When they made Star Trek Enterprise, they kept the tradition of using award winning epic sci-fi orchestral music, then they played it over the closing credits. The intro music was that croaking, bland, boring pop song about faith of the heart or something. What a forgettable show.

The Leftovers
Dandadan (both S1 and S2 are bangers)

I can't decide between Psych (especially the extended version), Knight Rider, and Airwolf.

Edit: Street Hawk is a banger too.

Edit 2: How could I forget Miami Vice?

For the song alone, the nostalgic side of me cannot not say The Golden Girls doesn't have the absolute best theme song. It's definitely a tie between that and Swat Kats, which would be my pick for best intro sequence, period.

I get the impression that it's super-obscure these days, but the Perfect Strangers theme is great!

If like me, you’re old enough to remember Cousin Balki - then it’s probably time to book in a prostate exam. 🥴

Taskmaster's is one of the few intros I watch every time. Gets me pumped for every episode.

Curb Your Enthusiasm also may be the perfect fit for the show. Every time I see the HBO static come up before any other HBO show, I hear the CYE theme in my head.

king of the hill is the best

i also like how fun the peacemaker intros are. protagonists, antagonists, and 1 line characters all dancing together. some you dont even meet until halfway through the season

Someone mentioned peacemaker and I totally agree. But also gangster grass intro to Justified

For me:

Babylon Berlin intro captures the art, the deco, the decadence and the fear of what the viewer knows is going to come of that time period.

Black Sails just perfect

Raised by Wolves I was hit and miss on this in many ways, but this intro is great - albeit I think slightly misleading as to its overall tone.

Pennyworth I thought S1 was a bit silly, but what an intro.

Warrior

Happiness This is just fun, and fits the show brilliantly
