Inspired by both a conversation I had with Dragon Ma and Kabongs 100 best music video list, I thought a thread devoted to the most Shit Hot Opening Credit Sequences For TV shows might chew into my work day nicely.
Link to an online version of the video if you can, please.

1. Doctor Who.

I think the Blind Boys of Alabama version from Season 1 is still the best.

16. Dexter

It probably works better within the context of the show, but by god do I love these credits.

Dexter, btw, is a show everyone needs to be watching. Especially you Matt, I'm sure you'd get a kick out of it.
