5 Best Show Intros Ever

You know that feeling you get when your show comes on? All giddy and a rush of energy?

Well, post your Top 5 best show intros!

Mine are
1.Dexter
(Perfect intro, shows how he starts his day and how it looks like he's murdering every minute of it. Song is a prefect fit and hasn't gotten old yet.)

2.The Office
(great song, okay collage)

3.American Horror Story
(reminds me of se7en, good score)

4.Star Trek: Voyager
(just all around awesome)

5.The X-Files
(used to scare the crap out of me)

Ark II! To this day, if we get turned around or a bit lost in the car, I'll say to my fam: "I, Jonah, Ruth, Samuel, and Adam... are fully aware of the dangers we face as we enter into unknown and possibly even hostile areas."
