Dexter intro

One of the best intros for current TV.

Six Feet Under and The Sopranos get the nod for older shows.

Agreed on all counts, can't believe it took that long for Sopranos to get mentioned.

Also, The Office.

Isn't CYE just the music and title for like 3 seconds? I mean, I like the music and everything, but it's a little plain, no?

The sopranos was just ok. SFU was good, but I think Dexter has a perfect intro for the subject matter. I showed it to some friends of mine and they all went, "eewwwww" a lot, which means it was very effective considering it's just him shaving and eating.

Dexter and the unit are the only shows that I don't skip the intro when I'm watching the DVR

g/f hates me for doing that
