The A-Team

All time best.

I still find myself whistling that tune when I'm on a hard, strenuous job and i reach that point when things start to look up again an "the plan comes together'.

Nope, it was just a coincidence. Never visit that site before. I decided to post the thread after browsing through several series intros in my collection, while coding and testing one of my new extensions for Firefox.

I love a lot of the one's already posted.

One of my favorites is CSI: Miami.

I always do my Horatio Caine impersonation and then my Roger Daltrey scream from "Won't Get Fooled Again". Drives my wife crazy.

:p

IT crowd intro is awesome. Also the intro to the 'The Saint' series (with Roger Moore) is a classic. And the 007 intro with the shot in the lens.

I was glad you included Red Dwarf... hmmm, trying to remember "The Young Ones" theme. (You could see those in the states as well. "Red Dwarf - Return to Earth " was disappointing.

When I was young I use to follow some of this series.

1. Little house on the prairie
2. The Walton
3. V
4. Macgyver
5. How the west was won
6. The lone ranger

Now I don't follow much only just a few like.

1. Fringe
2. V (remake)
3. Glee (season 1 has ended waiting for season 2)
