Where Everybody Knows The Song
A question I've been asking myself lately:
"What TV show has the greatest intro ever?" This is a very subjective list you are about to read, so I'd love to hear your opinions and your own nominations.
5. The Jeffersons Classic song. George Jefferson strutting into to the high rise has forever been burned into my brain.
4. Malcom In The Middle On this list solely because it uses a They Might be Giants song.
3. Hill Street Blues Do I need to even justify this choice?
2. Cheers Perhaps the greatest sitcom song ever (to accompany the greatest sitcom ever). I used to get goose bumps listening to it (fuck you for snickering, I was eight at the time), especially when the song was coupled with the old fashioned photos of people getting shit-faced. Drunken nostalgia is a powerful force, even on an eight year-old.
1. Futurama Probably a controversial selection at #1, but I'm going with my heart and will stand by this choice. People probably want to know why The Simpsons isn't even on this list and Futurama is at #1. Well, that's because Futurama has all the good things about The Simpsons' intro, and more! It has better music, more captivating animation, and cool scenes of the future that makes The Jetsons look like The Flinstones!!!!
Futurama dude!
