Hi all, first thread so thought I'd do a fun, lighthearted one! What are the shows with an intro/theme song that you just can't skip? For me it's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Ted Lasso and Community! Love the music in the second two and the cold opens for B99! What about you? Grin

All of them! I don't really know why, but skipping intros is a no-no in our house. We often randomly shout 'Don't skip intro!!!' even though we all know full well that none of us would Grin.

Bosch. Not the Legacy remake, that into is crap in comparison, but the original series.
Touch (programme from years back which starred Keifer Sutherland). A beautiful into which is only bettered by Bosch.
House as well, fantastic intro.

Another vote for Death In Paradise. Love that starting music.

Another vote for Only Murders in the Building. My husband always goes to skip the intro and it really annoys me. Same with The Last Kingdom.

Old thread (appeared in the “similar threads” list) - my unmissable intros are Due South and Sleepers (1991 - can’t find the titles online, unfortunately).

"Due South" TV Intro

Here's the opening sequence from "Due South," a 1994-1999 Canadian crime drama starring Paul Gross as Constable Benton Fraser, "an officer of the Royal Canad...

Bad Sisters had an amazing opening credits and song

Bad Sisters on Apple TV

I love it. Its so dark to listen to and visually confusing (but makes sense in the final few episodes!!)

I sometimes play it on Alexa.

Taskmaster - the way that the lovely giant Greg Davies looks over his typewriter with that raised eyebrow and cheeky grin which looks like he's full of wicked thoughts. Cor!

Northern Exposure!

Fairislefandango · 24/06/2023 18:21

Awww Due South Smile. And Constable Benton Fraser 😍But yes, definitely no skipping that intro!

diddl · 24/06/2023 18:40

The Camomile Lawn.

I think that's a piece by Raval?

Brideshead Revisited as already mentioned.

It was part of the whole "experience" of the programme.

After that music you knew that you were in for a treat!

LaBelleSauvage123 · 24/06/2023 18:48

Band of Brothers. It’s DHs favourite series and he’s watched it about three times. I’ve never watched more than a couple of episodes but always go in to listen to the music. So haunting and elegaic.

American horror story, love the way they change it slightly to fit the season!
