We all love tv right? But sometimes intro/theme/credits bit makes you want to scream at the tv to just get on with it, am I not right? They are often so boring. Even if you love those actors you don't need to see the same clip with their name on it every single episode.
But, some intros are nice.
I just want to comment on some... because well, I always think about it when I watch a show XD
Now, it doesn't matter if I love a show to damn pieces, the intro can still be boring.
Farscape for example, best show ever made, but the first two seasons were pretty dull when it came to te intro. Here however we had a nice voice over... which got better in the other two seasons, as well as the sty*le (tv.com, what to you want? that's a normal word!) of the intro itself. Obscure text floating by and such.
Firefly? Another hsow that I love to bits, yeah... not too much love on the intro there. Remember, I'm not talking about the music, but on everything combined. Because the song is really nice for Firefly, but overall the little clip is a bit boring.
Stargate is boring too, first one for SG1? Insanely boring >.< With the statue you know? Yuck. Atlantis is a bit better with everything being blue and the picture freezing. Still boring though, and not really that synced with the music.
Good ones then?
Gotta say, I love the CSI ones. Music is awsome and very fitting, and not actually written for the show. I like that all three shows have a song by the Who. The sty*le of the video is really nice too. Very graphic. I haven't watched much Miami or Vegas lately so I'll just comment on NY. The song kicks ass (and I prefer the version for s1 to 3 thankyouverymuch, more like the original) and I love how the actors' names like float by in big letter that you don't really notice and then they come to the readable version (especially like Eddie's in s4... red letters dissolving into blood behind the white XD)
Loved 4400's, so stylistic and beautiful (stuff aging). Seriously, I liked the intro better than the show XD
Same thing with House MD, well the show is good I just haven't watched much of it. But the intro is, just like 4400, very stylistic and graphical. Probably the most goodlookin intro I've seen.
And from a graphic point of view Criminal Minds is really nice too. With boxes and stuff.
I like Battlestar Galactica's too. The music is absolutely beautiful. Both American and European version. And the video is just of ships and with the basic story line in nice text, lingering on certain words. It's pretty. And then it moves into a very quick teaser of the episode. To me, that never shows too much, just makes it a bit more interesting. And it's so nicely matched to the music. On every beat the clip changes.
And finally the ones I like the most XD And that's Supernatural and current ER. Just the logo and it's done. Back to the story XD
Cause no matter how awsome an intro looks, to me it does start to get boring after a while XD I have watched lots of CSI NY lately, marathoning it really. It's still such a good intro that I don't skip it, but I'm not particulary enjoying it anymore you know. It's just there. Depending on my mood of the moment I might look at the random stuff they throw in though. For graphic inspiration purposes ^^
There are loads more out there. Mostly boring ones (sitcoms are always boring imo), but I'm sure there are good ones too.
What's your opinion?
