The Simpsons has some intros that push up to and sometimes over two minutes in length. Sure, they're often clever and do take time and money to create, but it's still time taken from the actual show.
Supernatural or Lost are good examples of how an intro should be. Literally just the name of the show on the screen for a few seconds, no theme music that gets annoying halfway through the season, no montage of the characters tromping around a fountain, just skip to the show.
- wst_ 9y agoNetflix is just skipping intro for you.
- freehunter 9y agoReally? Weird. Usually if it skips the intro it plays the entire intro the first time you play it after not playing it for a while. It never does that for me. At any rate... the Netflix skipped intro is how it should be done. Thank god for Netflix.
- JonathonW 9y agoNo intro to skip in Lost (it's just 5-10 seconds of the show title against a black screen). That's been the trend for dramas basically ever since-- Lost was among the first to adopt the minimal intro that's popular now. Stargate even made a joke out of it in one of their later episodes.
- purple-again 9y agoMany people would consider the simpsons intros part of the show not a traditional intro. Seeing what Bart writes on the chalkboard was my favorite part of the show as a kid.
- delecti 9y agoAn intro they only use once is part of the "actual show".
