Board 8 > Other side of the coin: Awful opening credits for good TV shows

(+) Yeah! (+)

Let's do the opposite of Scarlet's topic, shall we? What's a show that's high quality, but the opening credits leave a lot to be desired and/or don't speak to the show's quality?

I'm talking about things like Orange Is the New Black and Star Trek Enterprise, but what are some other shows you'd nominate?

Also, as a caveat, we're only talking about the quality of the show while that opening is used. So if a show switched to a garbage intro after it stopped being good like Fairly OddParents apparently did or was in a rut a la Pokemon's "Rival Destinies" season, that doesn't count.

I never liked the Daredevil opening credits

I mean I would have said Secret Invasion then I watched the last two episodes.

Oh, I really tired of the Buffy intro after a couple of seasons. It felt a bit 1997, which makes sense considering you know, thats from when it was from.

I was never really a fan of Community's theme song.

much better topic than the other one since i tend to avoid awful stuff...

In this case, going to say Justified - excellent show but skipped through the intro every single time, never did it for me.

oh also Homeland, guess it fits the motif for the show but always thought it was a trash intro.

But this is so much worse

trash song, trash visuals, but an exact 30 seconds allowing easy skipping to the episode proper :)

Daredevil reco from Snake is also a pretty good one tbh. Can't let your love for the shows bias you to banal and/or mediocre intros!

let's hear your awful opening credits for good tv shows pick, Johnbobb!!

I do think the Justified intro visual wise is bland but I do love the song.

Justified intro is great

I actually think the very opposite.

I synthesize both of Snake and Iceman's negative opinions so when it comes to my choice, I feel.... Justified

Long Hard Times to Come was nominated for an Emmy!

The Gangstagrass disrespect is awful

Anyway I feel like this is something anime suffers from more than other shows due to how often their intros change

Everybody Loves Raymond could never settle on an intro and they all ranged from meh to bad

This cacophony.
