TV Opening Titles

I've mentioned a few times how much I love the Game of Thrones opening, and it had me thinking about how many shows are completely getting rid of openings in favor of just showing a title card to squeeze in as many commercials as possible.  It also had me thinking about TV show openings that I enjoy a lot, the ones that I wouldn't fast forward through because I liked to watch them. I've compiled a list (with video!)  to some of my favorites.

Game of Thrones - 1x02 - The Kingsroad

Things are moving forward at a slow pace in the second episode of Game of Thrones, and not much really happens.  Not that that is a bad thing, we learn more about the many characters that inhabit this world.

Game of Thrones - 1x01 - Winter is Coming

After the first episode of Game of Thrones, all I really have to say is that I want more.  Half because of the amazing cliffhanger, and half because I fell I need more to really understand what is going on.

Game of Thrones - Teaser

HBO made available online the first 12 minutes of the first episode of Game of Thrones, and I am already hooked.  First off, watch it, then rejoin me for my thoughts.

Sure, Why Not?

Anyone who knows me knows I watch a lot of television.  I also tend to see a lot of movies, not as many as I'd like.  Movies are also not conveniently beamed into my house and recorded so I can watch them anytime I wish (unless we count Netflix, but that's only after DVD release).  To supplement my viewing habits, I read a lot of online writings about TV and movies.  For a while, I've thought it would be kind of cool to do that myself, and thinking about it more and more has eventually led me to the conclusion, "sure, why not?"
