What tv show intro do you never skip?
(vlemmy.net)
Game of Thrones. Best part of the latter seasons.
This. Just because I want to see what regions the episode will be taking place in.
Bojack Horseman, the song slaps and there's way too many Easter eggs and jokes slipped onto the various intros to ignore them.
I love how the intro changes depending on what happened in the previous episode, or what will happen. Take Bobo the Zebra. A changing intro gives me a reason to watch it, and yes the song slaps. I particularly love the full version we don't get to hear a lot of.
My wife claps during the Friends intro credits. Every time. EVERY. TIME.
She'll be in the other room, and hear it on the TV... I hear the clap clap, clap clap from her as it plays.
The song lives rent free in my head regularly

Succession. Love the music.
The Expanse. Just so beautiful!
Seconded. The Expanse's intro song is amazing!
Breaking Bad
I appreciate short and to the point intros like Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul as well!

First season of true detective
White lotus. So funky
The Sopranos, it really sets the mood. Game of Thrones too. And The Wire!
I liked the Dexter intro too. Breaking Bad, though its pretty short. And House MD when it was Massive Attack.
All of those HBO shows have great intros. I've heard HBO had a thing where they forced their showrunners to come up with an iconic and high quality intro. Apparently Mike Judge didn't really want to do a big long intro for Silicon Valley, so they compromised and came up with the short intro that has tons of little hidden details.
Hold up... they stopped using Massive Attack as the intro music for House? I must have stopped watching it by the time it changed.

Parks and recs because it's so upbeat. Homeland too but for an entirely different reason
Scrubs - it is short enough not to skip it and it's also fairly catchy!
Malcolm in the Middle and Community for me, for the same reasons.
Malcolm in the Middle's slaps because it's played by They Might Be Giants
Doctor Who.
dundundundun dundundundun
Omg it's been years since I watched it and I just heard the theme in my head like it was the first time... I need to rewatch it now

All of them. Intros set a mood, and that’s a really important part of consuming any piece of content for me.
The Office US. Gets all the happy chemicals flowing.
Actually, now that you reminded me of Gravity Falls, that one too. And for me at least, in both cases the music is doing the heavy lifting. Such great tunes, how can you skip that?
Speaking of great music, I haven't watched a full episode of GoT, but the intro is amazing! I look it up every now and then just to listen.
I haven’t watched much of the office US but I can agree that the intro is very solid
Peacemaker
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spectacular Spiderman
Doctor who, no matter the version of the intro
Back in the 90's...
Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica TOS.
Edit with links: https://youtu.be/7vIVFgXaxsU https://youtu.be/3NPpcpIfuJo
Mushoku Tensei / Jobless Reincarnation
Great music, setting mood in an exceptional way, every episode different background / scenes in it, exceptional for world-building.

Evil.
If it's less than 10 seconds, I won't skip because it's equally a hassle to skip. So far that's only been maybe Scrubs? These 90 second intros can buzz off man... GoT, Westworld, motherland... No thanks.
ER and Third Watch speaking of 90's shows, but also Ted Lasso and Brooklyn Nine - Nine
Babylon 5
Young Sheldon. Short and sweet.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Malcolm in the Middle
season 1 and 2 of ST: Enterprise
But also all other ST shows.
Raised By Wolves.
Haunting visuals and music. YouTube it if you haven't seen it yet. Gives me shivers everytime.
Raised by Wolves
Haunting music and visuals. Check it out on YouTube if you've never seen/heard it!
