It's The Sopranos. By miles. True Blood is great if you're an emo, laughable if you're a normal human being.

Surely the master of US tv themes is Lalo Schrifen-

Law & Order SVU (UK opening titles)



Salvage One (Sat morn ITV when I was a kid)



Fantastic Journey (can't remember what station showed it, RTE or ITV)

Fringe (retro)

It's good how they slightly change the title sequence depending on what's happening in the show, like they had a different sequence for episodes that take place in the alternate universe, and a different one for this season's alternate time-line, and this one for the this episode that takes place in the past.

Tour Of Duty

Good call!

The True Blood title sequence gives a sense about it's setting, the Deep South to a bluesy country number. No idea what's supposed to be emo about it, either visually or in terms of music. Are you not just letting us know how cool you think you are ?


Anyways, can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet:

Anyways, can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet:

Probably because this thread is about US TV series.

Who's the bloke in your avatar btw, Reno? I've always meant to ask.

The famously rubbish film director Ed Wood, starring in his own Glen or Glenda

 

[Voley]

Ah, right. The sweater should've given it away. I can remember Johnny Depp getting a bit overexcited by them in the film about him.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

And an amazing song to boot.

This version only played once but it is awesome . . .

 

[boohoo]

Boardwalk Empire

Just started watching all of these and tbh the title sequence does get pretty fucking tiresome rather quickly, and what's with the random R.E.M. style rock music

 

[Stigmata]

H8ters gonna h8

Is that like a thing in that if you have already appeared in some sci fi tv it goes on your sci fi cv as experience?

Just watching season 2 of Homeland and I quite like those titles as they are clearly intended to be like a dream sequence.
