Ahem:

Guess first

Egregious, egregious omission.

I think this should be on the list too. It's parodied often enough that you can't deny that it's influential.

Before I opened the thread I was thinking of The Prisoner and I see someone beat me to it. Then I saw Andy Griffith. No matter how you rate the show, that has to be the best opening. Gunsmoke, Alfred Hitchcock and The Twilight Zone deserve honorable mentions.

"When you walk through the garden
You gotta watch your back
Well I beg your pardon
Walk the straight and narrow track"

I like Mad Men as well because of its seemingly symbolic nature.

Theme music and John Barry go well together.

That's a good one, with fantastic music. The Prisoner is definitely up there too.


I have to say Star Trek for Shatner's classic speech, but the most effective one for me is the TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

There are probably at least 50 of these that are all perfect for their shows. I salute them all.

Portlandia does have a great opening, the music is perfect for the landscape.
