Here are a couple of my favorites. They use montages of images rather than a narrative, but I think they do a good job of giving you an idea of what you're about to watch.

Great topic, @mrjupiter  , I know the Batman show was mentioned, but that moment when the figures morph into the famous Batman logo never fails to entrance me. |

And the first season of Land of the Giants had such a great, scary to a kid (me) opening. The second season opening was more typical: a mishmash of images pulled from episodes, etc.

Remember this one? (With Mike Pence as Steve Zodiac and Melania Trump as Venus) Oooooh, yeah... but I was more of a Captain Scarlet fan, myself. ( This doesn't count, but I like it anyway!!!) |

All those Gerry Anderson shows had good openings. In addition to the ones already posted remember liking Supercar and Captain Scarlet.
edit: oops, posted that while still on page 2 of the thread so I didn't see RR's mention of Captain Scarlet.

This one may take too much time setting up the premise, but I like the theme and the show, so . . .

Thats pure fraggin (as Lobo would say) gold Hal. Love it. Glad you liked it. Not sure what issue of MAD it's from, but I remember reading it when I was a kid. Dave Berg was great! |
