Intro


Is it me or does Relic Hunter have the longest intro ever on a tv series? Out of curiosity I timed it and it lasted for 1 minute and 20 seconds (sad huh?) Does anyone know of any other series with such a long intro?

haha, i thought it was long too but i loved it. Quantum Leap also has a long intro which runs for about 90seconds. its probably even longer than RH. it's funny cos both shows have a cast of 2 characters and really long intros whereas shows with larger casts have shorter intros :)

Ooh yeah, Quantum Leap, that was seriously long-winded! Thanks!

Test Deadwood... I do believe its intro last for 3 minutes and change.

Dexter and Entourage both have really long intros, as well.

It's odd, I never really noticed the length of RH's intro.

uh i think Smallville is a minute

I thought Relic Hunter's introduction was 1 minute and 30 seconds--a bit too long--but I was wrong. Jessbaby is right: its 1 minute and 20 seconds each which is still much too long. A more reasonable time would be 1 minute or 1 minute and 10 seconds at the most. As an aside, each Relic Hunter episode's length was roughly 42 full minutes.

I love the ridiculously long intro. That song just never stops playing and they're not even putting any titles up! haha.

The intro from season 2 is long, but I think that by season 3 it was good.

I like how it starts with Sydney saying "Welcome to ancient studies...".

I think Tales From The Crypt's intro clocks in at 2 minutes, which considering each episode is only 25 minutes long is a tad excessive...

reply

It was the scariest part of the show.

Baywatch intro is like 2 minutes IIRC.

you were paying close attention

Yes, Baywatch in the first seasons is about 1.30 - 2 minutes. Definately longer than Relic Hunter.
