The Opening Title Sequence......


...is simply the greatest show opening in television history. It introduces the new viewer to the main character and concisely describes the entire premise of the show- in what- three minutes ? I can remember how I would watch the opening "teaser" scene of the show each week right up until the moment when I would hear the "computer beeps" and begin to see S I X ..... start to work its way across the screen... The first time that I saw that, I thought that this had to be the coolest TV show of all time. I used to get knots in my stomach waiting for the show to get started. Has any other opening title sequence equalled The Six Million Dollar Man ? Is it just me ? Are there other shows that create this kind of excitement ? Forget about Bigfoot, action figures, and lunch pails, nothing sold TSMDM like that opening title sequence !!!!
Any other favorites ??

Agreed! Must also mention that the intro to Monday Night Football was very influential (behind the scenes) - and I liked to watch the Planet of the Apes, intro too was cool!!! Super killer that we now have flatscreens and blu-ray and hd - I am amazed every day!
