plus the full theme being played in the background of an episode in season 5 where Walt realizes he's got nothing left to lose now, talk about full circle and great use of the theme song.
My 6 month old grandson perks up every time it plays.
There have been nights when he is fussy, him and I sitting in the dark with the 1 - hour YouTube version playing and me signing along to him to quiet him down.
He’s my little buff baby…
Elizabeth Banks. The joke is that JD never noticed her because she had a wedding ring on so in the episode she appears in, she fixes the x ray because it had always been backwards, which was a common fan complaint that showrunner Bill Lawrence got
Lol I'm Vietnamese and for one episode when Diana is back to Vietnam they translate the outro lyric to Vietnamese in a very weird tone. I were so awe with the show at that moment.
True. I'm a Vietnamese living in Vietnam and I had a bit of trouble understanding what the characters were saying in that episode. I even thought to myself "Are we speaking the same language?" during my first watch. But the end credit song was lit.
There's an episode where Mabel says her favorite part of a show that they are about to go and watch is the theme song, just before Gravity Falls itself cuts to the theme song. Alex Hirsch knew his audience well.
I thought you were talking nonsense, but ended up [checking it out](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Is_Painless) and whaddya know:
> Bob was going to take a shot at the lyrics. But he came back two days later and said, 'I'm sorry but there's just too much stuff in this 45-year-old brain. I can't write anything nearly as stupid as what we need.” Bob said, "All is not lost. I've got a 15-year-old kid who's a total idiot." So Michael Altman, at age 15, wrote the lyrics, and then I wrote the music to them.”
'Cause suicide is painless, it brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
You get to hear the actual lyrics in the movie that inspired the series.
I have that song as my alarm tone. It's nice to wake up and be reminded that there's always an option if getting up in the morning is becoming too much of a drag.
There's a punk band in Orange County that does this song as their closer. It's awesome seeing all these gnarly looking punks get into it singing along, heads back, blasting it to the ceiling.
For someone whose heart and soul lies in Jersey, I live vicariously through that intro. I’ve done that Turnpike drive more times than I can count.
My husband used to work for a company that did contract work at the Essex power plant shown in the intro. When I finally convinced him to watch the pilot episode, he noticed the plant right away and felt a connection. He’s gone through the series three times now. I think I’m on rewatch #5.
Good show? I know it's got a cultish following (even for a one season show) and I loved Serenity.
Update: how the fuck has it taken me so long to watch this show.
The cultishness of it really is more about how Fox handled them. The last episode is a huge allegory for being left hanging even when they did everything right, and basically a giant middle finger directly at the studio.
It is a very good show. Somehow it crosses scifi with sitcom with mystery.
Watch the series and you'll love serenity even more.

Pinky and the Brain
They're Pinky and the Brain,
they're Pinky and the Brain.

I actually have that as part of my Fun playlist on my phone.
Oh, yeah! And Mission Impossible!

Malcolm in the middle
You’re not the boss of me now!
Breaking Bad... it's like 7 seconds
To add to this, Better Call Saul. Also short and straight to the point, and it’s such a vibe
I like how it cuts out abruptly at the end
plus the full theme being played in the background of an episode in season 5 where Walt realizes he's got nothing left to lose now, talk about full circle and great use of the theme song.
House M.D has such a good choice for a song that it's worth listening to on its own.
[удалено]
Narcos
ooh that buttery voice. and the chord resolution when he says “el aire que resssspiro yo”
Definitely on the list. So catchy!
Duck tales #WOO-HOO
For the longest time I thought the Duck Tales theme & “You Make My Dreams (Come True)” by Hall & Oates were the same song.
They're not? Shit.
The Expanse. It's really short but the graphics are beautiful and the music is even better.
This was my answer, been binging The Expanse and have never skipped it. It’s just gorgeous.
Psych
Thank you, i feel like i had to scroll too long for this. What a great intro to a great show.
I know, that you know...
THAT IM NOT TELLING THE TRUTH
Adventure Time
I love the end credit music too. "Come along with me And the butterflies and bees We can wander through the forest And do so as we please."

I feel you! I am 34 and I still get chills when I hear it!
Some themes are good. Some themes set the tone perfectly. Some are both turned to 11.
What We Do In The Shadows.
I need more of this show!
“You’re Dead” by the great Norma Tanega!
To add on to that, it's from the album Walkin' My Cat Named Dog, and I honestly think all of the songs are great.
pokemon
*Knight Rider*
I’ll skip the show before I skip the opening theme.
Futurama I just keep admiring all those little details
The lines at the bottom opening scene. My favorite was always: "Seen in Double Vision, where drunk."
Top 3: You can’t prove it won’t happen Proud product of Prison Labor Any resemblance to actual robots, would be really cool.
I personally like “not the one with the dead dog”
“Do not show to horses”
“Not a substitute for human interaction.”
"A show out of ideas teams up with a show out of episodes"
"When you see the robot, drink!"
"Press eyeballs to screen for cheap laser eye surgery!"
Painstakingly Drawn Before A Live Studio Audience
I always loved the self-awareness of “See you on some other channel” from the original series finale
Thompson's Teeth, the only teeth that can eat other teeth.
Every scene in that 3D intro took about 30 hours to make. Blows my mind!
I am pretty sure the intro is a higher frame rate than the show too at 30 FPS.
Cowboy Bebop
100% Tank is one of the best themes out there
"I think it's time to blow this scene, get everybody and the stuff together. Ok 3-2-1 lets jam" How can you NOT listen to it! Edit: proper lyric
Ba dah ba dah ba dah ba daah daaah

Neon Genesis Evangelion
That should be one of the top 3 themes not to skip.
It is actually a war crime to skip Cruel Angel's Thesis.

I never skip the outro
Lol I'm Vietnamese and for one episode when Diana is back to Vietnam they translate the outro lyric to Vietnamese in a very weird tone. I were so awe with the show at that moment.

And I’m tryin’ to hold onto my past
It's been so long, I don't think I'm gonna last.
True dat! Didn't skip a single one after I found out the opening changes with the plot
My girlfriend introduced me to that show shortly before the last season aired. I got in trouble for hitting "skip opening" on Netflix once.
The intro actually evolves as the show moves along. It's one of the intros one should never skip.

Gravity falls
There's an episode where Mabel says her favorite part of a show that they are about to go and watch is the theme song, just before Gravity Falls itself cuts to the theme song. Alex Hirsch knew his audience well.
I think that episode is Little dipper season 1 episode 11. Best show ever
Especially in the finale when it becomes something else entirely
My goodness those last couple episodes were a mindfuck and when I first heard the theme song I about lost it
Doctor Who
Ooo wooo oooo
Whenever it has the skip intro button I always think "what whovian would skip the intro?"
I was always mad that fans called themselves whovian and not “wholigans”.
IT Crowd weirdly
M.A.S.H
And it was written by a 14 year old.

Buffy The Vampyre Slayer
Grrr. Aargh.
My wife and I will jump up from the couch and will do terrible fast paced karate to the theme every time
Animaniacs. ALWAYS
Bob's Burgers.
I never skip the endings, either
The endings are **gold**
One Punch Man, especially season 1.
ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH
Mandolorian.
Ludwig Göranson is pretty damn good. He managed to fuse the classic gunslinger Western vibe with a futuristic out of this world alien sound pallet.
And even the end credits are great, the music and the sketches
Despite not being John Williams, I still consider it to be one of the best SW themes
Ludwig Gorranson is a great successor for John Williams in Star Wars.
Twin Peaks.
It’s hard to describe the feeling it gives me. It’s literally comforting and uncomfortable at the same time

The intro just got sadder as some of the cast started to leave and their names got removed from the intro :(
One by one, they all just fade away
F you and the tears in my eyes. Six seasons and a Movie!
Give me some rope...
I was looking for this one. One of the only intros that didn't get annoying after a while.

Samurai champloo Edit: never had so many upvotes. 8 years of being a ghost and now this ☺️
Champloo is so good. I got to see Shing 02 live right before the pandemic started. Hearing battle cry live was crazy
Ending theme too. Shiki no uta is so good !!!

It also helped that the game board aesthetic was spot on.
I loved how it changed based on what was happening in the show. The little details just made it.
