OT - Fairly Iconic TV Intros

[Chongo94]

Classic.

I attempted to schedule my college classes around that show

It was Days of Our Lives during my era that we all scheduled classes around, although it got rather dumb when Marlena was all possessed or something.

Since some cartoons were added, this one’s chorus STILL runs through my head at times....I know, I’m ashamed.

 

[Chongo94]

All classics.
Tattooed onto your brain during the syndication-heavy and pre-TiVO world of cable TV.

Today's binge friendly streaming services prompts you to skip them. Maybe they don't have to pay when skipped

That’s a great point. I do that all the time. There are a couple I don’t because they’re so cool. I can’t say they are recognizable because I’m not sure how many people would actually know of the show but the intros are cool.

Frontier is one I never ever skipped on Netflix.

I was gonna list this one as well but not sure about iconic status. It is one of my recent favorites and rarely if ever did I skip it. And Hannah New....oh my.

Another intro I liked was The Affair. But stopped watching years ago.

CHARGE TV 47.3 in DFW has Magnum on a rotation 4x/day M-F. I'm reliving my Thursday night CBS viewing from the 80s.

What about Tuesday’s on NBC(?). A-Team, Riptide, Remington Steele

Completely forgot about Riptide.



So many 80’s detective shows happen in and around water or beachy locales...

Its not a tv show but idk if there's a more iconic intro than Star Wars.

If you wanna start in on movie intros then you’ve got your pick of the Bond movies. Some people anticipate the Bond intro/song as they do the actual movie.

Depending on if and when you had children, the intro to Barney and Friends is seared into your memory

Jefferson’s baby, awesome intro:

I sing this song when I’m working all the time.
