There's just certain things about them, whether it be the intro song/tune or the way it's filmed that makes me not want to hit that skip button.
- Doctor Who - Whenever I hear this playing I'm like "Do I hear the song of my people!"
When we watch Doctor Who my sister and I like to sing along to the theme song (usually horrendously out of tune) and do a weird little dance.

This youtube video shows all of the Doctor Who theme-songs to date (I think)
Sylvester McCoy's 1987-1989 and Paul McGann's 1996 themes win the prize for being the weirdest (although, they are still strangely awesome) and my favourite is David Tennant's 2007 theme. - The Musketeers - The BBC certainly got this intro right, it's fast-paced and exciting and the music is by Murray Gold - composer of the Doctor Who Soundtrack.

I was completely sold on this show from the moment I saw the intro.
There's nothing like watching men striding around in leather to awesome music!
Also, Aramis is completely awesome in every way, just saying. - Vikings - The sheer epicness of this intro cannot properly be expressed in words!

It's super dramatic and is filmed in a way that I really really like.
Also, there's lots of symbolism and references to Norse mythology and legend.
It really fits with the whole tone of the series, and if I wasn't convinced about watching the show at first, the intro really did the trick. - Game of Thrones - Confession: I haven't actually seen this show, but I have seen the intro, and it is amazing.
It reminds me of the pop-up books I played with as a child, but on a far larger and darker scale.

You're basically getting a whirlwind tour of Westros accompanied by a great theme song. - Firefly - This intro is totally different than the rest, but I still love it.

I adore the theme song (and I will sing along to it VERY badly when I'm home alone).
It defiantly brings across the whole space-cowboy theme! - Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries - I am a huge fan of both the 20s and murder mysteries so I love this show.

The intro is so fun and the music really makes me want to dance every time I hear it.
I also love the way whole intro is designed to look like a watercolour painting.
Miss Fisher's eccentric personality and fabulous style is portrayed admirably. - Elementary - I am not really a big fan of this show, but the one thing I did really like about it was the intro.

It reminds me of a game my sister has called Mousetraps where you have to build this elaborate chain reaction which will eventually lower a cage trapping the plastic mouse.
The intro has a vaguely steampunkish (is that even a word?) feel, what with all the spinning guns, wire and cogs (sadly this is not really carried through into the show).
The music is really cool too. - Sherlock - First of all, I am over the moon to hear there's going to be another season FANGIRLS UNCONTROLLABLY!!!!!!!!!!

I pretty much love everything about this intro, especially the music and the bit with the title.
It feels really busy and conveys to me a sense of how big and busy London is and how hard it actually must be to solve crimes there.
For any of you out there who play a musical instrument, I'm pretty sure you can find the sheet music for the theme on the internet.
If you do, please share them with me in the comments!
