Yeah sorry, was going to do it yesterday but I fell asleep really early.

Couldn’t Answer
Moogs- Three’s Company- Couldn’t find on Youtube and doing this fast. Never seen it either.
Fifthfiend- Nothing- While a good answer it wouldn’t be fair to rank it.

Everyone else:
Krogothwolf-Enterprise- What a terrible song on top of it. Doesn’t get you at all reading for watching super space action. Other star trek themes would have done well.

Overcast- Deadwood- Don’t know what to say, I got bored watching it once.

42Pet- Bill Nye- Ahh! Too much going on!

Si Civa- Buffy- Odd opening, all the shots in it are framed pretty much the same way meaning a whole lot of action shots end up quite dull.

Fenris- 60 minutes- I assume you mean just the big ticking clock (that is opening we get to 60 minutes, may be different else). Not as pretentious as most openings and you know what you going to get and doesn’t take up valuable show time. So it’s good but not great.

ApeBoy- House MD- Simple but very effective. The only shot of the cast coming at the end works nicely and is built up to by the music. Only problem is that images themselves, while they work together, have not a lot of meaning and thus it feels a bit lost.

Hawk- Farscape- Start and end are quite good and I like the use of chanting at the end but too many cast shots of people just standing around. Doesn’t fit with all the spaceships and things.

ArchiBio-Carnivale- Nice transitions through the images and good mix of imagery, but it is a bit too long especially for a piece of music that is a bit repetitive.

Blues- Spiderman- WTF was that?

RA- CSI Las Vegas- Good song, matches the intro quite well, pumps you up.

Seil- Saved by the Bell- Really epitomises the early 90s, and an appropriate song which is completely non-pretentious and totally cheesy. Did what it set out to achieve. Not higher because it didn’t set out to achieve much.

Keresnky- Magic School Bus- Was pretty cool. Don’t have any real complaints, just wasn’t as good as next ones.

Zilla- The Sopranos- Nothing beats the old driving scene. Music needs to be slowed down a little but aside from that it’s great.

Bookie-Dexter- Delightfully playful and well matched song and visuals. Only problem is that it is slightly too long.

TWG-Cheers- I have never watched an episode in my life and I know that song off by heart. Song inspires in you exactly the image that they were going for and makes you feel welcome and invited. Fits in well with the images as well and never really gets old. Intros are designed to welcome you to a show and this intro has really perfected making you feel welcome.


Take it away TWG
