being facinated by this one as a small child. It is very intricate and well designed. I would love to see the show now because it is about journalist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-xExiIxS48
Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

Battlestar Galactica had a good intro thanks to a rousing score, and great FX by John Dykstra. Also, the opening narration with planets and nebulas is quite beautiful.
This one's pretty catchy.

I thought this was the best opening for this show.. well-animated and busy!

I loved this show as a kid (and today, thru YouTube clips).. the only game show I know of where the whole intro is animated.
WHEW! (1979)

Love the old Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons series. The closing theme music is awesome.

Buck Rogers. Gotta be the first season intro with the William Conrad narration though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1obwMjzUY9M
And I have to admit to liking the extended intro of the pilot movie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77H5nHdcyQM

UFO was pretty dang cool IMHO.
I really liked this opening for MNF most. The helmets smashing into each other to the familiar theme. I like it a lot better than some Country Western star ripping off their own song and adding football lyrics.

Classic WWF Raw is War intro...
Nice piece of music, and the narrator's got a great voice.

Ozzymandias speaks: The MNF music was also used by a syndication company called SFM for their monthly movie specials in the 70s and 80s call the SFM Holiday Network.
I can stand Hank Jr. (Redneck guys that beat me up in junior high and high school listened to him) but at least that song inspired a great MST3k gag.

I don't know if it was posted, but, the 3rd Season Intro to Lost In Space. I met many times and became pen pals with Jonathan Harris in the late 80's up till his death in 2004. It always struck me as an optomistic opening and it was at the height of the space race in the USA. One of my all time favorites. :smile:

That'll work. It's blocked here at our library,too...something about bandwidth. I just have to grab off of youtube and post real fast. :teddyr:
