How can I forget

How did I not know Batman the animated series used the Danny Elfman theme? That was brilliant.

I might have to buy that show. To my shame I've never watched it.

What the hell? Why not?

What the hell? Why not?

I never knew when it was on telly back in the day and I've never thought to buy it on DVD or anything. I'm amazed my brother never has actually.

Was that an actual show?!


I liked HBO's LUCK quite a bit,

And American Horror Story s1 was creepy.

Game of Thrones. Firefly. Sopranos.

Older shows had better beginning credits because they were longer.

Batman
The Monkees
Addams Family
The Munsters

so many.......

Cheers?

How the **** did I forget Cheers? I'm ashamed.

M*A*S*H will always be my favorite just because it's my all-time favorite show, but this is in the top too.

I hated that yet now love it. As a kid it meant dad and pop were going to watch "that dumb show". Now I wish I heard it again knowing they were watching. Miss them both.

Fresh Prince and Sons of Anarchy!

Shame is the appropriate word here.

I also like the Rockford Files quite a bit, and All in the Family is hard to beat. MASH is one that works in its simplicity, like Cheers. Another great opening from my childhood:

The remix for super friends that aired in the 90s for Cartoon Network promos was brilliant. I wish I could hear it again.

MASH is another good one. I remember the marathon reruns were always on and I'd fall asleep on the couch watching them. Is there still a TV land?

 

[Giant Chicken]

A-Dev. You really need to get on Batman. It is fantastic.

Deadwood was great too.

Newsroom has got to be some of the worst credits. They changed it up for season 2 but it wasn't that much better IMO.

 

[karamazov80]

Was that one of those really quick openings from Cartoon Network that used action figures?

 

[DiFabio]

No figures. It was a promo remix that showed actual footage from the show. I remember the remix had the Super Friends theme as the beat. Something like "in the great hall of the justice league".

I do have Mask of Phantasm in my archive. Think I'll put that on tomorrow.

*looks like Obsolete Man beat me to it!*

I never saw that one back in the day.

I was thinking of one of these, that had Super Powers figures before Super Friends came on:
