Default Best TV Show opening credits

Ok, I loved your guys responses to the great musical openings and I wanted to do another one. This one is your favorite TV show opening credits.

1) Police Squad

The early short lived TV Series starring Leslie Neilson. Why did I love it, beyond the zaniness of the shootouts. The special guest was always killed in the opening credits. Lorne Green, William Shatner, Florence Henderson.



2) Firefly

I loved this one because it established so much of what this series was about, with a great original Western Song that set the mood. "You can't take the sky from me". Visually it was really beautiful as well



3) Battlestar Galactica 1978

This one is beautiful, first starting with the "There are those who believe . . ." the voice done by the actor who later played Count Iblis who was basically the devil. The orchestral theme was beautiful and you saw the battlestar moving through space.



4) The A-Team

They summed up the story right from the start, in 1972 a crack commando team was sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit. The opening theme music was pretty light and fun and it went well with this shows premise that they didn't take it all that seriously, and Mr T needed his milk



5) Angel

I loved the opening theme of this show, the use of violins separated itself from Buffy right away and you knew that this story was going to be a bit darker. The ending up it makes you feel like Angel is actually flying towards redemption



So what are some of your favorite openers?
