Laaazsloo
I wish the shows I like had more than 50 episodes.
What's the story Wishbone?
woke up this mooorningggg
GOT YOSELF A GUN. GOT YOSELF A GUN
X-Men is the best
Take my love, Take my land, Take me where I can not stand …
Tbf it only had like 12 episodes.
Yeah but I’ve watched the whole series like at least five times.
This thread is full of intros that I have no idea what they are. What show has 12 episodes? Getting that millennial FOMO
Welcome to today’s lucky ten thousand! Like everyone has said the show is Firefly and it awesome
Watch Firefly and Serenity afterwards, you're welcome.
I'll save this and check
Firefly.
Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi intro song both seasons 🙌🤘
I’ve loved both of Dandadan’s intros too. They were both extremely creative in their own ways.
Upvote for first anime reference. I really don’t have a favorite (anime opening). There’s just so many good ones that I can’t decide.
3D world? Definitely Firefly.
Dr. Who intro song SLAPS
What’s your favourite version? Since they rearrange it every few years.
8th or 9th for me. 8th just feels epic. But I started Doctor Who on Netflix with Chris, so the 9th is nostalgic for me.
I also started with 9th, haven’t watched the original series yet. But I just got the first season so I’ll be watching it soon. I want to watch all of it.
So no one tooold you it was gonna be this waaaaay
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Just wait till you try to watch Charmed on a streaming channel (Pluto, Roku) and realize they changed the theme song. It's an entirely different song.
Side note: I've never seen the lyrics in writing, and always assumed that they were saying "I am the sun, I am the air." Y'know, cause they're magical.
UGH. They did that with House. Replaced Massive Attack with some generic bullshit
always assumed that they were saying "I am the sun, I am the air." Y'know, cause they're magical.
In the original by The Smiths and the Love Spit Love cover (used in the show), the lyrics are both officially "son" and "heir", but the way they chopped up the song for the theme, they very well could have played on those being homophones such that the "theme" lyrics actually are "sun" and "air".
Basically backing up the premise of the show which was balancing magic and life.
I am the sun and the air [I'm magical]
I am human and I need to be loved [I'm also a person with a life]
At least that was always my take. Though I'd heard the original Smiths version before the show aired.
OTOH, The Craft ALSO used the Love Spit Love cover but without chopping it up, so maybe they assumed "sun" and "air" like most of us.
Star trek enterprise. Started awesome then once you got invested they changed it
Farscape, started good, ended legendary.
Stargate: SG1
That's my holy trio
The first time I heard enterprise intro I was like hell naw what is this trash. By time I got into season 2 I was vibing it hard. Then season 3 happened...
Enterprise I’ll never forgive them for that trickery
I love how our first thought is the Enterprise theme. I loved it every time I heard it until it got changed.
Bojack Horseman theme was great each and every time I heard it.
Enterprise intro: Trash, always trash.
Farscape: Skip.
SG-1: Also surprisingly trash intro. Show is 10/10. Intro 1/10.
What kind of human being are you to skip the farscape intro?
I'm implying that the entire show is a skip.
Even worse. The show is great
Watched SG-1 first and couldn't handle the horrific downgrade.
Doesn't describe Peacemaker. Absolute bangers, both of them 🤘
nııııııııı nı nı-nı nı. nını nın nı nın nı nın nı
Pavlovian theme tune.
Its basically the reason people think The Big Bang Theory is a good show. The brain makes stupid associations like "repetition = familiar = good = funny".
I'll toss in Babylon 5 for a recommendation.
You guys listen to intro songs? 🤷♂️
Listen to? No, I worship it.
The sitcom themes from the 70s and 80s are the dopest shit ever composed.
Gravity Falls.
I wouldn’t say it was my favorite, but I watched all of Suits and I fucking hated that theme. I couldn’t get up quickly enough to skip it.
Most of the songs in that show, I couldn’t stand.
Compare that to now rewatching Samurai Champloo and I can’t get enough of this theme and all the music throughout the show. Except that one lady doing the really weird singing that sounds really off key lol
That song kept on giving, Charmed not so much imho
Whattt? You mean you didn't like it either when they turned it in to "We have Harry Potter at home" ?
I only listen to it once during the show itself, then skip it every subsequent time. If I liked it enough on the first listen I'll add it to my playlist like any other song I like.
