Doesn't stick in the head as much as most of the stuff up here. I looked through youtube but it seems there's loads of different versions based on country. The European versions are different from the American version, ours are a bit more laid back, little less beat and screech, more melody. French season 3 opening, still different from the Dutch S2 version that I've got in my head. jim_doki: AuntyEthel: |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2610 Joined: 27 Aug 2008    | The real Batman intro is still probably the 'best' quality intro to cartoon I can recall. Actually Batman Beyond has a half decent one even if it is a bit 'darker and edgier'. But there's a cool rave bit at about 0.35 thats pretty sweet. Of course if you like cheese with your morning cartoons you could do a lot worse than The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers! Just saying but this one has a raptor, a chick with a shotgun combat rolling and Cadillacs: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. |

I prefer the 2nd gig intro myself :) |

I must admit I kinda like both of those. Don't think I have ever (or will ever) see them on TV thougth... |

I can't remember how I've heard of it! I think I used to watch it on the Sci-Fi channel's Saturday morning cartoon run years ago. --- The Justice League DCAU intro music is awesome, the actual intro itself is hampered by shoddy CGI. Oh oh, and King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. If this description doesn't excite you nothing will:

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 549 Joined: 24 Sep 2008 | I really like the intro to House M.D. It's a great thirty second clip. Even though the entire song isn't bad. Teardrops by Massive Attack. And really? Noone suggested this? (Ignore the first Three seconds, but its the only vid I could find. But to win the thread and the internets in general. |

you are my new hero. Just for the awesome random shows you are introducing me too. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2610 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 | I feel kind of invested with this now! No Red Dwarf yet? Ha, ha, ha. The Legend of Prince Valiant. Sounds like a half arsed Genesis rip off but love it all the same. And of course Swat Kats; after all what saves the day faster than wailing guitars? Awesome recent one with Samurai Jack. Lets kick it up a notch with some quality hip hop: |

I like your second choice, I'd forgotten all about Scrubs, I like their newer intro better tho'. I actually like Scrubs the show too, unlike the Powerranges, but I do like the powerranges intro. =] |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2610 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 |
Classics. But never saw Samurai Pizza Cats though. My friend do go on about it. Saw this: The Centurions; Ace McCloud daring air operations! Ace McCloud? Really? Hell yeah. Need I say more than Captain Power and the Soldier of the Future |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2063 Joined: 23 Jan 2008   | How come nobody mentioned This yet? Easily the most beautiful intro in the 80's... I mean... Come on... If we put nostalgia aside though, I'd have to say The original death note intro just beats everything... I'm sorry, but it's just downright perfect. |

Same here, actually. It's so bad with me that if I ever (on purpose or by accident) start up the WHR intro, I MUST listen to the entire thing. If I cut it off, I will HAVE to go back to it within that day and hear the whole thing. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. I considered suggesting Cowboy Bebop, but the actual theme music isn't nearly as good as a lot of other Bebop songs. The intro is great, but Witch Hunter Robin is packing that one-two punch of perfect opening matched with perfect music. I didn't realized just how meaningful that opening was until I was watching the series again. It's rare to find an anime op that contains exposition and character development in it. Also, I think the opening is really good from an artistic standpoint. The animation, for one thing, is without peer (for what it's trying to be). That Outlaw Star song is another one that's hard to stop listening to. In some ways I consider the song better than the entire series. In response to the TMNT intro that was posted, I'll post the other, new one. I like it better. The cartoon's not bad, either. |

Oi! I posted those already! And in response to the same post. |

Yeah, that's pretty much the theme song to end all theme songs. And this is coming from someone who loved Power Rangers/it's theme. User was banned for: Oh god, bees.. (Permanent) |

I never lived in the States and I saw those shows. |

Heh, just about everyone I know calls it MyST because 'Em Ess Three Tee Kay' takes too much effort to say apparently. Loved that show to pieces, the amount each episode made me laugh was just awesome. And yeah, no Captain Planet? But he's the hero! |

Colour me stupid. Really? I used to watch cartoons on British and German tv all the time but never caught them. I always just pronounced myst3k as myst-eck, bit leet-speakish but it works. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 960 Joined: 17 Aug 2008    | ...You all make me sad, I can't watch it yet. I'm at my school, and the school computers don't let youtube up. But if it's good enough to beat Bill Nye the Science Guy, I'm sure it's damn good. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 884 Joined: 19 Sep 2008 |
Carmen Sandiego was absolute shite, and Bill Nye only had a cool intro (I always used to watch the intro then change the channel). So you didn't miss out on much. |
Muckraker  Posts: 252 Joined: 11 Nov 2008 | Its been 2 pages and no-ones mentioned an all time great http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Mh7hhaqhk Animaniacs and Tiny Toons were always the best though. Just look on youtube for various clips and it's still unbelievebly good. Way better then what kids get nowadays. Pity you can't buy DVDs of them in the UK. |

Those are great TV shows and the intro music may therefore be timelessly classic... but are they the best?
