I absolutely adore the 80s synth music and the credits&#8217; simplicity as they merge to create the show title. I remember the first time I sat down to watch Stranger Things, and the opening credits started&#8230;. I was hooked.<\/p>\n\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v4-GcS1UQyg?si=jNMCG3jxtBw-EYFa\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t<h3><strong>The X-Files (1993-2018)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Is there anything more iconic than the opening music to <em>The X-Files<\/em>? I know the titles changed over time once David Duchovny left the show, but I absolutely adore the original opening sequence. The only thing that ever changed was the rare occasion during a special episode or finale when The Truth Is Out There would be replaced by a new slogan.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tell you the thrill I had when I watched the revival series, and they used the original beginning all these years later. My kids had never seen an episode of The X-Files before, but when I started my rewatch last October, they all recognized the music from various videos they&#8217;ve seen on YouTube! Even if you don&#8217;t watch this show, chances are you still know the opening title music.<\/p>\n\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8KH97Sp5jRE?si=oVAdoC7zrnfOhw1a\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t<h3><strong>Bob&#8217;s Burgers (2011-)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Bob&#8217;s Burgers<\/em> is one of my favorite shows, and I always have to watch the opening credits as each episode is different, \u00e0 la <em>The Simpsons<\/em> with the chalkboard&#8230; except instead of a chalkboard, there is always a new store to the right of the Belchers with an amusing store name, and there is always a new exterminator van that pulls up. What I love is that during the actual show, whenever it shows the diner from the front, the building to the right is always vacant, with a For Rent sign in the window (save for an episode where it was turned into a temporary Halloween store!).<\/p>\n\t<p><b>Other Favorites<\/b>: <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Brooklyn 99, WandaVision, House, True Blood, True Detective, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt<\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TMP Television Edition: Opening Title Sequence: Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday&#8217;s theme and explain why you chose those movies.
