| - (Shortened opening) NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. What is it about a good TV show intro that just gets you hyped up? NC (vo): It's almost a dying art. A lot of shows will just show a title card, hell if even that, and be done with it. But with those that know the importance of it, a lot of work is put in. The intro to a show is like a trailer for your product, and years of advertising have made it clear that that's pretty damn essential. From the music to the visuals to the explanation of what you're about to see, it has to be the best representation you can put out there.

The intro to a show is like a trailer for your product, and years of advertising have made it clear that that's pretty damn essential. From the music to the visuals to the explanation of what you're about to see, it has to be the best representation you can put out there. NC: And we're going to look at the best of them here today. Now, there are a few limitations here. First off, I'm only doing American shows. NC (vo): The reason? Well, if we include Japan in there, (scoffs) they'd all win! I'm also not just going for the catchiest theme, and it has to be more than just some clips thrown together. A lot of it has to be created for the opening. The song, the visuals, and just how much it gets you hyped up to see the show. NC: With that said, let's take a look and see which 11 incorporated these qualities the most. Why 11? Because I like to go one step beyond. So sit back and enjoy the Top 11 Best TV Show Intros!
