He did not destroy Galactica 1980. The super scouts and the cretins they hired as writers did that.

Larry Olivier and Richard Burton could not have rescued that turkey.

Yeah, the kid scouts and writing weren't great - though as a kid watching it I thought that Barry van Dyke's character was in fact some sort of cylon - to find out years later it was just his wooden acting - hence my ruined claim, which I should have made clearer.

Chocky:-

Although they nicked that plotline for the new version. You were clearly not alone in thinking that...

^ it's got the end credits in from about 1.20 in the video too

RedDeadRejection · « **Reply #96 on:** January 18, 2024, 09:47:23 pm »

Don't know if this has been done before here. But watching Community I find I never skip the title sequence and am glad when they use the full one.

Thinking about others, I did the same for True Detective season 1 with Far From Any Road by the Handsome Family. Utterly brilliant and sets the mood nicely.

Any you can think of you do the same with?

bradders1011 · « **Reply #97 on:** January 18, 2024, 09:59:27 pm »

I instantly thought True Detective S1 when I saw the thread title.

Succession is also a one to set the tone of the show, plus the hidden easter egg gags.

Is Sopranos too obvious?

Buck Pete · « **Reply #98 on:** January 18, 2024, 10:33:20 pm »

Haha great idea. There’s a few I simply refused to skip.

Game of Thrones
Better Call Saul

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #99 on:** January 18, 2024, 10:39:34 pm »

Most obvious one is The Simpsons.

Futurama too.

Pistolero · « **Reply #100 on:** January 18, 2024, 10:52:53 pm »

Succession
Boardwalk Empire
The Beverly Hillbillies
Severance
Bojack Horseman

Oooo Two excellent shouts in Bojack and Narcos.

Good shout on Severance there

Loved that title sequence. That reminds me, can’t wait for S2

Red Dwarf

classycarra · « **Reply #104 on:** January 18, 2024, 11:05:17 pm »

feels too obvious, but The Wire (any season!) hasn't been mentioned yet.

Also S1 of True Detective - perfect song by the Handsome Family and imagery

Agree with others, Bojack was a great shout

Dexter. The circus music with the murder imagery was absolute class.

Game of Thrones, just because it looked brilliant and gave a little insight into what the episode would hold.

TNG, such a brilliant piece of music, and I love the Enterprise D.

Brush Strokes

Buck Pete · « **Reply #109 on:** January 19, 2024, 12:19:04 am »

Dexter! Yes.

I think that was the first show I purposely watched the title sequence through every episode.

Always fancied a fry-up after watching it though.

Statto Red · « **Reply #110 on:** January 19, 2024, 03:33:57 am »

Auf Wiedersehen Pet, both opening & closing titles in series 1 & 2, one of the few series that had different opening & closing songs, Joe Fagin [the singer, not the Liverpool manager ;] sang the theme.

Brookside, try & guess the location shots in the opening titles.

Blackadder

Ted Lasso, shame it's only the chorus which lasts just over 10 seconds, the full theme [Marcus Mumford, Heaven Knows I Tried] is good

Quite a lot of the US TV shows have great themes too, often extended opening titles.

The Royle Family, Oasis, Half The World Away, even Noel Gallagher has said, he thinks Half The World Away is more The Royle Family theme, than an Oasis song.

the opposite for me - it's so short, but I am always desperate to skip every second and avoid any of the chorus
