    I rarely sit through intros, but I make sure I catch them for these CURRENT shows:

    Portlandia - nice match between a great song and the video

    <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/feeA-Dr0XGw?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/feeA-Dr0XGw?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

    Homeland - effectively disconcerting; reminds me of those weird video exhibits in modern art museums

    <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n3l93bV65ag?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n3l93bV65ag?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

    Best one today IMO is Game of Thrones.

    I was trying to think of a funny one to counter this... but ****, I can't. It is just too epic.

    Also, they ADD to the intro each episode as new areas are discovered in the show

    My only problem with this intro is they took the easy way out. They showed Washington, DC as a city (the nice parts anyway) when the show is all about what goes on inside, in the back rooms.

    While I think the visuals are great, they missed out on an opportunity. Like Dexter's being about the vision of blood, and him being very methodical... or Game of Throes giving an evolving history of the realm.

    Captures the mood/tone of the show well. That Dexter intro is actually one of my least favorite intros of all time. Hate the music.

    Not a huge fan of the show, but I love TWD's intro.

    I mean, I watch some pretty ghey shows if I do say so myself. Some reality tv fare that mainly chicks watch, but I just want to know, tell me you don't actually watch bunheads? Your W/GF forces you to watch it right? I mean you probably don't even know where ABCFamily is on your cable tv lineup right?:)

    Watch it with my Amazon Prime account, and it's terrific. Don't knock it till you try it.
