Those listed above, and I would add 24.

On a side note, how damn cool is that show? The main character asks permission to kill the kids of a terrorist, gets told no, and proceeds to do it anyways. Okay, it was faked, but you don't know that till later.

Furthermore, he gets taken hostage and tells the president to pardon his would be murderer, in order to get some information about a nuke in LA.

Damn fine show.

Yeah, that song was great. I used to tune in just for the opening credits, and then turn the channel.

Best Themes: Henry Mancini (Flight of the Bumble Bee *Green Hornet*, Remington Steele, The Pink Panther, Peter Gunn *Spy Hunter theme*)

Best Intro: I would have to go with Radio & The Shadow, Lights our Everybody, & Dragnet.

Best Credits: hmm, I'll have to get back to you on that one..... (Purhaps: The Twilight Zone)

Either Evangelion or Serial Experiments: Lain. Cowboy Bebop was alright, but I don't quite liek the style of the music for hte opening credits.

Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, Futurama, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Batman: the Animated Series ('92), Robotech, Cowboy Bepop and the original and "real Adventures of" Johnny Quest.

Yeah, I agree with everything else mentioned and 24.

"The following takes place between 1pm and 2pm on the day of the presidential primary."

"Right now terrorists are plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate, my wife and daughter are in danger and the people I work with maybe involved with both. I'm Federal agent Jack Bauer... and this is the longest day of my life."

I'd also like to add The Prisoner, Red Dwarf, Black Adder, Monty Python, Space: 1999, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Mask, Stingray, Spooks, Dangermouse and SeaQuest DSV to the mix.

So far all the ones mentioned I agree with, I also like the two different DS9 intros (unike Space: 1999 which lost the decent music in series 2) and the Batman and the Batman and Robin themes.

Hey, I really didn't want to resurrect this thread (and I do see the irony of me doing it), but I feel that I must.

Last night I downloaded the original Japanese opening for the very recent anime series .hack//SIGN, which is grab-you-by-the-crotch fantastic, and features a great song called "Obsession" by See-Saw, which I also downloaded.

If you have the latest version of QuickTime, you can see it here:

It's the one called (duh) Japanese Intro. And remember to save it to your hard drive before viewing to be nice to TDA's server.
