House of the Dragon is an unusual case cuz it's a mediocre show piggybacking off the success of a far better (for a time) show, and they knew as much as to give it the same opening song.

That is an amazing answer to this question. The show is pretty bad, but that theme song is lodged in my head to this day.

Thundercats was before my time and I never watched it, but it has one of the coolest openings and theme songs ever.

I'm curious about the opposite. Are there great shows with terrible intros?

Not enough tv shows start out by telling you the main character was good at their job, they just expect you to guess or something.

Let's just go with nearly all 80s shows. Because every one I can think of had banger themes, but were pretty mediocre by today's standards.

The Heights belongs here. The song "How Do You Talk to an Angel" was a hit that went to #1 on the Billboard 100 but the show it came from, The Heights, was a big flop that was cancelled after only 12 episodes aired.

I think a lot of people would answer Justified as a recent response to this question. Justified is a fantastic show that everyone should watch, but not many people I know of liked the opening theme.

I actually enjoyed it and it got me hyped for the show when I would hear it, but I think I am very alone in that opinion.

any intro where they feel it necessary to just talk and explain what the show is about, is instantly bad
one thing if they do it in song, but just "i'm Crichton, an astronaut who....." ugh

The show was great until they started adding bizarre shit just for merchandising.

It brings back so much memories though. I remember going to my Grandfathers and it was on TV. It might have been the 1st season. Not long after he passed away. When I hear it, it brings it all back

Can I ask, Just what the hell are you smoking? The Enterprise theme is grade A shit. Did you know fans picketed and protested outside Paramount when they herd the theme tune.

The beautiful "Archers theme" should have been the opening theme of Enterprise.

Hi
Enterprise has a great theme song

It's just that Trekkies at the time wanted orchestral music like the other series has. They despised change.
