Best TV Show Openings

Simply put, what TV shows do you think have the greatest opening credits?
For my nominations:

Star Trek Voyager
The music is great. The CGI isn't so impressive now as it was in the late 90s, but compared to the relative blandness of the previous show's opening its great.

Firefly
I would first like to point out this is the most underrated TV show of all time. With that out of the way, this theme covers both bases quite well. It has cool visuals, plus good music (which is weird since I usually can't stand country). The sci-fi visuals and country music matches Firefly's unique sci-fi/western genre blending perfectly.

Pokemon Advanced Challenge (aka season 7)
The visuals are what you have come to expect, but I still love this song. The guitar part is just sweet.

South Park
This son is so freaking catchy. Every time I see a South Park episode I an humming it for hours.

Angel
I like how it starts off in the first few seconds as classical, then switches to a more alternative style. The visuals are great too.

Anyway, what are yours?

Re: Best TV Show Openings

The opening to Eureka is definitely one of my favorites. I wanted to link to a video but I couldn't find one

Re: Best TV Show Openings

The episode of Famly Guy where Peter falls, during the opening theme, and crushs one of the female dancers at the bottom of the stairs. Then I would have to say Futurama because the opening alwasys says something different.

Definitely The Big Bang Theory for me, that song is so catchy and fun. The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson comes in a very, very close second, with How I Met Your Mother in third.

Re: Best TV Show Openings

My one and only nomination would go to the Simpsons. It's a little different spin on the same good thing for every episode. That's awesome.

I like the opening for Dexter. He uses his serial killer skills to cook breakfast.

Right, so this was because Forte says he doesn't like himself. I want him to like himself a bit more.
