Rules:
1. No alt voting, etc, standard nonsense, you already know it all.
2. Please watch the themes if you aren't already familiar with them.
3. This is NOT a "Best TV Show Ever" contest, it is a best "TV Show Opening Ever" contest. The actual quality of the show itself is unimportant.
4. Consider the theme, the visuals, and accuracy of representing the show (if you've watched it).


Last Time, on Best TV Show Opening Ever...
Scooby-Doo 18 v MST3K 9 - MST3K, where are you? You've got some votes to lose, now...
Duck Tales 17 v Twilight Zone 9 - I am convinced that the little "woohoo" in the Duck Tales theme is what seals its place as a strong entry.




(7) Mortal Kombat Conquest
"In each of us, there burns a soul of a warrior. In every generation, a few are chosen to prove it."


(10) Full Metal Alchemist
"Tsong getto de yoteeeeee!"




(2) Friends
"So no one told you life was gonna be this waaaaaay,"


(15) Rurouni Kenshin
"Arigato mi."

Enough people nominated it. I'm a little surprised myself at what I had to snub (Martian Successor Nadesico alone), but hey, that's the way it goes.

Meh MK Conquest OP. Eww that FMA OP. Would've voted for Ready Steady Go in a heartbeat. Man, I don't want to vote for either... oh well, FMA takes it.

Friends
... and of course I love both of these >_>. Man, match-up should've been against the weak ones so they can stay longer. Gotta go with my nom, Friends.

Full Metal Alchemist

Despite how unintentionally hilarious Mortal Kombat is, I gotta vote for the one that doesn't, y'know, suck.


Rurouni Kenshin

This was tough. Do I go with the one with the great song but that is unremarkable otherwise, or the one with cool visuals and the tone-deaf singer?
Kenshin takes a narrow victory here.

Full Metal Alchemist

Starts off kind of boring, but man once that tempo changes and the visuals get 100% more actiony to accompany it do I get PUMPED! Always loved this intro. I don't mean to be biased here, but I've never seen that MK show before and the intro didn't particularly impress me.

Friends

Snoozefest with a good song it is I guess. I've only seen a few episodes of Friends (wasn't my thing I guess) so no bias here. Unless antivoting the intro I'm more nostalgic for counts as bias. GOD I hate you Kenshin song for ruining a perfectly good opening animation sequence with your horrid tones and upbeat sweetness. Doesn't match the scenes accompanying it AT ALLLLLLL!

Long time ago now, had one season 98-99. I mostly nominated it for the lulz, but it really wasn't a bad show or anything either.

Sure it does, it's mostly upbeat positive stuff, sunshine, it fits, plus there's that crunchy metal guitar riff to give it that pazazz, it's a wonderful medley of stuff. You're mean. :(

Full Metal Alchemist
Rurouni Kenshin

READY STEADY GO! is the best FMA opening and I can see why people wouldn't like the Kenshin song...but I really can't stand the show Friends, so that certainly affects my judgement. I don't like Full Metal either, but I don't think anyone actually likes that Mortal Kombat show, lol.
