With Tivo, DVR, and the internet it’s really easy to fast forward through the opening theme and get to the goods on your favorite TV show. Those poor credits are feeling the neglect. A lot of shows just skip them all together in favor of just showing the title and getting on with the show (Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Pushing Daisies, Heroes). It’s really a shame because opening credits have come so so far. Here’s some of the more recent accomplishments in opening numbers.
Mad Men: Just perfect. So simple but it seems to capture the complexities of the show.
Dead Like Me: Favorite part- Grim Reaper chest bump.
Dexter: A sociopath just going through the motions.
Skins: I’m just obsessed with the song they used in Series 1 and 2.
