great song with mesmerizing visuals to
set the tone and mood for the episode to
come if you didn’t see an intro you
thought should be on the list be sure to
check out our first list of the top 10
TV show title sequences
number 10 The Drew Carey Show one of the
funniest and most underrated succumbs of
the 90s gets the party started early all
this energy cow and me Bangor encounter
in this title sequence that was added as
of season three of the show the entire
cast sings along with a rockin
soundtrack courtesy of the presidents of
the United States of America as they
storm the streets of Cleveland the
choreography may not have won any awards
but seeing everyone dancing together is
a reminder of how much fun this show
could be with its eclectic cast of
nine-to-five workers Cleveland rocks
number 9
Bojack horseman a horse is a horse of
course of course no sorry that’s the
wrong theme song this one’s written by
one half of the Black Keys Patrick
Carney
the story of a washed-up horse actor is
brought to life in a hotline Miami
inspired opening which sees the title
character go through his mundane life of
partying and depressive fits followed by
a fixed camera
this original comedy from Netflix not
only quickly establishes its ridiculous
concept of a horse actor voiced by actor
Will Arnett goddamnit stop the presses
but actually makes you feel sorry for
him before the first episode even gets
rolling
Bojack could use all our support
ah
and number eight Sherlock
flashes of London intermixed with
mysterious images of various cases
establishes Sherlock as a love letter to
both the city and the title character
who’s garnered so much global admiration
there’s certainly action to be found in
the upcoming episodes but the crux of it
all are the head scratching conundrums
our heroes face
this title sequence attempts to give us
a glimpse at how the brilliant Sherlock
Holmes observes the world around him
because as we all know he does have a
unique way of seeing things I say my
husband might be having an affair yes
even the music captures that mysterious
essence without becoming overbearing
suggesting perhaps a cup of tea
alongside a dash of murder
number seven unbreakable kimmy schmitt
another Netflix original this Tina Fey
produced gem stars a wet-behind-the-ears
girl who is finally experiencing the
modern world set to an auto-tuned news
song as parodied by Tina Fey’s husband
Jeff Richmond and the Gregory Brothers
the montage of old home movies and the
silly yet catchy as hell unbreakable
song aptly sets you up for the story of
a cult survivor lived the majority of
her adult life hiding in fear of the
apocalypse armed with a positive
attitude either New York
nor the end of the world can seem to
break this go-getter that’s gonna be uh
you know uh fascinating
transition damn it number six yet smart
this show may be a spoof of James Bond
but Maxwell Smart still gets the job
done as well as mi6 is best
with that iconic theme adding to the
parody the opening quickly gets down to
business as agent 86 passes several
security gates what respectable secret
organization wouldn’t be hidden behind
impenetrable walls that apparently work
with motion detectors he then arrives at
the most inconspicuous defense mechanism
of all a phone booth at least smart has
to enter some kind of code at this point
after all it can’t be that easy for a
super spy number five misfits
a dark aesthetic drives this animated
opening to new heights as shadows take
shape into animals before we see the
delinquent stars of the show after a
freak electrical storm gives these teens
superpowers they are no longer
sequestered to the dark corners of the
city but we can finally see their
colored faces for who they are
with the song echoes by the rapture
driving the intro along this title
sequence shines thanks to the story it
manages to tell encapsulating the entire
concept of the show in under two minutes
number four the affair Oh screaming into
the canyon this award-winning drama
begins with a serene Fiona Apple song
that quickly picks up in pace as the
overwhelming surf of the ocean consumes
the viewer shots of old home videos and
blurred images of the main characters
caught in the middle of their affair are
the only sights that escape the
relentless waves and when he died his
widow it’s an intro that tells of the
dramatic tale to follow of the people
that will drown because of the decision
made to try and escape their own lives
into the ocean everyone think doing this
be the way that I am and then sink back
into the ocean it’s how we like our
drama all-consuming and devastating
number three orange is the new black
complemented by the music of Regina
Spektor who was nominated for a Grammy
for the song you’ve got time the extreme
close-ups we see make it hard to tell
that these women aren’t actors at all
but actual inmates
god
designed to make the point that the show
isn’t all about its main character Piper
Chapman this title sequence helps us to
know that perhaps these ladies aren’t
just faceless criminals but real people
with real emotion and real problems
standing still is hard once the gates
are heard closing at the end we’ve not
only warmed up to this idea we’re ready
to step foot in this prison ourselves
number two the x-files this classic
sci-fi masterpiece begins with the theme
song we’ve all come to associate with
alien visitors and the unknown
it’s eerie composition and glimpses of
evidence of alien life not only prove
that we aren’t alone in the universe but
that the FBI is currently knee-deep in a
full investigation
winning the x-files an emmy-award the
sequence remained relatively unchanged
throughout the series run at least until
David Duchovny sought greener pastures
as of the eighth season they erased it
creepy images and even creepier music
emphasized the idea that the truth is
indeed out there before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions
number one true detective season 1 of
true detective not only stands as an
acting directing and writing
tour-de-force it also has the coolest
intro on this list painstakingly created
by Patrick Clair and his team
silhouettes of characters superimposed
over faded images of the Louisiana town
drive home that mysterious vibe present
throughout the season
a feeling that is further supported by
the theme music as sung by alt-country
band the handsome family
viewers would be desperate to know who
the culprit was but despite what the
final outcome may have been it was
uncovering who these characters truly
are that makes this show so impressive
