This is what I would have said too until I saw the opening for American Horror Story (Season 1). Same company that did the opening credits for Se7en.

Having a 9 year old daughter means I've seen some Nickelodean.

Drake and Josh theme song is fantastic.

The Walking Dead isn't bad, either. Creepy music.

Oh **** I just realized the GOAT:

Unsolved Mysteries. /thread

Can't find the exact one but this one gives a clue to what it was like. It's lacking Bobby Stack's voice though, which added to it.

Nothing better in the late '80s/early '90s than to be up at 1am and ready for bed then find one of these episodes was just starting on TV. Such a GOAT show.

RIP BOBBY STACK

How does this thread get this far without the ultimate fantasy female of a generation of pubescent males?

Thread also needs a little "book 'em Dano" action.

Two of favorite shows, but they have horrible opening songs. Justified may be the worst ever.
Deadwood opening is awesome.

And I wondered if that was the most logical, what the hell did they dismiss as wildly improbable.

The Twilight Zone with Rod Serling.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

And the music will never leave you.

Perfect strangers really is the perfect opening for that sort of show, it tells a whole story and lets casualPerfectStrangersViewer know what the show all about.
